For those of you inclined towards boats with 2-stroke, internal-combustion outboard motors,
I can highly recommend the following...
"The Complete Guide To Outbard Engines," by John Fleming
ISBN 1-892216-31-0
In what seems an odd twist, he makes a great case for the 2-stroke engine. I know we're all taught to be eco-green warriors, and that only 4-strokes measure up anymore.
But he draws a comparison between the two that actually FAVORS the MODERN, 2-stroke in terms of efficiency, fuel economy and emissions parity.
There are several distinct dis-advantages to 4-strokes, in fact, which he points out. All very fascinating to my techno-gadgetry mind.
I suggest you get this book if you own a 2-stroke outboard, expect to, or are simply interested in boaty, motory things.
