Phes, cool deal....I would love to change all my fuel lines before it becomes a problem.

Ferm - I'm so used to B.O.A.T (bust out another thousand) every time I have a problem that the $200 seems like chump change....he did lubricate my trailer jack and coupler. Also sprayed down the engine with 656 lube. He said it is a good idea especially if run in saltwater because eventually things will start sticking.

Spare - I would love to have a 4 stroke. The fuel savings would counter the maintenance costs but it would take a long time to justify the price difference from what I paid for my 2 stroke. I would get at least 1 more mpg. I get 2 - 2.5 now. With a 4 I should get anywhere b/t 3 - 4 mpg. Would add a little more weight on my girls donk-a-donk though. Which could make the scuppers angry.

MJ - OUCH! But had to be done! Been there done that...bought 2 t-shirts!

RW - thanks!

I was told, Right or Wrong?? that the VST system should be done every year if I go 100 hours or every 2 years if I under a 100 hours a year.

or the fuel pump can die and the mariner gets $900 for a new one! They charge $200 to do the VST serves and that also is to clean the lines and injectors and VST tank.

I will do every 2 years and hope for the best.

Do you guy remember when I could not afford a use crap motor!

I seem to recall a certain fiasco concerning a "used crap motor" that I'm sure both you and I would rather forget.
