My Johnson is about to expire

[ForrestGump]

Guess I forgot to fill the tanks with gas before I left the dock.

[Duncan Grant]

1. Well Forrest, you could always stroke.

[ForrestGump]

2. 'ey! Are you calling me an oar, mate?

And, yes, my Johnson's a four-stroke. We don't want that two-stroke fooling around.

Props to you!

[Deja Q]

4. Well, now we know who has the biggest propeller!

:D

Wanna go out for coffee? :evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

10. It's not the size, but the horsepower

(definitely no reference to that recent Catherine the Great thread intended)

[DS1]

5. That's a fancy screw, but it's missing some nuts

[ForrestGump]

13. Oh, rowlocks! I mean...bollards!

Wait, that's not right...

[DS1]

17. row is me

[ForrestGump]

19. You're opting for row? I guess there're really only two choices when

it coes down to it: row versus wade.

[Tony Clifton]

21. Hey pal, it's a sink or swim world

[ForrestGump]

23. Here, let me give you a paddle, then

:spank:

[Tony Clifton]

24. How about one we can both enjoy?

[jmowreader]

6. What are you pushing with that Johnson?

Four-stroke outboards are great, aren't they? No mixing oil with fuel, no making sure the damn VRO tank is full, no blue haze...what's not to like?

[ForrestGump]

14. Much nicer!

And, in response to your question...a gentleman wouldn't tell. Neither would I. :P

[supernova]

3. They come with expiration dates

now?

I gotta update my things to know on a date file. :think:

[ForrestGump]

15. Some have a longer life than others

And you can always rebore them if you really have to. Corrosion's always a problem, especially when they're used primarily in extremely humid, salty condiitons.

It's easy to run the lower part aground, too: never a fun experience.

[SarahB]

7. I'm sure it can easily be recharged if you wish.

:think:

[ForrestGump]

16. Yep, though it's still no fun to run out of juice

Sometimes it's hard to tell, for sure, how much you need to pump.

[SarahB]

26. I'm sure the juice is in there

Perhaps it's just been left empty for too long and it's feeling drained? :shrug: Somehow it still needs a recharging. Besides, we all need a good pump every once in awhile.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

8. Well if you would keep in the water and off the wet land at the bottom

that would help it's lifespan a lot.

[ForrestGump]

18. That's true

Definitely bad form to plow into the bottom unannounced.

[ForrestGump]

9. UPDATE: I keep pulling and pulling, but it won't get going!

Oh. Well that explains it. It's electric start.

[Endangered Specie]

11. Try some lubricant

:) ;)

[ForrestGump]

20. Ohhh. That's better.

Any suggestions for my outboard, though? :o

[Endangered Specie]

25. Chop it off and get a new one...

A "Bobbit" maneuver

[supernova]

12. Perhaps a little lube

[ForrestGump]

22. Wince-worthy! You're obviously a land-luber

:P

[VOX]

27. Don't put a drag on your Johnson, it'll burn out. Let it cool down...

before you take it out again. In the water! :evilgrin:

:toast:
