Re: [OMC-Boats] fluids

Gentlemen, I agree completely. Those manuals are printed for a reason, for us to gain more knowledge about what the hell were doing. I personally just haven't went and ordered a set yet. I assure you that problem will be rectified shortly on my end, and yes they will  be read. I've seen quite a few of the rather odd questions on here that I could answer easily with my limited knowledge on these boats.   ________________________________ From: Lee Shuster <lee.k.shuster@...> To: Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's <omc-boats@...> Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 11:00:46 AM Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] fluids But the IM's (ignorant masses) never, ever RTFM (actually READ their fantanstic manuals).  'Cause they are the LCD's  (lowest common denominators). sorry, couldn't resist.     thanks, Bill and Scott for backing me up on this point ________________________________ From: omc-boats-bounces@...
