	Outboard Marine Corporation part 1
		Citing a disappointing operating performance of the OMC Corp., and unsuccessful efforts to secure additional financing, the company who had become a household word among the ranks of fishermen and recreational boaters, seemed to be sinking.
		Some marine dealerships who were established with several different brands of boats and outboards have weathered the storm in pretty good shape.
		While in the minds of most such a good company as OMC had to be bought, sooner or later, by someone who had the capital to keep it afloat.

	Lady v. Glasser Marine (5th Cir. 2000)
		OMC responds that section 4306 and the Coast Guard's regulatory decisions both expressly and impliedly preempt Lady's common-law tort claims, because subjecting OMC to a damage award would result in varying state requirements for recreational vessels, in direct contravention to Congress's intent to establish uniform requirements for recreational vessels.
		OMC maintains that the Coast Guard's decision not to require propeller guards amounts to a determination that such a requirement is not appropriate, thus leaving manufacturers with the flexibility to choose an appropriate response to the safety issues presented by boat propellers.
		OMC contends that to allow common-law claims to impose a rule requiring propeller guards would eviscerate the Coast Guard's decision that such a requirement should not be imposed and destroy the flexible approach adopted by the Coast Guard.

		The rather unusual approach that OMC took to allow the drive to tilt (for trailering the boat) was with a ball gear arrangement.

	Type of fuel to use in outboard marine engines - Manufacturer recommendations.
		Using the correct type and blend of gas in your outboard engine is critical to your engine's performance and life expectancy.
		Since most states in the U.S. are switching to 10 % ethanol alcohol blended fuels, you may need to update and replace parts in your engine, to protect your outboard motor from the potential harmful effects of ethanol on outboard engine components.
		Most outboard manufacturers permit ethanol fuel blends of 1-10 %, but also report that ethanol can damage your engine and cancel your warranty if you use fuel containing more than 10 % alcohol.
