Why does my 2002 yamaha 225 ox66 outboard use alot of oil.(3 gal oil to 75 gal fuel)

tracy — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 13:50:12 GMT

3 gal of oil to 75 gal of gas is a 25 to 1 ratio. What does your owners manual say? If the motor runs OK then this is not that far out.

No Susan, you need to get a 17/8 ball. Just take off the 2 " and put on the 17/8 ". There is nut under the hitch ball which you must unscrew.

Is it time to change our Gun Control regulations?

QOTD — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 07:27:19 GMT

NO!!!! Chicago has the most stringent gun laws in the country and one of the highest murder rates. Why is this the first thing people think of? Why not hold the Doctor he saw accountable since he did not institutionalize him.

What type of hair styles can you do when you are on a cruise ship?

Melissa T. — Sun, 13 May 2012 19:27:16 GMT

The "wench" do is very popular. As well as the "hag" do but the favorite is the "filthy wench hag pirate do".

Not sure what you meant but a fun and carefree hairstyle would be my preference but you can have the salon do whatever you like.

How to set trim tab on 50hp mercury outboard

ksr — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 01:21:15 GMT

There is no trim tab on an outboard. What you probably mean is the rudder. If the boat is pulling to the right, adjust the rudder to the left and vice versa.

How much is a 45 foot cruiser yacht boat?

peg — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:55:40 GMT

Yacht boat is superfluous. A 45 foot power boat is called a boat and a 45 foot sail boat is called a yacht.

By "how much" I assume you mean how many dollars to buy. It will range from "please just get it out of my sight" to $2,000,000.00 plus. Good luck.
