Isolated Boating Thanks to Evinrude XD 100 Oil

r1069140_12600614Like a lot of my friends, I like to spend a decent amount of time at concerts and music festivals because there’s a certain type of camaraderie that can be developed with strangers when you’re in a crowd together sharing an experience regarding musical artists that you like. However, I like to take breaks from these instances every now and then because too many crowds can be overwhelming.

When I start to feel that way, I usually prefer to just hang out with a few close friends and go somewhere isolated. Sometimes we go camping, but if the weather’s right, our favorite thing to do is to go boating together. I usually load my boat up with Evinrude XD 100 oil and then we’ll find a lake or a river somewhere and boat around for a while.

Learning More about Outboard Oil

934152_553950914648523_1680645070_nA friend of mine recently bought his first boat and he’s been telling me a lot of information about boating and boat maintenance because I’ve been considering buying one of my own. The more he tells me, however, the more it feels like I’m completely clueless when it comes to the intricacies of boating. There’s a lot of common boat knowledge I simply didn’t know.

For instance, I didn’t know that oil was processed differently in certain boats. I initially assumed it was like a car where you would take it in for oil changes, but in actuality, with my friend’s boat, you mix the outboard oil with the fuel when you are putting it into the boat. He’s told me a lot of things about fuel additives and other stuff that I had no idea about as well.

Snowmobile Oil for a Winter Lover

symNivopage77_7I loathe hot weather; I have always been the only one of my friends who complains his way all the way through the summer. I get sunburned too easily, I sweat a lot, and I just get overheated very quickly. Even as a kid who would get time off from school, I tended to dread summer vacation because I knew all of my friends would want to spend time out in the blistering heat.

Winter has always been more my style and there’s so many things I love to do in the winter. I love skiing and snowboarding and I’m always stocking up on snowmobile oil so that I can go snowmobiling at the first sign of snow. Cold weather is something I’m much more accustomed to because I enjoy wearing layers and trudging around in the snow.

Two Cycle Oil and Underwater Photography

Underwater-underwater-photography-32684062-1600-1200I’m very interested in underwater photography and taking photographs of the wildlife in nearby lakes, rivers, and oceans. I’ve invested a lot of time and effort in this hobby because taking pictures of sea life is something I’ve loved since I was young and I got my first waterproof disposable camera. Technology is much more advanced these days, of course.

What I usually do – when I’ve got free time and it’s a nice, clear day outside – is get my gear ready and my boat filled up with two cycle oil and go out to find a secluded place to dive and take photos. I’ve gotten some really interesting photos of certain animals that I’m really proud of, particularly one that I took of an eel poking its head out from the rocks.

A Friend Recommended Optimax Oil

3742158_20111014110430_10_LARGEI’m the second among my group of friends to get a boat, so I luckily have one person to help guide me towards the things I’ve needed to consider regarding my boat. For instance, my friend had actually purchased one boat that hadn’t run very well at all and was able to steer me away from looking at that particular brand of boat.

Similarly, my friend has been able to give me some tips about oil and maintenance that I wouldn’t know without his guidance. He recommended that I stick to using one type of oil on my boat for the sake of consistency, and based on the kind of boat that I have, he recommended that I use Optimax oil in particular. It’s been very helpful having someone who knows what they’re talking about around.

Bulk Outboard Motor Oil to Stay Prepared

the-luxury-yacht-comes-with-lots-of-toys-including-a-23-foot-motor-boat-two-jet-skis-and-scuba-equipmentI’ve always been the kind of person who overprepares for things, because I think it’s a lot better to be overprepared than to be underprepared. I always keep stocked up on supplies for whatever activity I might be interested in. Sometimes that means having a lot of extra camping or fishing supplies, while other times it means keeping maintenance materials for vehicles on hand.

One of the ways in which I am quite clearly overprepared is with my boat’s maintenance materials. I see this as a good thing, however, as I’ve been able to draw from my bulk outboard motor oil supply for so long that I haven’t had to make any runs to the store or do any shopping online to get more motor oil ever since I got my boat.

Sunburned, but Remembered Yamalube 2M Oil

33andongobiI went on a long boating trip with my friends this weekend and I wound up with the worst sunburn that I’ve gotten in years. I look like a cartoon character; the amount of redness on my face and arms is unreal. My lips and the tiny bald spot on my head even managed to get completely sunburned. Taking a shower has turned into a painful experience.

I can’t believe that I remembered to load up on Yamalube 2M oil for my boat but I forgot to load up on sunscreen for myself. The boat ran perfectly, but I’ll be shedding skin like a snake for a while. Next time, I’d better make sure that I’m more prepared unless I want to go through the agony of being badly sunburned again, which really is no fun at all.

Making Tough Decisions about Laptops and Boat Motor Oil

P1110830loIt took me forever to pick out my new laptop because I’m always doing comparisons and quality checks and reading reviews. Whenever I make a big purchase, I look at every single aspect that could possibly influence my decision, and it often leads to me taking a longer time to pick something out than it would take most people. However, this usually leads to me using quality products.

I even do this sort of research with smaller purchases, though it doesn’t typically take me the same amount of time. For instance, after the painstaking research I did when it came to buying my own boat, I still had to do even more research and read more information when it came to picking the best possible boat motor oil to go along with it.

Fun with a Boating License and Yamalube Oil

Boating LicenseI got my boating license when I was a teenager so that I’d be able to operate my dad’s boat whenever we went out to our lake house. I would bring my friends out there and we would chill out in the sun, hang out at the beach, and ride around in the boat. Sometimes we would go fishing, but mostly we just had a lot of fun cruising around in the boat in general.

I no longer live with my parents, but I do have my own boat these days, and I’m glad I have a boating license and a lot of experience with boats. I live much closer to a lake now than our lake house was to our actual house, so I have more opportunities now than I used to that allow me to load up my boat with Yamalube oil and take it out for a spin.

Learning About Boat Maintenance and Two Cycle Outboard Oil

img12413131536I’m the type of person who is constantly seeking knowledge, especially in regards to the things I want to do with my life. For instance, when I was purchasing my boat, I probably went on every single major boating website you could think of to check out reviews and figure out exactly what the right boat for me would be.

Similarly, once I did select and purchase my boat, I started picking up as many books as possible that were related to boating and boat maintenance. I was able to determine which two cycle outboard oil was the best for my boat, as well as learned a number of tips and tricks for if my boat ever needs major maintenance. I even learned some things about properly cleaning a boat.

Mercury Outboard Oil for Birthday Boating

CW-330-Doctors-Gone-WildWork has been really stressful lately so I decided to plan ahead and take some time off around my birthday. I thought that it would be really nice to go on a fishing and boating trip with my friends somewhere far away from work and home, because that would be the perfect way for me to finally get some much-needed relaxation time in.

Luckily, fueling up my boat isn’t particularly stressful and I already had all the Mercury outboard oil that I would need for the trip. I was glad I had thought ahead on that, because with all the extra tasks I’d been doing at work to be able to go on vacation, I didn’t really have time to go out and do a whole bunch of maintenance on my boat as well.

Fishing with a Group and Evinrude XD50 Oil

1002446_10151731492185993_290184089_nI really enjoy fishing, but I’ve never been a big fan of going fishing by myself. I know that some people will find it relaxing to wake up early in the morning and go out on their own, but I only really have a good time fishing because of the bonding that I can do with my family and friends when we’re fishing as a group activity; I find that this makes it much more fun.

When I go fishing, I usually load my boat up with Evinrude XD50 oil and take it out to the lake with some friends, even though I live on a river. Boating with friends is another aspect that really makes me love the fishing experience.  Fishing with friends and family has created some of my best memories.
