too funny. here is my confession- the day i brought the boat home i tried to start her up and get a feel for the engine- turned the key over and over and it wouldnt fire- it turned out that i had done what Toonoc suggested - the emergency kill switch was disengaged.. so no spark- flooded the engine, fouled the plugs.. once i figured out what i had did, all i had to do was pull the plugs and hit them with a torch to clean off the oil.
live and learn.
I'll save the story of my first solo trip to the boat ramp for some comic releif this winter
