[MIKEMCKEE]

I was on a nice weekend sail up to Urbana, VA, The trip up and the over night was great. Every time I go to get underway even if I've just had the motor running good the previous day I always check the fluids. I checked them but I forgot to have my reading glasses on when I was looking at the dip stick and It looked to me that my motor oil was low. I preceded to add the oil and start to get underway. Well If you have too much oil in there the thing won't start. I did the old KISS way of trouble shooting and I came to the conclusion that the motor worked good prior to adding the oil, but didn't now, and guess what......
I didn't have a oil pump on board, so I did the very next best thing. I put a log plastic tube down the oil dip stick tube and SUCKED the excess oil out with my mouth. Oh you can surly guess it was a mess, and I don't ever go out again without my Oil pump on board.
