    Tahoe Boat Section??

The thing that I don't understand is that this section is like a ghost town. There are lots of views with few replies. I was looking forward to talking to...

    Starting issues when Motor is turned

    Hello everyone, I have sort of a unique issue going on with my outboard lately. I was out on the lake and went to start the motor and I got nothing, no cranking or anything.

    Mixing fuel and oil

    I know this has been brought up before and I did read some threads on it...however the answers were not adequate enough for me so I am going to ask the question again. When mixing fuel with oil it makes sense to add the oil first and then the fuel to get some sort of mixing in the tank...and...
