Okay, here's a question from a novice salt water sailer. I live near the SF
Bay. We are going to try and sail there this weekend if the weather holds. I
went once out of Richmond and didn't pump out the motor until i got home (a two
hour drive). Is that acceptable? Is there usually a place at marinas to pump
the salt water out your motor? I can bring a 5 gallon bucket to fill with fresh
water... is that SOP? My 4-stroke Nissan (remember, the one with the gummed up
carb?) does not take those muffs that my old outboard did. The only thing i can
tell is that you need to put a bucket of water up into the prop area and run
the motor til the fresh water extracts the salt. Educate me!
