[QUOTE="JCNodak, post: 90342, member: 2902"] Yeah, I figured it out after it was pointed out to me. Like I said. Slow. I know you weren't being rude. Thanks for the input. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] That's my problem, I have had this in the garage for 3 weeks now and if feels like it's been 3 months. This is my first large boat and I can't wait to get it out and see what she can do. Heck, it's even the first boat I've had that has trim/tilt. The anticipation is killing me! :;:help [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Running on the river as I have, I am well aware of what a rock can do. I guess that's why we get insurance. My question on this Merc 150 is how do I know when it's warmed up? Everyone, including my dealer said to warm it up and let the thermostat do it's work. On my old motor (25 hp mariner 2 stroke), it would just putter out the "pee hole" until the thermostat opened up. That is how I knew it was warm. Does it work the same on these new 4 strokes or is it always coming out of there with a nice steady stream? [/QUOTE]
