Evinrude XD 50 Motor Oil | Outboard Motor Oil - Part 7

Boat Engine Basics ~ The Ignition Part 2

Yesterday we began to discuss the basic parts of a boat engine, starting with the ignition system, in an effort to educate boat owners on the basic functions of their boat. Don’t forget that understanding the primary design and purpose of the essential parts of your boat will only help keep you out of the repair shop if something is to go wrong with the operating system of the boat.

The overview of the ignition system ended yesterday with the power stroke being called into action by a spark igniting the fuel in the cylinder. The entire process that was outlined yesterday is timed by the rotation of the cam shaft raising and lowering the intake valves. Then, turned in perfect time with the intakes valves and , the belt from the cam shaft turns the device inside the distributor. In conclusion, if any parts of the engine fail, the boat engine will run poorly or not at all.

However, you can ensure a smoother running engine with Evinrude XD 50 oil.

Spotlight on Best Boats for Freshwater Fishing ~ Part 5

Boats that deliver a midway point between luxury and sport include the inboard cruisers, which feature a sleeping cabin and plenty of deck space. These vessels are typically 30-plus feet in length and are ideal for weekend voyages, fishing expeditions and fun in the sun with friends or family.

Another great vessel for entertaining, pontoon boats provide ample space for multiple passengers and a stable and spacious platform for fishing. But if speed is all you’re after, I would invest in a jet boat, which is praised for its top speed and maneuverability. These boats are ideal for all water sports including recreational fishing. And, bringing up the opposite end of the spectrum, Jon boats are all about fishing as they lack the fancy extras and high power of models like the jet boat. Jon boats are simple and inexpensive and they feature a flat-bottom design with 1 to 3 bench seats.

All boats enjoy the rich power and luxury conditioning provided by Evinrude XD 50 oil.

Spotlight on Best Boats for Freshwater Fishing ~ Part 2

If you prefer to fish with more than two or three of your buddies, you may be interested in a bowrider boat. This marine model can comfortably hold between six and ten people, which makes it a very popular style for people who like to travel in large groups. Another boat that satisfies the need for ample deck space is the center console boat. This vessel is designed so that all of the boat controls are located in the very center of the boat to grant extra deck space for fishing and other activities.

Deck boats, hence the name, are another vessel that provide generous deck space to hold multiple people, fishermen or water-sport accessories. Dually matched with a powerful engine, these boats are great for water sports and recreational fishing.

Boats of such magnitude call for Evinrude XD 50 oil!

Top 10 Ferry Boat Rides Worldwide ~ San Francisco

Crossing the San Francisco Bay by ferry is a timeless tradition that dates back to 1850 when the ferryboats ran between San Francisco and Oakland. Since then countless ferry routes have emerged across the San Francisco Bay area. One of the most popular routes is one that parallels the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, before this mighty bridge made its debut in 1937, ferry routes flourished around this waterway.

However, the need for ferries encountered a great demise once the Golden Gate Bridge gave way to automobile travelers. It wasn’t until about 29 years later that the need for ferries returned. In its first year, just over 3.3 million vehicles crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and by 1967, the traffic had grown over 750 percent to a staggering 28.3 million. With such high numbers the bridge was reaching its saturation point and the need for ferryboats appeared once again.

The fleet of Golden Gate Ferries certainly uses powerful motor oil such as Evinrude XD 50 oil!
