Outboards use a positive displacement pump because they are self priming. Which means they can suck water up from the lake into an empty motor. Centrifugal pumps struggle to pump anything unless they are completely submerged in water/coolant already. #diy #outboard #womeninstem #smallenginemechanic

At some point, I will have a completely restored boat and accessories. I don’t want to do a full restoration, but my brain won’t allow me to do quick fixes. #diy #carburetorcleaning #restoration #chrysler #outboard #transwomeninstem

I am now a certified outboard motor mechanic. If you have any questions, please don’t ask me because I only know how to work on this 54 year old POS that’s been rebuilt by untold rednecks with various junkyard parts :) #outboard #boat #smallenginemechanic #diy #womeninstem
