    Pros/cons between Yamaha, Mercury, and Evinrude 2-strokes?

    That's part of the problem-nothing local. Seems Evinrude and Johnson dealers were all over but Tohatsu I have none around me. I ordered it online knowing that I would be working on it myself but did'nt think parts would be hard to find.

    Best shade system?

    Them little umbrellas do work great for my black lab to get a bit of shade. I keep it down low so she can get under it otherwise it catches to much wind.

    Pros/cons between Yamaha, Mercury, and Evinrude 2-strokes?

    I prefer the Johnson and Evinrudes as parts are easy to find, Mercury not so much. I have a 2018 Tahatsu 20hp and was thinking I should consider a new waterpump impeller. None to be found . I restore old Johnsons and Evinrudes and have no problem with parts dating back to the 50s.

    1957 Johnson 10hp back from the dead

    Nice! I have a 57 Evinrude that purrs along but changed lower unit to a 1958 Evinrude lower. I might have to try and rebuild the 57s as it was jumping out of gear and I had the other laying around.

    Trailer Light Dilemma

    I have had this problem with a few trailers. Usually the tilt bed ones. I find it best to just go ahead and run a ground wire to both trailer lights.
