There's lots of info on how to change it to a 30hp,either Merc or Tohatsu forums. From what I've read,a gasket swap($10) and possibly a timing advance to 25 degrees but some 25hp's are already set to that. People in the states,running small flats boats love these engines due to there low weight and hp ratio...they have a hard time getting them though.

Lobster are shipped all over the world,trucks,planes,boats,etc. They are hardly ever shipped in water,,,just like a live well in your boat,it would need aeration...expensive and just not needed. Keep them cool(fridge temp) don't freeze them and moist...seaweed/rockweed is good so is newspaper soaked in salt water. When there shipped on planes they go in cardboard boxes,trucks they are just in 120 lbs crates. Look for some good hard shelled ones,with all there legs and claws because they can bleed out. Even if you get home and there is few dead(within 24 hrs),as long as they were keep cool,they're safe to cook and I bet you can't taste the difference. I think aplumma's method would work well.

Just times by 20,when using liters.

This place will give you some ideas. http://www.tinboats.net/

Have you tries this site? http://www.novascotiafishing.com/forums/ That time of year smallmouth would be your easiest catch but trout can still be found. Southwestern N.S.- alot of smallmouth and chain pickerel few trout that time of year(freshwater);can be stripers,bluefish,mackerel if you hit the time right. Mersey river has smallies now,was only trout salmon...shame someone put them there. Towards Cape Breton mostly trout,salmon althouth some stuipd person put chain pickerel and smallies on the island;not good for our trout and salmon. Like I said,that site people will put you on fish may even take you in a boat if you want. Time of year is everything for alot of saltwater species.

Have you ever had another person with you,sqeezing the primer ball as you opened it up? Sure does sound fuel related.
