I rotate my flooded house and start batteries every 3 years with new ones. What would I do with a lithium battery

Thanks, I don't believe that I will not be needed it in fresh water. I can see where it might get you a couple of RPMS, but won't it increase slippage because of less friction?

What is it?

Sounds like you are going to do a lot of personalizing, good luck and enjoy the ride.(y) What is Speed Prop?

Great! Glad you found what you were looking for. And thanks for sharing, it just might help someone else.

There are no perfect answers, there are pros and cons for both. And with batteries comes a warning label not to put it in an enclosed building. It is all about what you are willing to deal with on a personal level. Not to mention , what all 3 do to our environment in one way or another, in...

I talked with Star brite today and they said that this will protect you from the effects of ethanal. I have been using this since the beginning of time with every fill-up, 1900+ hrs. with no issues pertaining to fuel. Not sure if it works, or if just lucky.

Regan added that the agency will consider issuing a temporary emergency waiver to allow sales of E15 this summer. The EPA in March proposed a rule that would allow year-round sales of E15, fuel containing 15% ethanol, in the Midwestern states beginning in 2024.Apr 19, 2023

Don't they know what it is doing to your engines and hoses., along with all other types of engines. And not to mention the cost of Ethanol free gas, it is far from being free. Pay the price, or take your chances.

And a beautiful lake it is! Boating at it's best! I have experienced that feeling, hence my girls name. (Serenity) It's hard to beat spending the night on the hook, and you are the only one out there. Sunset, all the traffic leaves and the water turns to glass, then the all the stars come out...

Everything I find is to add antifreeze. If you just want to drain the water out, call a Merc dealer and they can tell you which hoses and plugs to open up. It may also be in your owners manual. Good Luck. Please let us know how you make out, it may help out someone else.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your new love affair. She is out of my wheel house, sorry I can not help.

My engine is a 1985 350/260 Mercruiser. I read where it said something about draining the 4 petcocks and taking off hoses and pouring antifreeze down them do to the blockage from the thermostat. I researched different ways that other people and this one Merc marina did it, and designed and built...

I see she she is good to go, she already has her fur coat on.:)

It looks like where you are going to use it, just like how you are going to clean things with other cleaners. Research it and test it first. DIY Cleaning Products: Vinegar's Surprising Drawbacks Vinegar doesn't sanitize or disinfect. ... You have to be careful about concentrations. ... Always...

That'll work.(y)

I think that vinegar is the go to cleaner for just about everything.

Hey, as long as it works and gets the job done. Besides doing it yourself is cheaper, and you know that it is done right. Me., I open and drain the 4 petcocks, which from what I have read leaves me about 4 gallon left in the engine. So then I put 4 gallons of 100F blue antifreeze in a 55gal drum...

Thanks, did some reading on it. It lists some of the ingredients and vinegar is not one of them, and says it has a secret ingredient. One guy said it will not stop scum lines from coming back. And the guy in this video says it has a strong vinegar smell.:unsure:

Today my girl got her oil drained, and pumped full of antifreeze, along with her layup bath, which did not turn out the way that it normally does. I had no vinegar. With the day getting shorter, I did not have the time to get some, so I did it without. No sparkle, no shine, just a light haze...
