Control cables have holes in liners that allow a lot of water entry. Outboards have all the engine weight at the stern, making them stern heavy. Well, duhh....(c; How much tax money did this scientific revelation cost us? Remember the gummit report on why children fall off bicycles?...hee hee. Must be the same bureaucrats.
