Weekly letter from GusA weekly letter for boat owners who'd rather understand the dealer's estimate than sign it — and keep the outboard they already own from dying too soon.
Know which parts on a dealer bill your outboard did not need.
Garden-hose rinses and hand-tool checks you can do in your own driveway.
One letter each week: what to check, what to skip, what to ignore.
No smoke: the full guide, the exact steps, the fix — every week.
Read the full issue →Line by line through a repair estimate on a young outboard: which items were real wear, which were salt nobody rinsed, and the questions that turn a bill into a conversation.
You're not paying for 'content' (that's everywhere and half-wrong). You're paying for the tested way, the exact steps, every week — and for a real answer when you get stuck.

“I used to sign the dealer's estimate because I had no way to argue with it. Now I read the line items first, and last spring I fixed what was actually wrong out in my own driveway.”

“My outboard was dying too soon and I blamed the engine. Nobody ever told me to rinse the salt out. The weekly letter reads like the guy in the next slip talking, not a service counter handing me a bill.”

No contract, no calls, no spam. Your first issue lands this week. If it's not for you, you leave and lose nothing.
Yes. If a job needs a lift or shop equipment, it stays out of the letter. Everything here runs on a garden hose, hand tools, and the driveway you already park in.
No. The habits are the same under every cowling: rinse the salt, check spark and fuel, read the estimate before you sign. Nothing here tells you which engine to go buy.
Bits of it, scattered and half-wrong. Here it's tested, start to finish, with the exact steps — and a fresh one every week.
No. Plain steps, big print, one a week. Nothing fancy, the way it's always been done.
