    $200 2 Stroke Outboard

    I get it from the garden mower shop where my mower is serviced. Look for Aspen 4 and Aspen 2. The 4 stroke petrol goes in my mower and the 2 stroke in hedge trimmer and chainsaw.

    Fender Knots?

    I use a slipped clove hitch with the tail dropped through the bight for security; easy to adjust for height and quick to release. Once safely moored I may change to a round turn and two half hitches - depends.

    Thank you all for your helpful advice. I only wish I had asked here before relying on Jabsco, who advised via a YouTube video that I needed to replace the top gasket. In fact all it needed was some vaseline smeared on the piston O-ring and now works a treat. I'll follow the other advice found...

    Jabsco toilet not flushing

    Thank you all for your help. Yes, I have already removed the top of the pump, replaced the top valve gasket and spring but still no flush water even after pumping the handle slowly 60 times. I'll probably go to the boat for this afternoon's tide and try vaseline on the piston - it did sound a...
