    Just a thought the regarding emergency use of an outboard….A lot of what I see around here, with our local fire departments and small, outboard-powered boats, is that they spend a lot of time idling, as they search or do their actual, physical rescuing. More often than not, it’s in colder water. You seem like a very thorough person. If I were you, and really wanted to use the J4Cs, I would do a LOT of long-term idle testing for fouling plugs, before I handed the motor over to the users. My two cents.

    Long live American manufacturing!
