[Rhodes22-list] Re: [rhodes-list] Motoring Info

[Michael Meltzer]

IIRC correctly durring break in you do want to goto full thotal from time to
time so the rings seat correctly, the "plastic" peice just happens to match
the "kill switch" should be able to find one at any marine store.
As for the oil half of me do not bother :-) the other half say bring the
boat in ass end first and "chacht it" with a large open contanier. But buy a
spare drin plug first :-)
