Re: Question about running motor out of water
Please, do not run your engine for even a few seconds without water to lubricate the rubber impeller in your outdrive. It will burn up or break some of the wipers off causing you grief, money and lost time on the pond.
If there is no water at the storage facility for you to use you can bring your own. Use your winterizing bucket, short length of hose and muffs with about 5 - 10 gallons of water. When the water level gets to the bottom of the bucket shut er down. Hope this helps. |

Thanks ruining a rubber part was something I did not think about. I will just have to pick it up and run home and start it before going out.

If your boat is good shape electrically wise and good battery it should be able to sit for weeks with no problems. If needed install battery cut off switch and then you know you will always have good full battery.

But the batteries sitting unused will naturally discharge over time. It might seem prudent to invest in a marine battery trickle charger/tender. The difference between a car charger and a marine charger is that the marine charger runs through three distinct phases. They are the Bulk phase, the Acceptance phase, and the Float phase. This is known as the Ideal Charge Curve and is recommended by most marine battery manufacturers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
