Question	—	Does an outboard motor impeller go bad if it isn't exercised regularly? The impeller on my outboard motor (2002 2 stroke 75 HP Yamaha) was replace last year before I used it. It was fully serviced at that the time, but the motor hasn't been run in about 12 months. Does the impeller (for the water pump) go bad if it isn't exercised regularly? (more)	—	over 5 years ago

Question	—	Should I leave my boat lift above water or submerged when in storage? I have a boat lift in my boat house. I'm concerned that leaving the lift in the water will cause the carpeted bunks and metal cross beams to deteriorate more quickly. Should I keep it up or down when my boat is in storage?
