captin slows old outlaw

Hi Pete, it’s a crew cab. So two rows of seats for up to 5 passengers. Then a bull head and a large boot area. We will use it as a weekend van along side a drive away awning. Probably only a couple of times a year though. With the bulkhead removed a blow up mattress can be put in the back to sleep on when we do our drive to the Czech Republic annually.

My seagull was probably the most unreliable outboard I ever owned and the first. I think its these early engines that have embed the fear of breakdowns into many of us where in reality modern engines are extremely reliable. Just like an old two stroke lawn mower with heavy oil ratios, the seagull was the same, constantly oiling up the plug if I trolled lures for a while. Hard to start both hot or cold to the point when I did start the dam thing I wouldn't stop it again until I got home, which meant re-fueling it while it was running out at sea around the Needles area!!!!
Out of interest how long do most run their engines for on an average trip, for me it would be the entire trip most of the time, yesterday being around 7hrs. Petrol or Diesel engines started and run short distances to fishing grounds would barely be getting warmed up.

at larst i have managed to find a choke soleniod for the outboard. the info was  stearing me in the face. it makes you feal a right beerk
when you realise it was there all the time

Anderson plugs are ideal for that Pete, gives you the option to boost as well without going near the batteries

Of course, I reserve the right to uninvite you nearer the time.

So given that a vaccine seems to be more likely by next summer, this thread is worth a bump. Who's up for a Solent boat meet?

yes i agrea that just plug in the computer ect but regarding seagulls there is not a lote to go rong. if it has points its a pain. the maneto syteam is so simple, my seagull normaly will start on 2nd pull .

and to top it off thay are the administrators

Rather than carry on on another thread where some people seem a little touchy when you simply point out honest facts, I thought Id start a new one in the hope it may help anyone buying into their first boat outfit.
This is trying to be helpful for anyone buying old rigs with low hours. I bought a boat with a 10 year old Honda and 250 hrs which had supposedly been flushed after every use but was totally rooted from the inside out. My current 2013 Suzuki 140 which has 300hrs is pretty much the same but I don't have the cash to replace on this one yet. A 90 mercury with less than 200hrs was again another engine I had to replace after buying what looked like a well looked after rig, so three low hour boats in 6 years have cost me a fair amount. 
According to the mechanics who've repaired or replaced mine, they claim a two year old engine with 2000 hrs is likely to be better than an engine 10 years old with 200 hrs. Engines which are run everyday or every few days don't get time for salt to dry inside the cooling and exhaust system unlike those which sit on trailers or moorings for weeks without use. This is something you soon see when boats start getting a few years on them in comparison with commercial rigs that run most days. Also the fact that recreational vessels tend to do short runs where they barely warm up before being switched off to sit at anchor and cool down again, hence the low hours. 
Many of the boats I drive commercially are running all day without freshwater flushing and don't give us any problems other than routine services. 
The saltwater environment is not like leaving a car in a garage for years, there are no anodes eating away inside the power head or thermostats building up salt etc. 
Its not just the engine either, a boat with a few years on it needs to be carefully inspected for water intrusion which may of gotten into areas it shouldn't. Waterlogged underfloor foam and rotten timbers in transoms is far more common than people might realise. Ive had a few rotten boats both here and the UK, more in the UK as they were boats that had been kept on moorings and the fact its a wet climate.
Just saying buyer beware, a boat hit with a decent polisher to sell can look like new but also covering a heap of underlying issues.
