  1. Yamaha has a hydrogen outboard prototype https://newatlas.com/marine/yamahas-hydrogen-outboard-boat-prototype/
  2. I theory, the pressure on the ice will be equal to the tire pressure. Rigidy of the tire itself along with snow cover on the ice will through the calculation off somewhat.
  3. Of all the things to worry about on a trip to Northern Ontario, I never thought that a one armed baboon would be one of them. https://globalnews.ca/news/10167511/woman-attacked-escaped-baboon-ontario/
  4. Did they have kill switches in the late 70s? And if they did would it affect the starter motor?
  5. Real estate is a little too pricey for factories in downtown Toronto.
  6. Thanks, I think I can rule out the fuel line in this case. My kicker can run on either an internal or an external tank. I have issue regardless of which I choose. I haven't had a chance to clean the carb yet. I did add Seafoam, but I think that's more of a long term solution than a quick fix.
  7. Floating Time Hortons drive through on Scugog this weekend. https://cottagelife.com/general/tim-hortons-opening-a-boat-thru-this-weekend-on-lake-scugog-ont/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ&fbclid=IwAR1_aOFzPXtgcns8bsijxBhn6PtJpb32Tlzef6AV6Ksqbw9IVmc3W-i_jqE
  8. My kicker motor (5hp Mercury branded Tohatsu four stroke) starts but stalls shortly after. Usually, it will not continue running after I push the choke button back in. Once I was able to get it to run for several minutes. I had twisted the tiller grip to wide open trottle and pushed the choke almost all the way in. I am not sure what that does in terms of throttle plate position. It ran for several minutes with the RPMs continually increasing and decreasing. If I prime the bulb, I see fuel dripping out of a drain line. I assume that this is from an overflow port in the carburator. I tried replacing the spark plug. I had had similar issues in the past and was told that that was the solution. Does anyone have any other ideas on the cause? Fuel filter? Thanks in advance.

  10. I think that's the proper pronunciation. Listen to their commercials.
  11. This will ruin your day... https://www.powernationtv.com/post/this-guy-doesnt-realize-his-boat-hes-towing-is-on-fire
  12. I have read that ethanol is now mandatory for all gasoline. There may be an exception for marine fuels, but even if that's true, I am not the refineries would bother for such a small market. I have also read that there are additives that can alleviate some of the problems with ethanol fuels.
  13. I am surprised that the record isn't longer too. Aren't there places in Ontario with a 54" minimum limit? Perhaps there have been longer ones caught that just weren't officially entered.
  14. He held a contest once. I won a custom painted lure. It has caught fish. 😀
