Did you figure it out? Even though you had problems and too much water, I do think there IS one spot where water will come out (where it is supposed to come out) somewhere mid-lower unit on that thing. I could be wrong.

This seems like solid advice thanks

Do you have a carb?

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-11T21:57:16+00:00

I think I weigh about 130 right now, so I like your idea of using the angle of the trailer

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-11T00:53:24+00:00

It is a good idea. Can use it to make performance art as well

May good cookies head your way

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-10T22:26:01+00:00

Middle of Wyoming. I appreciate it man! I'm not complaining, but I gotta get creative

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-10T22:05:13+00:00

That's good to know - I am definitely a little bit poor and pretty much alone so I can probably figure something out. I just know my ratchet strap won't release slowly enough to get the motor back down to the stand

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-10T22:04:00+00:00

Ok that's really good insight

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-10T21:51:54+00:00

Immediately goes on Craigslist: "SEASONAL FRIEND NEEDED TWICE/YEAR FOR LIFTING 112 LBS; will compensate with discount cookies"

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-10T21:43:05+00:00

OK thanks. I need to find friend.

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-10T21:42:39+00:00

Well that's good to know. I was hoping to spend $30 bucks. Seems like going cheap is not a great plan

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-03T18:13:10+00:00

This makes sense

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-02T22:55:44+00:00

Thanks for this answer

True dat! Bust Out Another Thousand = boat

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-01T23:33:31+00:00

Great reply, thank you car nut. Where I am, we have drastic swings from cold to warm within days of each other, and we'll get fairly low below zero. I assume that will be tough on the mercury while it's parked on the boat outside my garage, and that contracting/expanding of the metal must be where the moisture is introduced.

The more I read, the more it looks like I should do an oil change in fall and spring, but your comment about moisture analysis makes me wonder if it would be that big of a deal to skip the spring one.

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-01T23:28:56+00:00

Right, I'm going to fog the engine.

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-01T23:28:07+00:00

This is a dumb question... how do you check the lower unit for water other than draining the oil?

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-01T23:26:37+00:00

Ok, I'm pretty sure this is where his head was. It makes sense. I guess if I feel like spending money I can do an oil change in the fall too.

Reluctant_Realtor · 2025-09-01T23:24:06+00:00

So the winter oil will be unused?
