running


Jim, my mechanical friend who does the winter maintenance on my Honda 2.3 hp 4-stroke outboard, texted me this morning that it is ready to go.  In fact he included visuals, a video and two stills, to make his point.


A former submariner, Jim is meticulous to say the least.  Meticulous is good on submarines, and good for outboards too.  He tells me has been known to line up all the heads on slotted screws so they go in the same direction.  He didn't need to do that here, but new oil, lower unit fluid, spark plug plus the carburetor checked out, I ought to be ready to go.
