Johnson is still selling 2 strokes. My understanding is that there is an product called Accusump that will blend gas and 2 cycle oil. Parts will be around for many years. I have a great 1990 15 hp johnson that I will not sell and has been 100 percent reliable. I have weighed all of the...

The oven device may warm something after awhile we had one and got rid of it. A microwave would be more useful. The lunch box device I have heard may be good. I would double check to make sure.

You will not use the 4 stroke any more then the 2 stroke will you? That Johnson 2 stroke is a very good engine, I have the 15hp version and it has been a great motor. We use our left over oil in our snow blower, we dilute it with more gas. Another thing to do is to not mix the oil into the...

Dave: For about 10 years I had a 2hp Yamaha 2 stroke and really liked it. I still miss it. Rick

SS props have less flex and will give better performance then an aluminum in terms of both speed and fuel economy. I don't bang a prop up very often, my last one was also in 1992. That said I keep a set of aluminum props for new territory or for situations where I would rather break a prop...

Look at the Yamaha 2.5 its a superior product. Its probably about 10 years ahead of the Honda. I used one for a season and it worked well, then they fixed my outboard and I had to give the Yamaha back to the shop. I have recently purchased a 4 hp Yamaha.

As I understand the rating, its the hp used to power the boat at any one time. If you are using both the main engine and the kicker then add the two. Yes you could theoretically have a 100 hp main and a 100 hp kicker and so long as you did not use both at the same time you would be...

What were and are the numbers, I understand that the NW is really getting hit.

My experience with twins has been that, yes, they look cool, but the next boat will probably not have them for the sake of simplicity and convenience. On a larger boat they can help with docking but they can also be more of a problem with docking. One point of view is that you have...

Get a sirloin and cut it into bite size pieces at home. Same with potatoes, carrots and onions. Freeze if you want. Brown the sirloin at home or on the Wallas. On the boat combine and cook as a stew or as a roast. Use left overs with eggs in the morning. Eggs scrambled with the little...

I presume that you will use Sunbrella. Darker colors last longer. Make sure the cover covers what you want covered. Make sure that it has vinyl wear patches in the spots where there is a significant chance for wear. Study your anchor and see how you want the cover to handle that area...

I would be concerned about the powerhead of the Honda, there could be a bent crank. What I think about is the very fine tolerances to which these engines are manufactured and if damaged from direct hit, the engine may go for 100 hours during which there could be uneven wear leading to ??? and...

I came to this site in the first place to learn more about C Dorys. We are in the process of looking for a new boat. Since I first came to this site I have read a lot of good posts from a lot of good people. They seem very knowledgeable and helpful. The focus of the site is much bigger then...

My favorite web cam is Petersburg AK looking to the NW: http://kfsk.org/modules/webcam/ Rick

Brent: Thanks for the link, We also use a Mac. Jay: I appreciate the post. Fascinating. We were in Tracy Arm this summer but did not go to Ford Terror. What would you do differently? Rick

This is my first post. I appreciate the reply. Its fun and interesting. I am learning. One of the things that my wife and I have noticed about this forum, is that the boat is used to enjoy other activities besides just the boat. Thanks. Rick
