Seafarers Love To Use Mercury 2 Cycle Oil

1030632085_20f0e0fea9I’ve always been a bit sea-obsessed. When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Finding Nemo and sharks have always been my favorite animal. Even though I have a love for interesting fish, I also enjoy the sport of fishing because I don’t think loving fish and loving fishing have to be mutually exclusive. Seafood is probably my favorite food, so I can’t really resist it.

Needless to say, my love for the sea and for fishing has led me to become an experienced boater as well. My parents have had a boat for a long time.  I learned to drive it as early as I could. I’m learning how to maintain boats and work on them as well, whether they need Mercury 2 cycle oil or another kind of tune-up.

Hoarding Bulk Outbaord Motor Oil

!B51F5DgCGk~$(KGrHqF,!jEEyd8QJlnSBMvI7QT1gw~~_35My father passed away recently and me and my siblings been trying to clean out his home, which has been a bit difficult, to say the least. Our mother had passed on years ago, and since then my father had hopped aboard the doomsday train, so to speak. In his later years, he had gotten really obsessed with the possibility of the world ending in December 2012.

Because of his obsession, he started hoarding. Almost enough to be on that reality show. He filled up his home with all kinds of stuff and even had a bunker installed for the supposed end of days. Of course, he didn’t foresee there being no end of days and us having to clean up after him. Sometimes we find useful things, however, like I found a bunch of bulk outboard motor oil stashed away in a corner.

Yamalube 2M For Mother’s Day

9632409-a-dirt-bike-rider-gets-air-during-a-stuntA lot of people learned to fish and do outdoorsy things from their fathers; my dad wasn’t around much when I was a kid, but my mom was just as outdoorsy and well-versed as any of my friends’ dads growing up. She’s the one who taught me how to fish and how to hunt and pretty much everything I ever needed to know about enjoying the great outdoors.

Although I’m grown now, my mom and I still go on camping trips together where we’ll go fishing and hunting. Sometimes we’ll even take my mom’s boat out and go out somewhere on a nice day for a fishing trip. Whenever Mother’s Day or her birthday comes around, I always know to get her something boat-related, like a bottle of Yamalube 2M.

Ringfree Plus From The Advice Of A Mechanic

Outboard-Mechanic-210x300I think that there is a lot of information to be gained from listening to mechanics, especially if you do any of the maintenance on your vehicles yourself. I have definitely learned a lot about my own vehicles just from listening to some friendly advice from the neighborhood mechanic.  I’ve learned a lot about caring for my boat by following the advice of a qualified mechanic.

I’ve always used Ringfree Plus fuel additive to my engine because I had received some advice from a boat mechanic.  He said that it will help to fight the harmful effects of today’s ethanol and could potentially help my boat last much longer. So far, I’ve never had any problems with it, so I’m guessing that it has has been working.

Optimax Oil For The Next Fishing Trip

wahoo-fishing-uaeI found a lake that’s not to far away from my house that’s just teeming with trout. The last time I went out there, my friends and I caught fifteen decent-sized trout and we’re going to go back to get more. We are hoping to get twenty to thirty trout so we can have a big cookout.  We will smoke them and have a giant fish feast.

I’ve made certain to stock up on Optimax oil so that I can do my boat’s maintenance myself before we head out for our next fishing trip. We’re going to do it soon because we want to have the cookout before summer officially hits; a spring cookout is always a nice way to bring the season to an end and allow summer to officially start.

Mercury Engine Oil Fuels Boating Experiences

012There’s really nothing better than taking your boat out on a warm day. A lot of people ask me how it is I enjoy boating considering I’m not really interested in fishing. Some of my friends are big fishermen and whenever they take their boats out, they’re usually doing it just to go fishing. Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of fishing but I love being out on the water.

Sometimes I’ll take the boat somewhere that I can swim around or I’ll just cruise around in my boat for a while. I think that you can have a lot of fun in a boat even if you aren’t going fishing. Because I like taking my boat out so often, I always make certain to keep everything ready with its maintenance, and I keep stocked up on Mercury engine oil to keep things running smoothly.

Boat Motor Oil For Your Next Dive

Two-Kids-On-Brownies-Third-Lung-Hookah-Diving-From-BoatIf you’re going scuba diving without a designated group or a guide, it certainly helps to have your own boat. Solo scuba dives are something that only people with a lot of experience should be able to do. Even then, it’s important to have people there for safety. Regardless of the company you choose to bring along with you, your gear should be in tip-top condition.

This means that not only should you get the best scuba diving gear you can, but that your boat should also be in the best condition it can be. Don’t go the cheap route with inexpensive boat motor oil; you should always make certain to use motor oil that will keep your boat running perfectly for as long as possible. This way, it won’t be something that you ever have to worry about.

Evinrude XD 100 Oil And An Early Summer

evinrudeIt appears that summer has come early this year. The sun has been shining every day and we’ve pretty much got California weather this week in Washington, which has been a nice change of pace from the cold and the fog that is more typical of mornings in May. With this beautiful weather not showing any signs of letting up, it’s about time I start making the most of it.

I’ve already started making plans with friends to hit the water this weekend. We’re going to fill the boat up with some Evinrude XD 100 oil, make sure it’s clean and fully maintained, and then I think we’re going to take it over to eastern Washington for some fishing.

Yamalube 2-M For The First Time Boating

IMG_1170I couldn’t believe it when my girlfriend told me that she’d never been on a boat before. Nobody had ever taken her fishing or out on the water. She’d never been on a cruise or even in a canoe or a kayak. She had somehow spent her whole life so far away from water that the thought had never even crossed her mind.

Naturally, I wanted to expose her to the world of boating as soon as I found this information out. I wanted to make sure that her first time was fun, memorable, and safe. That’s why I made sure to fill up with Yamalube 2-M so that everything ran smoothly for her very first time on the water.

Yamaha Oil For A Speedboat

Eliminator_Speed_boatI love to go fast! I’ve always been intrigued by high speeds’. I’m an amateur race car driver and I love flying across the water, which is why I purchased a go fast boat not too long ago. It’s really fun to take it out on the water with a friend or two and seeing just how fast we can go.

Riding in a speedboat is a lot different than driving a race car. In a race car, you’re generally going in circles in the same track, whereas the path on a speedboat can feel a lot less linear, which is interesting. I fill my boat up with Yamaha oil, to make sure that it runs as well as it was designed to, considering how much I push the limits with it.

Carrying On Family Tradition With Yamaha Oil

bootstaufeWhen I was a boy, I  went on annual fishing trips with my dad; he taught me how to fish and it became something that I still do regularly. Though we gradually went on fewer fishing trips together as I got older, it was still something I looked forward to whenever we would plan a trip. Those were very meaningful times as I look back on those trips.

I want to make sure that my son has the same fond memories of our times together as I do of my father, so I now take him for a fishing trip every year. I fill up my boat with some Yamaha oil and  we head out to a lake or a river where we fish together. I think my son enjoys it as much as I did when I was his age.
