[Rhodes22-list] True Confessions

Lloyd,

Thanks.

Yeah, the length thing sucks, but what's a guy gonna do??? They all charge
what they charge, right??? Some higher, some lower.

I'm not dead certain, but I think the Disp. on the outboard version is
listed at 5500. seems like the inboard version is listed at 6000. I doubt
that includes the weight of the motor. That 3.7 gallon tank is a Yamaha
tank. The motor is a 4 stroke.

I have no clue why the motor is mounted to starboard. Maybe it just felt
better that way to the previous owner???

A West Marine air dryer is a lot like a solar vent, but it looks to me like
it runs off the 12 volt house system.

Rik
