Winds about 5-7mph and river temp was about 40F. I only saw two in the marina squaring away a main sail while in their slip - They did not go out. Only 2 motor boats out on the water and a few helicopters taking off and landing at Quantico Marine Base. One of those nice days to just go out for a couple of hours. By the way, outboard started on the 2nd try, then conked out but restarted after that and ran fine. During winter months, if I do not go out sailing, I usually get down there every 2-3 weeks to run the outboard for perhaps....10 minutes or so. That seems to keep it running okay until Springtime. Had this Honda 9.9 since January 2006 - Only had some hiccups about 5 years ago when I had the carburetor replaced/overhauled but still had issues until it was then ultrasonically cleaned. Fine since then. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature. Check here to subscribe to this topic.
