[QUOTE="po1, post: 183430, member: 1978"] With that smoking, it sounds like the last owner might have fogged the engine and it's common for it to smoke like that for the first time. You might want to steer away from starting the engine out of water, even 5 seconds is not good for the impeller. And zerofivenismo is right on, it's great to have another source of power without using up the battery. I was always happy to have the family's 5.5 johnson to push the boat. I found alot of good fishing spots that I might've missed with a faster boat. [/QUOTE]
