Saving the Merc two stroke - 2012

Standing up in the storage area.

 It is hard to let go of the Mercury two stroke 4 hp motor. It has forward and reverse and neutral on the side. It runs great and uses little gas. It has an internal gas tank, so it is self-sufficient.

October 2012 - Currently at Marina Kona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA

As I was putting in the boat, we got an offer to buy it. Yes, the Honda 9.9 outboard is a great motor but just in case of who knows what we are keeping the Merc, that is if it stores on the boat. It did just that in our long-term storage under the bed and there is lots of room left for other gear.

 Note

 We eventually sold it as it was taking up room and adding un-needed weight to out boat. Our Honda 9.9 outboard has always run just fine.

Picked up some rubber mats for the motor to sit on. Also put a piece of marine plywood at the bottom by the prop for the motor to rest on. This way it does not touch the hull. We will be adding lots of gear in here so it will not be moving around.

So, times I wonder if I am a hoarder, we could just sell it?
