    How do you guys mix Gas

    You can take apart the battery pack and fix it. PM me for details. I build my own batteries mostly for trolling . I'm actually looking forward to electric outboards. But as of right now, the technology isn't there yet ( as far as energy density and weight) , and current batteries are still...

    How do you guys mix Gas

    Don't understand where this hate for 2 strokes is coming from. They're lighter. Have more torque and top speed. Less moving parts. Cheaper to buy, repair, maintain and easier to fix. No, instead get something heavier, slower, more expensive and complicated to fix & maintain.

    How do you guys mix Gas

    If you always want a full tank , it makes sense to fill the gas first , so you know the exact amount of gas you put in, use that number to mix the exact amount of oil you need.

    Where are all the inflatables?

    Since it's your first time, and you don't currently have a trailer , buy what you can comfortably lift in and out of the trunk of your vehicle . Start small and work your way up. Personally I go to the gym everyday and can deadlift over 400 lbs , but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to do...

    Where are all the inflatables?

    Don't just start buying. Plan ahead. There are no refunds. That being said, buy what you like, and what makes you happy. Life's short. Your boat will be about 250 lbs. Your outboard will be about 100 lbs. Invest in a trailer , or go to the gym and practice lifting 350 lbs. Believe me it's not...

    Earmuffs & Peeing

    Even if you run the impeller dry for a few seconds , you can damage it. Another reason why I hate muffs. Submerge the impeller.
