http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/09/cuomo_signs_law_requiring_boating_safety_courses.html#incart_river_default Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed new legislation Friday that would require the operators of all powered boats to pass an eight-hour, safety course. The law takes effect May 1 and comes in the aftermath of fatal boating accidents last year on Long Island and upstate. It will be put into effect over a period of years. It will initially cover anyone 18 or younger, while older boaters would be exempt. First-time violators would face fines of $100 to $250. Certificates can be obtained and the safety course completed with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historical Preservation, U.S. Power Squadrons, or the U.S. Coast Guard. Previous state law only required operators of a personal watercraft to have a boating safety certificate, or be accompanied by someone older than 18 years who is the holder of a safety certificate. "New York State has some of the best recreational and thriving commercial waterways in the country, and it is our responsibility to ensure they remain safe for all boat operators and passengers," Cuomo said in a statement. "This legislation will make sure that those who operate any kind of boat have the necessary training and experience, and they are aware of the risks and proper protocol for handling their vessels," he said. The new law covers all motorized ("mechanically powered) water vessels. There is no size limit of crafts specified. Technically, the operator of a canoe with an electric motor would be required to take a safety course. New York is the 21st state to make boating safety training mandatory, according to a story in Newsday. Seven states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, have more stringent laws, the newspaper reported. A big motivation for the law was a boating accident off the north shore of Long Island that attracted national attention nearly a year ago on the Fourth of July. A cabin cruiser capsized following a fireworks display on Oyster Bay. Three children drowned. Last summer on Oneida Lake, a father and two sons died when the driver of the boat got distracted by fireworks and hit the concrete base of a channel marker. None of the boat's passengers were wearing life preservers. The legislation, (A.3471-A / S.1639-A), was sponsored by two Democrats: state Sen. David Carlucci, from Rockland County, and Assemblywoman Sandy Galef, from Westchester. Robert Brown, public affairs officer for Flotilla 21 of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in Syracuse, said the law is "long overdue. "I've boated on major waters across New York State, both fresh and salt water. I've seen a broad gamut of boating skills, or lack of skills," Brown said. "In order to drive a sports car, which can go well over 100 mph, you have to take a course and be licensed. But if you have a boat 50 to 70 feet long that can go up to 70 mph, and you don't have to demonstrate any skill in operating it."

Thank you all for the birthday wishes, another year past & another forward tx again! Hank

80w90 in both upper & lower. On the older Stringer (OMC) drives it is best to ck the upper for water contamination several times a season as well.

The Spx-5r with the p70r control head would be a good choice on that boat.

Disconnect the black/yellow stipe wire from the bullet connector on the switch box & ck for spark at the plugs. That will eliminate all kill wiring, switches ect.. Still no spark on either cyl. > the problem is most likely stator or switch box. Also ck all the bullet connectors on the switch box for corrosion aswell as the black ground wires that are under the screws that hold the switch box to the block.

It is now
