    I'm not picky. Whatever is convenient.

    If something won't run on gas that can be found easily around here, I don't want it.

    Best case it's out of adjustment and not pulling it fully into gear, worst case the corners are worn off of the clutch dogs in the lower unit.

    Most boats either had a hose that ran to the back or just a thru-hull in the bottom or side of the boat near the livewell to drain it.

    That is 100% the truth.

    I had it last summer, the first day was the worst. I didn't even suspect Covid at first, I had been outside all that day and thought I had just gotten too hot. Quit early...

    EFI is a little easier to operate, turn the key and go. May or may not have a primer.

    Be careful shopping online for outboards. There's plenty of scam sites around.

    It's also worth noting that when your boat was made, outboards were rated at the crankshaft, in the mid 80s that...

    You probably won't find one, it isn't really common to have a shutoff on the outboard wiring. There's really nothing on those motors that draws power with the key off so there is no need. If you...

    Windproof is what you want. Makes all the difference in the world. Pair it with a good thermal base layer, and you can get away with a lot less clothing.

    For running spot to spot, I have a pair of...

    That's why every boat should have a safety chain on the winch.

    Almost lost a boat once when the winch let loose, they will fail eventually.

    Yep, probably the little glass beads that are supposed to self-balance a tire. I'm not convinced that they actually work that well. Maybe on 40" Boggers, but certainly not on a trailer tire.

    I upgraded to a 2015 F150 from a twice worn out 06 Silverado in March.

    The Ford has the 2.7 turbo V6, Chevy was a 5.3, both 4x4. I believe the Chevy was rated at 310hp and the Ford is 325, which...

    One bad thing about aluminum, especially tandems, the tires can cause them to float when retrieving.

    Personally I prefer steel.

    I have read that guys have used the larger ATV/motorcycle style regulators on these and they work well. Whether or not they will fit under the cowl, I'm not sure.

    Side imaging covers the widest swath by far. Get it dialed in and you can find the schools in an area, drop a waypoint and come back around to pick it apart with LS.
