[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 357969, member: 13702"] I hate 2 strokes for how finicky they are too - but unfortunately they give you the most bang for the least weight. My mariner is tuned well, and I use it frequently which helps, but I still disconnect the gas while it's running every time to try & avoid gas sitting in the carb as best I can. Takes a bit more choke to get it going but at least it lasts longer between rebuilds. Otherwise pony up the $$$ and buy a 4 stroke...for my small boat I can't justify either the cost or the weight. Now - if I happen to come by one for free (needing some TLC) as I did a 80# 24v Maxxum Pro trolling motor recently...all bets are off. [/QUOTE]
