    new seals

    When my seal kit comes in on Monday I'm going to replace the seals in the lower unit of my FD-20C 1966 20hp Johnson Seahorse, would it be a good idea to scrub the whole lower unit down real good with gas or just clean up good around the seals and let it be.

    I pulled a good one

    My wife and I went to the river on Sunday, we put in and trolled down river for a piece, we fished for about 30 minutes, sense we weren't getting any bites we decided to go back up river to the dam, I turned around to start the outboard and realized I forgot to put the fuel tank in the boat.
