My 78 year old Bride helped me get my new boat into the water. I am the world's worst at backing a trailer, so a chore.
About 3 minutes after I headed to my dock, the motor quit. I was stranded in the middle of Lake Hartwell. Not really as I had nailed on my old 36v trolling motor that will pull hard all day. I don't really need a gas motor.
I am not a mechanic. New on this boat was a thing in the fuel line (some kind of environmental thing?) I replaced all that with an old timey fuel line, and the motor now purrs so quietly you don't notice it.
