    Dad and I have run chainsaws and outboards on ATF and gasoline. You mix it closer to 16:1 , where using SAE 30 is mixed closer to 24:1 and using SAE 40 is mixed closer to 40:1. Dad used to work in the test lab at Tecumseh. There were many oils tested over the years and run hard. The biggest...

    Has anybody painted their bilge glossy grey with the total boat epoxy?

    when I gel coated my bilge, I took grey, blue and red gel and speckled the bilge using a brush and the flick splattering method. that way, not only was it sealed, all the colors on the exterior were represented in the bilge, and it would help hide any oil spots, etc. Grey would be fine, its...
