Do You Have A Mercury Oil Inj 40 Hp -2 Stroke 4 Cyl?
Ive got the 60hp. The only problem I have is re-starts. If I restart it right away within 10 mins or so it fires right up. If I wait an hour or more it is sometimes harder to start than like the first start of the day. First start I have learned to turn key, hold in key for choke for 10 secs or so before cranking. This works much better than just turn-push in and crank right off the bat. Dealer tells me that this series of motor has the re-start issues and nothing can be done to make it fire right off like a EFI motor, its just the nature of the carb'd beast.

Another Kayak Transportation Question.
Im thinking a bed extender in the rear receiver trailer hitch and some kind of bolt on to the front windshield, like a light bar mount to carry it would work well. The bed extenders from Harbor Freight for instance work either to lengthen the bed of a pickup or can be inserted to go vertical like the height of the top of your Jeep.

Clear Lake
throw a Senko at the bed or a heavy weighted drop shot. Put the weight right in the bed and leave it there, jiggling, and for as long as it takes. May have to change color or style to get the bite.

Kayak Transporting Question
I do not use the front or rear straps. I wrap the straps side to side over the yak and around the rack bars. I put the yak on foam covered bars. The tie downs pull the yak down into the foam and it will not slip due to this.

Dropshot With Swivel Above?
after the first year of no swivel and the twist Ive gone to a swivel and no more problems. Just be sure to leave the leader no more than 3' or so so you can reel the fish in without the swivel hitting the rod tip.

Mini Heart Attack
two strokes do not burn all the oil till they are hot, usually the black oil is called spooge. It is the unburned fuel mix full of carbon from the fuel burn process.
