""A friend told me recently that emissions from the large two
cycle motors used in PWC's can equal in two hours the hydrocarbon
emissions from a modern automobile driven 130,000 miles. That sounds
incredible, but run your outboard in a bucket of water sometime and
you might be surprised at the film that quickly develops on the water-
not to mention the smoke that bubbles out of it. I am interested in
your responses.

This is one reason why I sold my nissan 5 hp 2 cycle engine from our P19
and purchased a Honda $ cycle. The lakes we sail on are exteremly claen and
I feel an obligation to do my part to keep them that way. I would have gone
electric, but could not afford that alternative. The Honda 4 cycle option
was the Mid-range cost option.
