The techniques of maintaining maximum boat engine power are presented. Engines should be run frequently to maintain their efficiency. The loss of power which is attributed to bottom fouling by marine organisms and to the build up of excess weight inside the boat are discussed.

Article Abstract:

An experience aboard the boat Second Chance has taught a group of boaters the importance of reading owner's manuals of boat engines. The primer lever was bent during an oil change, depriving the engine of fuel and causing it to fail to start. Consulting the manual would have prevented the incident.
