Trying Out Mercury 2 Stroke Premium Plus Outboard Motor Oil

9724g95_20I’ve always been wary about anything that refers to itself as ‘premium’. I am often quite skeptical of how certain products are advertised, so I’m constantly doing research and reading  Consumer Reports magazines and websites online.  This helps me make better decisions on purchases.

That’s why I was so surprised when I was guided towards picking up some Mercury 2 stroke Premium Plus  outboard motor oil for my boat. It turned out that when they said ‘premium’ in the title of the oil, they really meant it. My boat has been running fantastically ever since I started using it and I’m certain that I won’t be going back.

Won’t Be Stranded With Evinrude Outboard Oil

cat1I’ve been living with a bit of a strange conundrum. My biggest fear in the world is being stranded on open water, but one of my favorite pastimes is going fishing. Considering those two things go fairly hand in hand, I always try to make sure to take extra precautions any time I go fishing. Usually, I prefer to fish on a dock, somewhere safe, but things don’t always work out that way.

Obviously, the best fishing is fishing that can be done out on the open water, be it in a lake or an ocean, or what have you. I always make sure to use Evinrude outboard oil on my boat whenever necessary and I keep a lot of extra on hand, because I want to be completely certain that my boat never fails on me, so that I won’t be stranded.

Stocked Up On WaveRunner Oil

Quintana Roo, Riviera Maya, Punta Maroma, Hotel Maroma, Waverunners - Photo by MaromaI feel that the WaveRunner gets neglected when it comes to watercraft. You see people with all different types of  boats or on jet skis and things like that, but I rarely ever see a WaveRunner where I live. Which is too bad, because riding around on a WaveRunner is so much fun! It’s probably my favorite thing to do on the water.

I for one, use my WaveRunner far more often than I use my boat. I enjoy going out on my WaveRunner as often as possible. For that reason, I always make sure to stock up on WaveRunner oil, also known as Yamalube 2W, so that I can make sure to keep it maintained properly and keep my personal watercraft in excellent shape.

Fishing In Iowa And Outboard Motor Oil

038335_headlineThough it’s about as far away from oceans that you could be, Iowa still manages to have plenty of awesome places for fishing. In particular, I like to take my boat out to the Mississippi River in the east. It’s pretty well known for having a very broad assortment of fish such as bass, catfish, pike, walleye, and panfish. There are tons of access points to the river as well.

There are other places to fish in Iowa as well, such as a number of lakes, trout streams, smaller rivers, and the Missouri River on the west, where most people go to catch blue catfish. All you need to do is get a fishing license, a boat, and fuel up with some outboard motor oil, and you’re ready to head out on the water to catch some fish.

Evinrude XD 50 Oil As A Gift

m_gDNUMdXnYACHVQWX5Z7JgI have a tendency to buy a lot of gifts in advance, so I like to choose things that are non-perishable and non-seasonal, so that I can pull from my stock of gifts to give to people upon certain occasions. For instance, over the course of four months, I have my dad’s birthday, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and my mom’s birthday, so it makes things easier to already have stuff on hand.

For my dad, who recently retired and has been boating a lot, I’ve been picking up various boat-related items. For instance, I pulled some Evinrude XD 50 oil from my gift stock for his birthday, and he was very pleased with it. I think I’ll be giving him something boat-related when Father’s Day rolls around as well.

Properly Sealed Evinrude Johnson 2 Stroke Outboard Oil

$(KGrHqN,!lsE+G!hufSUBP5B!h6K3Q~~60_35My neighbor is getting older and he sold me his boat recently, along with a few additional items to go along with the boat. He gave it to me at a heavily discounted price, because he feels he’s getting a little too old to keep up with maintaining a boat and taking it out on the water. I made sure to check if the oil he gave me was properly sealed.

With proper storage, Evinrude Johnson 2 stroke outboard oil has a very long shelf life.  It is important that the bottles of oil remain  unopened. When the oil is opened, however, the additives in oil can cause it to turn acidic, which can cause problems. Ultimately, if it is properly sealed, oil can last years and years.

Boat Maintenance With Bulk Mercury Optimax Oil

50hpMy friends and I decided to go out on our first fishing excursion of the year not too long ago. It’s still a little cold out, but we’d been itching to go fishing for quite a while, and I’d been hearing that the walleye were out. We had pretty much all of the supplies that we needed for a nice fishing trip; at the time, all we had to do was help my buddy out to perform maintenance on his boat.

We pulled from his large stock of bulk Mercury Optimax oil and made sure to perform all the required maintenance before we took the boat out to the water. I think it’s smart that he keeps such a large amount of it on hand at all times, so that he doesn’t have to go out and buy more when he wants to actually use his boat, whatever the occasion.

Snowmobile Oil Even In The Spring

AdvancedSnowmobileAs spring begins to approach, I’m sad to say that snowmobile season is quickly slipping away from us. I love finding areas where I can ride around on my snowmobile and it’s something that I always miss during the summertime. Where I live, it can stay pretty cold for a while, even into spring, but then all of a sudden, the snow will be melted away.

When winter can essentially end at the drop of a hat, it’s always important to find time to go out on my snowmobile while there is still snow outside. That’s why I always make sure to keep snowmobile oil on hand, even as we move into spring, considering there’s never any guaranteed date where there won’t be snow anymore.

Modern Pirates With Mercury Engine Oil

03somalia.xlarge1I think that if you were a classic-styled pirate in this day and age, you’d have to run things quite a bit differently than back in the old days. For one, I’m not sure how much buried treasure is actually out there anymore. Another problem is that the seas are probably policed a lot better than they were in the heyday of pirates.

You would definitely have to adjust the kinds of ships and boats that you traveled around in. Maybe you would still have a giant ship that used sails and everything, but maybe you’d also have smaller motorized boats for the purposes of speed. And if that were the case, you’d also need some Mercury engine oil to keep your boats properly maintained.

Mercury 2 Cycle Oil In A New Boat

boat2When my son was young, I used to take him out on a rusty old boat that my father had passed down to me and we would go fishing in the river behind our house. We usually didn’t catch a whole lot, but it was a nice way to teach my son to be a sportsman and for us to bond together over a fun activity, one he would remember all of his life.

Now that he’s a full-grown man, it’s clear that our experiences boating together have influenced his hobbies as an adult. He’s got his own boat now and it’s a boat that’s much nicer than the rusty old one I used to take him out on. For his birthday, I got him some Mercury 2 cycle oil, so that he’ll be able to take care of that brand new boat.

Evinrude Oil For My Boat

BeckerLakeI have a friend who has always been loyal to Yamaha products; he’s a musician who has always loved using their musical instruments, so when it came to purchasing items for his boat and other vehicles, it was sort of a no-brainer for him. He suggested that I use Yamaha products as well, but I wanted to make sure the items I used were perfect specifically for my boat.

While I’m certain that Yamaha products work perfectly for him, I actually did some research and found out that with my particular boat, Evinrude oil would be the best choice for maximum efficiency. It’s always important to do the research before you purchase products for your vehicle’s maintenance so you can properly meet its needs.

Storing Bulk Outboard Motor Oil

xd30pts6There are a few guys that I’m friends with in my neighborhood that have gotten boats recently. I have the biggest garage on the block, so I’ve been offering my services to store boat-related things in my garage, so that my neighbors and friends can have a little more room in their own garages.

What we did was we pooled our money together and bought a decent amount of bulk outboard motor oil, which is largely being stored in my garage. Each of them has a small amount at their own home, but because my garage is so big, there’s room for a lot of this extra stuff, and they can easily come over and grab up some motor oil whenever they need it.
