How Do You Clean Your Tackle

[tenzing]

Funny the know-it-all who was "teaching" me to take care of the boat said spray the engine with Inox often.

Glad I read the Merc book - NO lube spray anywhere near the belts or you'll damage the engine.

Gotta hate people who think they know everything - would have cost me thousands.

ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Cheers,

Tim

Tim ,
I was taught the same thing.
Alan Downes told me last time I had a service that the INOX tended to be absorbed by the insulayion around the wires making them swell.
He said that you can even give the motor a light speay with freh water if it is salty , but to be very sparing with INOX.
I havent been game to stick the hose under the cover but.
Brendan.
I do get through a heap of INOX on the wheels and brakes , and the reels get a bit too.
