Using Yamaha 2W Oil on My Very Own Personal Watercraft

Domo-Online 12-2-2014 Pic 3After spending some time on my cousin’s Waverunner, I knew that I needed to have one of my own. It was so exhilarating and fun spending time on it and it seemed like the kind of thing that I would love doing in my spare time. When I lived in a more wintry area, I did a lot of snowmobiling, and this feels like the summer equivalent.

Thus, I did the research and made sure to load up on Yamaha 2W oil that I’d be able to use for my Waverunner’s maintenance. I picked up a Waverunner and I’ve been going out on it constantly. I fully intend to get my money’s worth with my very first personal watercraft.

Prepared for the Summer with Evinrude XD 50 Oil

I like to go fishing with my friends. It’s something that I’ve always enjoyed doing, but we’ve always had to rent boats in order to do it. This past summer lasted so long that we were able to go on many boating and fishing trips and I began to realize that it’d probably be more cost-effective for me to purchase a boat of my own.

After doing some searching, I found a boat that I really liked and decided to buy it. I’m already excited to get it prepared for the coming summer. I’ve got all the Evinrude XD 50 oil that I could need as well as everything else that is necessary when you purchase a boat for the first time.

2 Stroke Oil and Cleaning Supplies for Maintenance

Domo-Online 12-2-2014 Pic 1When you’re a boat owner, there are a lot of things that need to be considered. Owning a boat is a genuine responsibility and personally, I don’t think it’s one that should be taken lightly. I know a lot of other people with boats and it surprises me how infrequently they pay attention to the maintenance needs of their boat.

That’s why I always make sure that I’ve got all that I could possibly need for my boat’s maintenance. Whether it’s cleaning supplies or 2 stroke oil, I have everything on hand so that I can make sure that my boat’s maintenance is done regularly and that it is done correctly as well.

My Dad’s Doomsday Prepping with Bulk Outboard Motor Oil

domo-online blog 5 11-24-14My dad is an interesting character. He once built a bunker, above ground, forgot that it was supposed to be buried, then proceeded to just cover it with a giant mound of dirt. He buys bulk coffee with no filters, toothpaste but no toothbrushes, and enough toilet paper to supply half of Rhode Island. He is serious about his prepping, but my dad is not one that thinks too far into his projects.

Lately, he has been buying bulk outboard motor oil and storing it in our boat shed. Because we live on Puget Sound, he believes the boat will be our main source of travel once the power goes out and roads get blocked. Let’s hope he remembers to stock up on fuel!  For all my dad’s imagination and prepping skills, he definitely needs to start planning a bit better!

Finding Great Prices on Yamalube 2M Oil

Yamaha makes some great products, including their marine performance oil. I have always trusted this company to keep my boat running great all year long. Since money is tight for me, I make sure I maintain my boat religiously so no surprise repairs will sneak up on me. I also am very careful about getting my oil and boat parts at great prices so I can afford everything I need.

I always purchase my Yamalube 2m oil from an online distributor that has amazing prices and fast shipping times. It’s always great to know where to get good marine oil at a great price.

Trusting in Mercury Premium Plus Synthetic Oil to Power My Summer Fun

domo-online blog 3 11-24-14I live in dreary old Seattle for nine months out of the year. I deal with the traffic every day, the crowds, the bad attitudes from people too cold and wet to offer more than a grumble of hello in the morning. But for three months every year, I am free. During the summer, I am far away from the cloudy skies of Puget Sound, and happy for it!

I built a house in Stehekin, Washington, on the east side of the cascades where we see more sun and fire than we do rain and clouds. My house borders one of the biggest lakes in the country, and you can bet that I’m on that water most days I’m on vacation. Because it’s such a big lake, keeping my boat in shape is extremely important for safety. That’s why I use Mercury premium plus synthetic oil to keep my boat healthy. It’s an oil I can trust all summer long.

Using Mercury 2 Cycle Oil for the Last 30 Years Has Benefited My Equipment and My Sanity

I hate trying out new products. It seems that these days, nine times out of ten, I’m disappointed in whatever I’ve bought. It all seems cheaply made these days, with plastic parts or sub-par ingredients. That’s why when I find a product that works, I stick with it and pray that it never changes.

I’ve been using Mercury 2 cycle oil since the 1980s, if that’s any indication of a good product. Every time I perform a tune-up on my engines, I’m always amazed at how clean the carburetors are and the spark plugs always look simply, well, sparkling! It’s a great product that’s found at a competitive price. You just can’t go wrong with Mercury!

Why My Dad Loves Evinrude XD 100 Oil

domo-online blog 1 11-24-14When my father finds a product that works, he is usually a customer for life. He also likes to make his children customers for life, for any product he finds worthwhile. That’s why I exclusively wear Carhartts to work, drive only Chevy trucks, and eat organic. When it comes to taking care of all the machinery we keep around our home shop, my father has opinions on the best products to use there as well.

My father only uses Evinrude XD 100 oil in our boats. It has always been an oil that runs very clean, with no smoke or odor. I guess I’m going to be a customer for life as well!

Buying Bulk Outboard Motor Oil Saves You Money

domo-online blog 5 11-17-14I was never one to buy anything in bulk. If I needed a pair of socks, I bought a pair of socks. If I needed toilet paper, I bought only what I needed. I didn’t mind trips to the store, and I didn’t like to spend more money than I had to at any given time. That was until my girlfriend turned me on to the advantages of buying in bulk.

My girlfriend is the type of woman who shops exclusively at Costco. One day, after I complained about a grocery bill, she sat me down and showed me the amount of money we were actually saving buying in bulk. I wondered if I could save money buying bulk outboard motor oil for my boat as well. Sure enough, I did end up saving a bundle and even split the cost with a friend. Now I’m truly a bargain shopper!

Yamalube is the Oil I Trust for My Motors

domo-online blog 4 11-17-14I take care of my watercraft extremely well. I purchased my WaveRunner as well as my outboard brand-spanking new, several years ago, and they are still running great. When you buy new, you don’t have to deal with anyone else’s maintenance neglect or bad habits. It’s extremely important to me to keep my machines running in the same great condition that I bought them in.

Yamaha has always been a brand I trust. Their Yamalube oil has always worked great in my motors and it’s all I’ve ever used. In all these years, I’ve never had an engine problem because I keep up on my regular maintenance and only use the best products to safeguard the longevity of my machines. When I buy this oil, I know I’m getting the same great product every time. Consistency is a thing I really appreciate in a running engine.

Buying Bulk Mercury Optimax Oil to Survive the Winter

domo-online blog 3 11-17-14Living on an island in the Inside Passageway of Alaska, winters can be tough. The days grow very cold and the sea gets rough. Sun becomes a distant memory by the time the end of fall rolls around, and no one wants to go out more than necessary. It’s hibernating season for Alaskans and during this time, it’s a good idea to stock up on necessary supplies in case of emergencies.

I always buy bulk Mercury Optimax oil to get me through the winter. Because I live on an island, my main mode of transportation is my boat. It’s extremely important to me to keep my boat running clean and healthy so it can perform throughout the dreary season and beyond. That’s why I stock up well in advance of winter. Living in such a dark, cold and remote location as I do, it’s always better to be safe than sorry when stocking your supplies.

Is it Better to Go Synthetic When Considering Your Boat Motor Oil?

domo-online blog 2 11-17-14There has been a debate for years whether synthetic is better or more efficient than regular oil in your boat engine. My father refuses to use synthetic at the moment, stating the old, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,’ mentality. Now that I’m a grown woman with a boat of my own however, I’m considering using synthetic in my engine.

Doing my research on the best boat motor oil available, I found that using synthetic oil results in less engine wear over time, although this does come at a price. Synthetic is about twice as expensive, currently, than regular oil is. I decided that because I use my boat nearly every day for commuting, and I plan on keeping it for a long time, I’m going to switch to synthetic. Sorry Dad!
