could someone tell me how can I rig up away to tell if my 1986 75hp merc. outboard is running hot?

Question

I don't have any type of dash board gauges so I really don't know if my engine is running hot or not.

Answer 1

If you call around to the local boat dealers you may be able to purchase a thermomelt stick. It looks like a crayon and is designed to melt at certain temps. They come in various temps so find out what temp you will need for your engine. Once you purchase this, Just let your engine run until it is warm, hold the thermomelt stick to the side of the head and if it starts melting you are running too hot. If it never seems to start melting at all....you are running at a lower temp than the melt stick you bought. They are pretty inexpensive.

Answer 2

Clearly, this kind of oppressive doctrine is arbitrary and doesn't really have anything to do with its "official" intent. We are told that that women must cover themselves in order to preserve their modesty and/or protect themselves from men's lust; but, as you correctly pointed out, if that were the case, then it would be much easier just to tell the men not to look. The real purpose of the burka is to control women, to limit their senses, to restrict their movements, and to suppress women's sexuality. One question that Islam and the other patriarchal religions consistently fail to answer is why do patriarchal societies and the men within them fear women's sexual power so much? In the final analysis, one can only conclude that real freedom for all people, both men and women, can only begin with freedom FROM religion. It is an oppressive institution that no longer serves any meaningful purpose whatsoever.
