If you want your outboard to run, don’t do this!
Whether you run a massive Seven Marine outboard that cost as much as a Cadillac or a little 9.9 horsepower tiller-steer your brother-in-law sold you for a few hundred bucks, we can all agree on one thing: we want our outboards to run.
If you expect that eggbeater to keep on beating for years to come, be sure not to do any of these really, really stupid things that can kill an outboard.
