Care for Your Mdtor Means Best Boating Whether your fun on the water means water skiing, fishing, cruising, or “just messing about” — don’t let a balky outboard interfere with your plans. Keep that motor humming all season long by following the simple steps outlined by engineers at Champion Spark Plug Company. Insuring happy boating means a pre-season check of your outboard. So before you launch your boat, give your

motor this three-point check. • CHECK THE SPARK PLUGS. If they are still in good condition, clean and fegap them. Otherwise, replace them with new plugs. ° (Buy an extra set to keep on ' board your boat for emergencies.) • CHECK IGNITION WIRING. If insulation or c'rack.ed, it should be replaced. While you’re at it, check the points for good contact. • CHECK OIL LEVEL. If you didn’t drain the oil in the fall, do it in the spring. Refill with fresh lubricant using a grade recommended by the motor manufacturer.

J| Im I I Now you’re,, ready for the shakedown, knowing that your outboard is going to perform the way it was intended. Your outboard is the heart of your water activities, so keep an eye on it throughout the summer. About miaway through the boating season, it’s a good idea to clejm and regap the spark plugs. Braddition, clean the fuel filter bowl and replace the element. The gearcase should also be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh lubricant. Check and lubricate all grease fittings, steering controls, and carburetor and magneto linkages. The propeller should also be inspected. Look it over for nicks and chips. If the prop is bent badly, or worn, replace it. There is perhaps nothing more annoying than an outboard that’s hard to start on practically every outing. On most occasions, the hard starting bug can be traced to worn out or fouled spark plugs, or carburetor overchoking. So check the plugs often, clean them if they’re fouled, and regap them as required. As for overchoking, this often results when the engine is tilted as in trailering or launching. Your best bet: disconnect the fuel line when the engine is not in use. New Dimension To Boating Fun Snapshots add a new dimension to boating fun, but there are a few photographic bugs that should be guarded against overexposure — water reflects far more light than ground surfaces. z Use fast shutter speeds — l/100th or l/200th of a second — and dop’t brace against the boat because it’s moving dll the time. out for water oh the lens,too; even one drop can spoil the picture.

These are some of the more common causes of rough idling. Good maintenance always pays off in trouble-free operation of your outboard. Look after it properly and you’ll have years of service from it. The mid-day sun has-been known to do more damage to sports-minded people than actual mishaps while playing a game.
