    Need to know the jargon - WOT??

    I've been reading some of the topics and responses and have run across the acronym WOT. What does this refer to?? Forgive me I assume it is pretty easy to understand - just not sure if I got the meaning correct.<br /><br />Thanks.

    1980 70HP Johnson kills under load
