Ahhhh, Patrick...always ready with expert advice regardless of what the subject at hand might be...catching giant bluefins from the shore, new & exotic bait rigs lifted from outdoor magazines (the dreaded Dog Run caper), Cabin Cruiser's 'r Us, Gum Boots in the Surf and now, The Low-Rent approach to Outboard Motor Repair. We are, indeed, twice blessed.
Yes Patrick, I do happen to possess a torque wrench, as well as the good sense to ignore whatever empty-headed pronouncements issue from your itchy-on-the-keyboard fingers.
I also possess sufficient sense not to put myself or my passengers in danger by pretending that I have sufficient expertise to tinker with something that I know little about, a quality, I might add, that seems to be sadly lacking in you.
You find outboard motor repair a simple matter for one who owns a few hex wrenchs, screw drivers and perhaps a torque wrench? Fine, I advise you to hurry to your nearest boatyard and inform the owner that he can obtain your services for a modest hourly fee. Let him know that you are capable of diagnosing an engine problem merely by asking whether it made a sound that goes flickety-flook-frap-freep or, perhaps, brap-broop-badda-bing-kafooey-snort.
Also, be sure to let him know that you will have lots more spare time for outboard repair now that the folks at Noreast.com have punched your ticket over there, thereby reducing the number of fishing forums willing to allow you to post your nonsense to this one. Whither goest, Patrick, when the lights go out here? You might give that some thought.
So live long & prosper, Patrick (as the pointy-eared one would say), but if it's not too much to ask...GROW UP.
Make it so. Jean Luc P. has high hopes for you. As do I....
