    Went electric

    We had 15 mechanics at our old shop. Mix of plumbers, electricians, havc, carpenters. 15/20 years ago DeWalt was what everyone used. Till they started putting out junk. Most switched over to Milwaukee, myself and a few others went Makita. When things went lithium, battery troubles were pretty...

    2019 Mercury 20HP EFI 4 stroke, hard initial start.

    I’m in the dark on these newer efi motors. Talked to the local boat repair guy today. Said he doesn’t have the plug in computer to trouble shoot that motor, said mercury has many plug in diagnostic set ups compared to other manufacturers. Also talked to a semi local highly regarded dealer/ shop...

    Looking at the service manual it appears this motor has electric fuel pump.

    Thanks! Not sure how that would work with EFI? Maybe someone could chime in. I thought these EFI motors are supposed to be easy start and this one does after that initial start.

    2019 Mercury 20HP EFI 4 stroke, hard initial start.

    Electric start. Motor is very stubborn to start initially. Once it starts and I run it. It’ll start right up for the rest of the day. Any ideas where to start. Primer bulb seems to be fine, plugs are good, fuel filter good.

    Shingles

    I hear ya. My rash is not a big issue. It’s the internal pain that’s bad, really bad. Deep inside my back and gut. As soon as I get over this and am eligible to get the vaccine I’m getting it, because you can get shingles again. This coming from a guy that’s never even got a flu shot in his...

    Shingles

    Not a big fan of all these vaccines and flu shots especially after the Covid fiasco. But if you haven’t got the shingles vaccine you should get it. Stuff ain’t no joke. Last week I had unbearable pain in my abdomen and back. So much so I went the ER. Turns out it was shingles. The doc was able...

    Gas and Ethanol

    I’ve used stabil for years on boats and motorcycles before winter storage. Never an issue at spring start up and running when the good weather gets here. We now have a gas station nearby that sells ethanol free gas. I use it in the boat.

    Need advice

    I don’t rely on apps for much of anything at all. For fishing I Just look at the local weather for the body of water I plan to fish. I pay particular attention to wind. That’s usually good enough for me. My onboard electronics have all the on water navigation I’ll ever need. Good luck with it...

    Humility

    Pretty much cloud cover here today. Was able to see it off and on. Was only 90% eclipse in my area. It got a bit darker and cooler when it was going on.
