    Outboard Cleaning

    I used CLR three years ago then wax it once a year. After every trip, I wipe it down with bling hot sauce. It has vinegar and wax in it. Stays almost new looking. And it's a 2013.

    Stopping a run-away boat ... my attempt failed

    Running a side channel

    Jon boat in bed of pickup

    I've carried a 12 ft jon with no problems. One thing that helps is a strap across the front attachment points (in the truck bed) and a pully in the middle of the strap. I would back up at the ramp and slide it off. Then use the pully to help pull it back on. https://youtu.be/ghrYkaBt_zA

    Not too familiar with the older mercury's, I do have an older Evinrude 5.5 hp that has a lever you flip. Having it unlocked allows it to pop up if you hit something.
