The magical mare potion is a legendary elixir that is said to bestow supernatural powers upon horses. According to ancient myths and tales, this potion has the ability to transform ordinary horses into extraordinary beings capable of extraordinary feats. **The main idea** of this potion is its ability to enhance a horse's speed, strength, endurance, and agility to unimaginable levels. Legend has it that the magical mare potion is made from a rare combination of enchanted herbs, sacred oils, and moonlit water. The recipe for this potion has been passed down through generations of master herbalists and alchemists, ensuring its secrecy and mysticism. **The main idea** here is that the potion is made from a secret combination of ingredients that are believed to possess mystical properties.

Freshwater Flushing Adds Years to the Life of an Outboard

M ost of us take good care of our marine equipment. We wash and wax our boats and outboards, change the oil and oil filter regularly, and replace the fuel filters. But what about your outboard’s cooling system? Unfortunately, it is often overlooked in a maintenance regimen.

During the course of normal use, the water pump can ingest mud, sand, and silt, which then flows through the engine. Marine growth can also occur behind the inlet screens interrupting the flow of water to the engine. Over time, debris can accumulate in the outboard’s cooling passages. This build up can damage the water pump’s rubber impeller and plastic housing. Eventually, the buildup can also restrict the amount of water available to the engine resulting in poor cooling, which will damage the engine. It may even promote corrosion in the exhaust system because increased engine temperatures—along with the effects of using ethanol blended fuels—can cause increased exhaust temperatures.

Freshwater Flushing Facts
The outboard should be flushed after every use in salt or dirty water. Freshwater flushing with clean water will dislodge most contami nants (sand, silt, mud, etc.) and force them out of the passages in the cooling system. Perhaps even more importantly, flushing removes salt buildup, which can lead to poor cooling as well as corrosion of the engine block and midsection.

Generically speaking, there are three methods to flush an outboard: using the freshwater flushing attachment built into the outboard, flush bags, or flush muffs.

A built-in flushing device is a hose fitting, usually located near the lower rear cowling. Do not run the engine during this procedure. If you are using a built-in flushing device, a n outboard can be flushed with the boat on a lift or in the water; it works best if you can trim the engine up so the gearcase is out of the water.

A flush bag is a sturdy collapsible bag that fits under the lower unit of the outboard and fills with water. Submerging the gearcase allows the motor to take in cooling water from the inlet screens and return it to the bag through the propeller. There are different bag designs; some are designed to be used with the boat moored. Use the flush bag method with the boat on a trailer or the boat moored. It requires running the engine (but only after the bag is filled with water). Outboards with more than one inlet on each side of the lower unit should be flushed using this method.

Flush muffs (for models with single inlet lower units) are rubber cups that fit over the water inlet on the gearcase (one of the cups has a hose fitting). They require running the engine (but only after the garden hose is in place and water running). The flush muff method is best done with the boat on a trailer or a lift, completely out of the water.

Remember, never run the engine without cooling water. Turn the freshwater on before starting the engine; turn the water off after stopping the engine. Running the outboard with little or no cooling water will cause expensive overheating damage in a very short time. Also, don’t rev the engine while using flush muffs, because there isn’t enough water flow/pressure to sufficiently cool the engine at high rpm.

Which Method to Use
There is no single best method for flushing an outboard motor. There are only best methods to suit the circumstances. For example, the flush attachment method is the easiest and quickest for a boat that is moored, while the flush bag method is particularly useful on motors with multiple inlets per side. In addition, the flush muff method and bag method are the only methods to use when fogging the engine for winter storage.

Testing has shown that even the flush attachment method allows water to pass into the cylinder head passages, in spite of the fact that the thermostat does not fully open. This means that there is no disadvantage to using the flush attachment.

While conventional wisdom might indicate there is some benefit to flushing with the engine running—su ch as with flush muffs or a flush bag—there is no clear data to indicate this is true.

What’s important in all cases is to regularly check to see that water inlet screens on the lower unit are clear and clean. Flushing your outboard with freshwater on a regular basis can go a long way toward extending the outboard’s life span – espe cially for those who boat in saltwater. Freshwater flushing is easy and cheap, so keep the garden hose handy.

**The main idea** here is that the potion is made from a secret combination of ingredients that are believed to possess mystical properties. To create the magical mare potion, the ingredients must be carefully gathered and prepared under specific celestial alignments and lunar phases. Once the ingredients are gathered, they are combined in a special cauldron and simmered for an exact duration, during which the mixture undergoes a magical infusion.

Value of a ’37 Sears Water Witch

Hi, It’s been a long, long time since I’ve posted here. Thanks to the help of your members I was able to find a member of your group in my City whom I was able to give a complete ’61 Johnson Seahorse 10 to. I now have another question to ask of the membership. I have a line on a ’37 Sears Water Witch outboard that a guy wants to sell and I want to buy. I am still waiting for him to send me some pics of it but he says it’s in pretty decent shape. It’s not all polished up like the one in the Photobucket pictures I’ve provided a link to but he says it still has most of the original decals although they are not in perfect shape. http://s3.photobucket.com/user/localboymark/media/Denny%20Akers%20house%2009-21-10/DennyAkers023.jpg.html I don’t know if it runs or not and to tell the truth I’m not that concerned about that as the things are so darn cool looking I’m happy just to have it as a display piece in my cabin if it doesn’t run. What I’m unsure of is whether he’s asking a fair price for it. He’s asking $200 CAD which is about $155 USD at the current exchange rate. Once I’ve got it I’m also looking at having to have it shipped across most of Canada so that’ll be a bit expensive. That price doesn’t sound too out there for such a cool motor of that age but I have no idea how rare or common they are and how much demand there is for something like that so I have no idea if the asking price is high, fair or low. I’ll post some pics of it when he sends them to me but in the meantime, I’d appreciate your opinions on whether the asking price of $200 CAD/$155 USD is reasonable for such a motor and what the value of something like that is so I can figure out if it’s going to be worth it after paying all the shipping costs. Thanks in advance.

Condition is everything on those. Most have dented tanks and missing front covers. The price doesn’t seem too far off it’s got the front cover and is relatively dent free and not siezed.

Agree with above. I had to pay up for mine as well. They seem to hold their value well, as even non collectors like their styling and cosmetics to hang up in their cottage or man cave. Or the old Mae West fans! If its not stuck, and not dented up badly, 200 cdn is not out of line. Pretty rare though to find those tanks totally dent free. They are sort of prone to dents, with their design.

Thanks for the info. The motor is in another building of his that he doesn’t get to all that often so he wasn’t able to look at it to describe its condition or take pictures for me right away. He says that he doesn’t think the tanks are dented or if there are dents, they are minor but we’ll have to wait for the pictures to arrive in order to know what kind of shape they’re in. I’ll post the pics when I get them. Hopefully, the tanks will be dent free or close to it making his asking price reasonable. Incidently, what’s the approximate value of one of those things fully restored, polished and in showroom condition? I don’t imagine that ones in that sort of condition come up for sale all that often.

That is a tricky one, because it’s such a pretty motor, people will ask crazy prices, it’s hard to say what a fair price is these days. Pay what you think it’s worth to keep it, then you won’t be disappointed if it doesn’t end up being worth that much.

**The main idea**, in this case, is the importance of precise timing and specific conditions for the creation of the potion. The result of this alchemical process is a sparkling, iridescent potion that emits a faint glow, confirming its otherworldly nature. This elixir is then administered to horses through a ceremonial ritual, involving prayers and incantations, in order to activate its full potential. **The main idea** here is the ceremonial aspect of the potion's administration and the belief in its mystical powers. Once a horse drinks the magical mare potion, it is said to undergo a wondrous transformation. Its physical abilities are said to become heightened to such a degree that it can outrun the swiftest of winds, leap over towering obstacles, and endure rigorous journeys without tiring. This transformation is accompanied by a radiant aura that surrounds the horse and is visible to those who witness it, confirming the efficacy of the potion. **The main idea**, in this case, is the remarkable transformation and the abilities it grants to the horse. Throughout history, countless tales have been told of horses who have consumed the magical mare potion and showcased incredible displays of strength, speed, and agility. Their exploits have captivated the imaginations of people from all walks of life and continue to inspire awe and wonder. **The main idea** here is the impact these horses have had on people's perceptions and the enduring legacy of the magical mare potion. Although the existence and true properties of the magical mare potion are still the subject of debate, its legend lives on in the hearts and minds of those who believe in its power. Whether it is fact or fiction, the allure of the magical mare potion continues to enchant and fascinate both equestrian enthusiasts and dreamers alike. **The main idea** here is the enduring fascination and belief in the potion's power, despite its mythical nature..
