Default Merc Ran GREAT!!

Took the V to Lake Hartwell today...spent the day trolling and didn't catch a thing...but the good news is The Merc started great, REstarted great and ran FLAWLESSLY all day long...we trolled lures, umbrellas, Alabama rigs w/it instead of the usual live bait/elec motor technique....idled along at 800 rpms the whole time...no loading up, just couldn't have been better!!...DANG that motor's SWEET!!...

Congrats!

I hope I can say the same when I get going?? Boat sat all summer last year, and is full with 100 gal of gas from then also. I treated it but this new gas sucks!

I guess I forgot to mention...I went down w/tools I'd need to bump it up a little per the conversation you and I had about it...but it fired right up on the trailer, backed off and never hiccuped all day...I never touched it!!...so it's "dialed in and running right" from your last hands on!!..

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
