Leisure Time

Fixing outboard engines can be fun

By LESLIE WHITMAN A new course being offered this fall in the adult education program is “Fundamentals of Outboard Engines.” The class, which meets Tuesday nights, is being conducted by Carl Lozier, Lozier’s Marina and Dean Coverstone of Plaza Marina. Lozier commented the purpose of the course is to teach the maintenance and care of small outboard engines. Demonstration and actual work is used. The instructor said he is first dealing with the basics, teaching the adults what they can do on the engine themselves. At the end of the eight weeks, engines the adults have been working on are tuned-up and put in a tank to see if they run. Lozier said the idea of such a course came from the Association of Marine Dealers in the area. He added the dealers would eventually like it to be offered at the high school level. A total of 13 adults are enrolled. State Reasons A few of the adults enrolled in the course were asked why they signed up. George Bushong, r 5 Syracuse, commented, “Because I wanted to know more about outboard motors for my own use.” Bushong, Syracuse barber,

added, “I think it’s going to be a real interesting class.” Carl Boles, r 2 box 25 Syracuse, agreed with Bushong. He said, “I’m taking the class for the general knowledge. I didn’t know anything about outboard motors. When I learn, I might know what to buy.” The NIPSCo employee added, “I learned a lot the first night. Things I never dreamed you could do with an engine.” Don Blosser, r 2 box 221 Syracuse, said he enrolled for the course to save money. “We’ve got a few engines. I might as well learn how to fix them and save some money.” The Skyline Corporation employee also said, “To make myself knowledgeable.” The only woman enrolled, Linda Holloway, r 1 box 584 Leesburg, said she was interested because she wanted to learn the basics. "Women like boats and we have motor problems too.” The housewife said the family has three engines she is planning on repairing. She is planning on teaching her husband the basics, too. So far, the mother of three has learned a great deal. “It’s covered a couple of problems we’ve had with our own engines.” ’ Next: Developing business etiquette
