mechanic had me pull the check valve from inside the fuel pump (since I didn't feel like waiting for him) .. the check was bad so I changed it ... didn't solve the problem but now I can hear the fuel pump sucking air through one of the lines that has a very small crack that evidently opens only when in gear. I can hear it but haven't isolated it yet. Work in progress.

Thoughts .. yam 300 outboard will run normally off the trailer until idle off the step. Will idle normally for a few minutes but will not give more than 1600 rpm after... stop engine for a few minutes.. will run normally until idle again then repeat 1600 rpm. Ran back to the dock for about 30 min with engine slowly losing rpm ... down to 1000.
Both fuel pumps checked out. All filters were changed and fuel is clean. Still same result.

It will last as long as you follow the maintenance schedule in owner's manual. Don't toss it ... read it and follow it religiously.

Should only have to change the plastic prime bulb at or around year 4. Then when you're buying the bulb, buy a new head for it since your string prob won't be coming out as good as it used to bc the plastic sprocket teeth are getting worn.

Those engines do not tolerate bad gas (water or trash) which is 99% of all problems.

Happy trimming :cheers:

use some of your beans and get a new one is by far the best answer you'll get today

That’s my point, thatvsurvey is recognized by the state, they don’t just get to take the property once marsh erodes to water. They are bound to the navigable routes back then not today’s landscape.



The biggest problem is the general public's misconception of navigability; especially naturally navigable. The State has the right to claim eroded property along naturally navigable water bodies (i.e. 1812). The State does not have the right to claim eroded property along navigable waterways that were made navigable through human intervention with private funds on private property.

I put them in just before Easter. Normal looking growth about 3 feet tall loaded with flowers and one eggplant. The surrounding eggplants are different species and producing nicely. I pulled it and discarded. The base seemed to have a slimy substance but I had just watered so it may be the water. My tomato and peppers etc seem to be worm and pest free and are looking good.

Had as many as 16 but the tomatoes get too crowded and blight gets to all. 12 works for me with a good spacing.

Need some insight. Have a square foot garden with about a dozen plants. One plant in the middle overnight withered up. It's a black beauty eggplant with flowers and one budding fruit. Around it I have tomato, peppers, other eggplant. All other plants look great and are producing. This one out of the blue overnight withered. Thoughts?

Should be close to weaning. This is the time of year when the young dogs start to roam a little farther and aren't has weary of the danger and easier to take out bc they give you that extra couple of seconds.
Truck stop on 308 in Larose just before Intracoastal.
before you put it back together, dab a little vaseline on the gears and work it in.

wet ride is the only negative for me
Puma Concolor Coryi .... yes I googled it
If you can self insure for named storms as long as you elevate above a storm surge you'll be just fine. Well built structures can withstand more wind than one may think (tornado excluded) but no home can withstand a storm surge. Get above the surge. Run of the mill homeowners is inexpensive. The hurricane coverage and flood is totally outrageous.
flush it with a saline solution or warm water and apply some anti bac oinment. just left a vet for an open wound that was draining and that's what he told me. As long as it's draining should be fine. just watch that it doesn't abscess around the wound.

my dog's wound was a nasty cat claw puncture on the neck that started to abscess. shaved the area around it and flushed it out. draining nicely now. good luck

Totally agree. Lose the top and minimum 150 on back end.
Add a little more to the budget to get more hp on the back.
