I believe it's a contraction for "abated breth" 'bated breath.

For those of you waiting with baited beath (does this means worms 
hanging out of your mouth?).  I ended up buying the Nissan 6 four 
cycle.   I could not find a reasonably priced used 2 cycle long shaft. 
The Monroe Harbormaster was very accomodating ferrying me out 
to the boat and helping me remove the old engine and install the new 
one.  

The story does not yet have a happy ending ... the new Nissan 
is burning oil, having emptied it's resovoir after about 2 hours of 
running and with a thick cloud of smoke on startup.  I was told by 
the dealer that some of the engines "do that" until they are broken 
in - but I am sceptical.  Hopefully I can keep it running well 
enough to allow me to finish the season before it is serviced, but 
I still have the outboard blues.

for Stan:

Go IU, beat Purdue. ( It might happen someday)
