If you’re at all concerned, you might want to join BoatUS, and include towing in your membership. When mine was giving me overheating trouble, it saved me quite a bit of money getting a few tows.

100% agree. Get it with the trailer option. $145 a year and well worth it. ONE tow can equal several hundred dollars, so it's cheap insurance.

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.

yeah, i've looked into this. i believe seatow has more coverage in my boating area. my dad had boat us years ago and he used them a few times per year. can't buy better insurance. it's high on my list.
i'm gonna put it in a tub this weekend and see what happens. i think/hope it was just a question of a hose that couldn't provide the needed flow. i'll keep you guys posted. also, gonna clean/rebuild the carb on the kicker and hopefully get it running as well.
