Hey I want to thank everyone for welcoming me to the family. Question, what is the best cover. Deans or the Aurora – What is the main differences Thanks Bill

[billfish]

Thanks

[billfish]

Okay I will try and see

[billfish]

Thanks for the advice. I got er done this weekend and the LED lights look great!

[billfish]

Okay thanks

Hey I did not overturn it – it was frozen. Thanks Phil for the advice. Will do. I noticed there are screws with square pits for a tool to go in and turn to remove the handle. Does the part ship with a special wrench to remove these. I thought at first an allen wrench might work but they are square not hex.

I found the article interesting with regard to the octane issue. I was not aware that running a higher octane could be harmful. I usually use Exxon because they do not add ethanol so it is pure gas. It costs a few more cents but even for cars it is better because pure gas results in better gas mileage. I will check the specs and use only that octane in the future.

Does ethanol affect horsepower or fuel-efficiency? Ethanol has a heating value of 76,000 BTU per gallon, which is approximately 30 percent less than gasolines heating value (which is approximately 109,000 to 119,000 BTU/gal). The result is E-10 gasoline which should yield slightly lower mileage – a decrease of approximately 3 percent. Fuels containing higher levels of ethanol will have a corresponding reduction in mileage. For example, E85 fuels produce mileage approximately 30 percent less than gasoline. The octane rating of pure ethanol (200 proof) is about 100 and is therefore useful in elevating the octane value of gasoline. In E-10 blends the presence of ethanol provides about 2.5 to 3 percent of the overall octane rating. The effect on engine horsepower is determined by the octane result of the blended fuel. Care should be taken to select fuels having the octane rating recommended for the engine as indicated in the owners manual for proper operation. Saw this on Mecury site so now I wonder if the blended fuel octane is the same as the octane recommendation in the manual? Bueller? Any one? Any one?

Should I add an additional fine-micron filter to the system to prevent debris from entering the engine? The addition of another filter to the system will create another possible flow restriction that can starve the engine of fuel. Mercury already provides the appropriate level of filtration to protect the engine from debris. Mecury does not recommend the fuel filter that the author suggests as added protection

GOOD JOB!

I had some bass in a tournament in the livewell without the usually ice and rejuvinate and I was surprised how energized those guys were at the end of the day with only the recirc and areration on. It wasnt real hot but still they were the most lively fish at the weigh in!!

Prayers sent to all the soldiers and their families there. My son is at Ft. Benning so I do feel a connection with the Army – he was training on Bradleys at Ft Hood last summer! God Bless you guys there at Ft Hood!
