And so you shall. Last year, huh? Unless the carb(s) was(were) drained, and/or Stabil was used in the fuel, you could be fighting with it. Best to do in the driveway, especially if you have to perform surgery. There's nothing less fun than messing with an OB at the dock, or worse, while you're bobbing around in the open. Just ask Highlander (sorry, John - I just had to say it
).
And on that subject, before you go out, make sure you have all required safety gear (pfd for each soul on board, a throwable pfd, noise making device, and so on - check USCG regs and the zillions of online sources), plus optional but IMO necessary safety gear such as a marine VHF radio that works (handheld is better than nothing, and I always keep one as backup to the main radio). An anchor with enough rode to get adequate scope to actually hold, in case you get into trouble (like an engine that won't start, for instance
) and that is suitable for the typical bottom on your area (common Danforth fluke style, like what's hanging off your trailer coupler in the pic) is useless in weeds, for instance, but effective in sand. That sort of thing.
The time to think about all that is
before you need it, as by then, you could be in real trouble. Not to scare you, but wind and water can be unforgiving, and getting blown into a lee shore with rocks when the wind comes up unexpectedly and you're struggling with sails or outboard can ruin your day, to say the least.
Just a little more than double what I was giving him for it.
