1. Engine year, make, type, model, and serial number if possible.
2. Type and model of outdrive, Merc, Volvo, OMC, etc.
3. EXACTLY what it's doing wrong, worded correctly so we can figure out the question.
4. PATIENCE to do the testing procedures given.
5. State your problem in the name of the topic. Don't clutter up your request for help with HELP!!! or PLEASE!!!. We know you want help. Tell us what kind of help you need.
6. Don't capitalize except where it is normal.
