Default Re: I/Os VS OutBoards

Auto parts are different from marine engine parts. Take for example the carb. Auto carbs when the float sticks and lets the fuel keep coming, dump the extra gas out side the carb while marine carbs dump it into the carb to flood out the engine and preventing a fire.

I was told this by a friend who paid TWICE as much to get the marine carb instead of an auto carb for his boat.
