Boiled Bream, If you like shrimp Try it
If you like boiled shrimp you will love boiled bream, just boil them just like shrimp and dip in cocktail sauce
or use shrimp boil. Crappie will come apart but bream will stay firm. -

What caused this 2000 25hp mercury
Anyone with knowledge of what caused this on the bottom piston only of a 25 mercury outboard. The top piston is in good shape with very little scarring.

Got it apart, the problem is only on the bottom cylinder, the rattling must have been the piston slapping. I hope to get by with boring it 20 over.
