Evinrude oil | Outboard Motor Oil - Part 13

Outboard Motors

6a00d8341c339953ef00e54f3d08ed8834-640wiThe outboard motor is a typical propulsion system for boats and is one of the most efficient ways to get your boat around. Figuring out what kind of outboard motor you want for your boat can sometimes be the tricky part, however. Luckily, there are a few major brands that it’s typically best to select from.

Evinrude and Yamaha are pretty much definitively among the best outboard motors for boats you could possibly find. Primarily, from my experiences anyway, the only differences are related to weight, which is important for the hull you mount it on. Personally, I have an Evinrude one so I make sure to stock up on Evinrude oil now and then to make sure I’ve got everything running well.

Different Interests

My girlfriend is different from most girls. She grew up as the youngest child with five older brothers and her interests have been heavily influenced by her dad and her brothers. She’s really interested in cars and boats, for instance. She even has her own boat, which is rare for a girl in her twenties who still lives in an apartment.

Even gift-giving with her is a little strange, certainly different than what it’s been like for my previous girlfriends. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday and all she could think of was a bottle of Mercury 2 cycle oil. She uses it for her boat. It’s a very different experience just because she’s interested in such different things than anyone else I’ve dated before.

A Hundred Boat Trips

Since my best friend bought a boat a couple years back, he’s been counting the amount of times he’s been able to get it out on the water. Considering he works full-time, he typically only gets a chance to take it out on the weekends, and it’s pretty cold out here, so usually there’s only a window between the end of spring and the beginning of fall that’s appropriate for taking a boat out on the water.

When it was time to take out the boat for its hundredth time, it was a pretty big deal to us. I bought him a bottle of Evinrude XD100 oil as a gift, because he uses it to maintain his boat. When we took it out on the hundredth trip, we gathered as many of our friends as we could to celebrate and we had a really good time.

I Love Boating

I’ve had three boats in my lifetime because I love boating. I’ve always enjoyed being out on the open water and fishing or just cruising around with my family or with some of my good friends. There are a lot of lakes and rivers nearby the area that I live in, so it’s perfect for someone who loves boats.

My boat has an Evinrude E-TEC engine, so I always use Evinrude XD 50 oil when I’m performing maintenance. I’ve also used it in an older non-Evinrude engine on another boat that I recently sold and it worked fine for that as well. I care a lot about maintaining my boat because boating is very important to me.

Boat Maintenance is Important

I think that maintaining your boat is really important. I’ve got a friend who bought a boat not too long ago, but he hasn’t been great at keeping up with the maintenance. Because of this, he’s been having some problems with his boat. He also bought it used, but I’ve known other people who bought used boats and maintained it well and never had any problems.

Personally, I’ve always used Evinrude outboard oil and I’ve never had any problems with my boat whatsoever, and I’ve been using my boat for years. I think that with the proper maintenance, you’re likely to avoid any major boat issues. That being said, I also purchased a new boat rather than a used one, so that I would know for sure there’d be no pre-existing issues with it.

Yearly Fishing Trip

My buddy and I are big fans of going fishing. Every year, during the summer, we plan a big fishing trip. Both of us have boats and we use them all the time, but we have one weekend during the summer where we find a new, interesting place to fish and we take one of our boats out there to go check it out.

It was his turn this year to be the one taking us out. We went to a lake a few hours from where I live where there were apparently some great fishing spots. It was a really fun trip. I purchased a bottle of Evinrude Johnson 2 stroke outboard oil and I told him that I’d take us out on my boat next time.

Working for the Weekend

I really think that it’s accurate to say that I’m always ‘working for the weekend.’ I’ve got a pretty stressful job that can really take its toll on my sanity sometimes so I get really excited about every weekend. I get even more excited now that I’ve purchased a boat that I’m able to take out on the water.

After I got off work this most recent Friday, I only made a couple of stops. I stopped off for some coffee at Starbucks. Then, I picked up a bottle of Evinrude XD 100 oil for my boat on my way home. Once I got home, I hitched my boat to my truck and got ready for a great weekend.

Boating in Kansas

When you think Kansas, you’re probably not thinking of beaches or boating at all. But you’d be surprised that there actually are a few places for Kansans and people visiting Kansas can go to swim, hang out on the beach, and even roam around in a boat. The bigger ones are in the Kansas City area, bordering Missouri, such as Blue Springs Lake and Longview Lake.

But there are also places actually within the borders of Kansas like Shawnee Mission Park Beach and Kill Creek Park Beach. Regardless of where you choose, it’s nice to know that there are places even in the center of the United States where people can still find ways to boat. Just don’t forget to load up on Evinrude oil before you hit the lakes.

Wine and Salmon

If you’re looking to go fishing for salmon in Michigan – or even in the United States at all – my money’s on Grand Traverse Bay. It’s a perfect place to chill out, relax, and fish for some tasty salmon. If (somehow) you get tired of fishing, no problem! Grand Traverse Bay is one of the centers of Michigan’s wine industry, so there are plenty of wineries to explore when you’re not out in your boat.

Once you’ve figured out which wine will go best with all of the salmon you’re about to catch out on the open water, you can ensure a victorious day of fishing if you get out there early enough. In order to beat the crowds, you might want to use a bottle of Evinrude XD50 Oil to service your engine. Once you’ve done that, you’ll surely be in perfect condition to get out there and catch some delicious salmon.

Fishing in the Sun

My dad wanted to get the family together this summer for a big boat blowout. All of us went out to the lake together to go fishing for steelhead. We had our tackle boxes full of bait, our lifejackets on tight, and we were ready to head out to enjoy the warm sun out on his new boat. It was going to be quite an adventure!

When we got out there, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for boating escapades. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, so it was a mighty good thing we remembered to bring our sunscreen! Luckily for all of us, my dad had purchased Evinrude XD100 Oil for his Evinrude E-TEC motor and we didn’t waste any time getting out there to properly enjoy the day. It was a great day to make memories for the whole family.

Preparation Leads to Boating with Confidence

When you are out on the water, it is crucial that you have the gear you need. Life jackets and other essential safety equipment are required by law. The type of boating you are doing, and the environment you are in, will determine what gear you should bring along, and you should take every precaution before heading out on the water. You should know what to bring based on the size of your boat, purpose and length of the trip and the worst case conditions you might face. Experienced boaters will always tell you to keep your boat prepared for emergencies at all times.

This also includes maintaining your boats mechanical systems, and your engine is a critical component. You should be confident out on the water, knowing that you have done all you can to make sure your boat will get you there and back safely. Using the manufacturer’s specified oil, Evinrude XD50 oil for example, can help to ensure that your engine is running smoothly; and don’t forget to check your oil and fuel levels before every trip out on the water.

Croatian Coast

The next big summer hot spot, according to People magazine, is the Croatian coast. That one made me scratch my head. When I think of Croatia my mind doesn’t immediately go to tropical paradise.

Apparently, the historic city of Dubrovnik sits right on the Adriatic Sea and is quite beautiful and budget friendly. Grilled octopus, I read, is a specialty along the Croatian coast. With all the money I’ve saved by purchasing affordable Evinrude outboard oil over the years, maybe I’ll be able to afford a trip to such an off-beat destination.
