Yes! And it's a tiller, so it's easy to take off.

I never considered the minute or so it takes to hook up or unhook
remote controls much of a chore. They haven't changed the fittings on
Evinrudes and Johnsons for more than fifty years, And even the small
ones were fitted for them. We have an Evinrude three with remote
controls. Now they have electric start tens. That big trolling motor
battery will crank one for hours or at least way more than long
enough.

Photo of Georgia Red Clay: http://tinyurl.com/4ma8f9
Used to see that when I was stationed in Mississippi - saw a lot of it
in Alabama - something about the SE and red clay.

Around here when you talk stained water, it's usually tannin from pine
trees - ugly brown color.
Everyone knows that Georgia red clay gets around.
I am sure that makes sense to everyone else, but it went right over my
head.

Georgia red clay can stain your bathing suit, shoes, carpet and clothes
real quick. I keep a separate set of crocs, on the boat, so I don't
track any clay on board the boat. I did buy a new pair of "fake crocs
today. They were $8.99 at target. It will be interesting to see how
they feel and hold up compared to the $29.99 pair I purchased at REI
yesterday.


You were probably sitting when you read it.

Tom was talking about seeing it in Mississippi, Alabama, and the SE. I was
just explaining that it gets around. You know, like moves.

....never mind.

Well, probably everyone else got it but me, I am slower than most. But
you are correct, Georgia Red Clay is seen in Mississippi, Alabama and
the SE. Everyone in Miss. want to know who carried all that Georgia Red
Clay all the way over there. Can you imagine how many trucks it too? ;)

Here is a great photo of the dangers of Georgia Red Clay.

I'm guessing that's not a Georgia cop. They probably have more sense than
to get in that crap.

On the other hand, it is a great picture, and I love having the ability to
order prints right there on the site.

You don't reckon that's an Alabama cop just gathering some Georgia Red for
his flower garden, do you?

No, he was not. He was gathering that clay to stain his barn with
Georgia Barn Red wash. It is the traditional color of barns in his
area. ;)

I've wondered all my life where and how the Georgia Barn Red color
originated. I think that color has migrated northwards. I believe there may
be one or two of that color on the other side of the river. Doggone.

I have a copy of this book, give me by my Dutch friends, which talks a
little about the color of barns.

http://tinyurl.com/3kxua5

Beautiful book, which states:P "Red is the traditional color associated
with barns. The red shade was originally created by adding iron oxide, a
comparatively inexpensive pigment, to a mixture of linseed oil and
turpentine. The resulting color did not show dirt readily, but its primary
virtue was weather protection."

My grandfather's barn was red, as was the granary, the corn shed, and a few
other assorted outbuildings. I think he must have had some of the Georgia
Red sent to Minnesota for his use.

Can you imagine how many ships it took to stock Viet Nam with its
supply of red laterite? The minerals it weathers from are common
worldwide and so is the clay. They have it in East Texas and South
Carolina and everywhere in between.

Yes! And it's a tiller, so it's easy to take off. There are some
awesome fishing lakes around these parts that gasoline motors aren't
allowed on.


That raises another question. could you be allowed to leave it on and
not use it? Just use electric only?

Or do they want it to be removed so no one is tempted to fire one up?

If memory serves, a 25-hp Merc four cycle weighs about 150 pounds and
probably is bolted on, rather than clamped. The weight is mostly in the
powerhead, and to do the job properly, you need at least a small engine
crane. It's not an outboard you put on and take off a boat like a 3 hp
Evinrude Lightwin.



Memory sucks. The 15 hp 4 stroke is about 110# and I do not think they
make a 25 except in the bigfoot. Not what you want on a lightweight tin
boat.


Gosh...you were so definite I looked:

http://tinyurl.com/5vqww6

Merc 25 hp four stroke. Regular lower unit. 157 pounds.

As for what Loogy puts on a boat, well, you wouldn't want to interfere
with "evolution in action," would you?

I understood the only 25 was the bigfoot.

My 20 hp 4 stroke Honda with electric start and power tilt weighs 140
lbs. It's quite a handful taking it off. I use a power hoist with
lifting straps. On the other hand my old Merc 15 hp 2 stroke weighs
95 lbs and is halfway manageable, about the largest I'd recommend for
easy removal.

About the same weight as my Yamaha T-8 with power tilt. About 110#
