Good tip on the oil container, Sandra.

We all have our learning experiences.  I had a big one last Saturday when I
launched my Tartan 26 and tried to power it with my Honda 5 hp outboard on a
make-shift motor mount that pretty effectively blocked access to the motor
controls.  In a very light breeze, I *almost* couldn't back the boat up (in
a crowded and July-Forth-busy marina) with the throttle limit on the motor.
And that was just the start of the misadventures.  Fortunately, didn't hit
any boats or anything; only pride was damaged, not counting the big bruises
on my arm and half-dozen or so scrapes obtained in attempts to reach the
motor before the boat reached something solid in it's path!
