[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2382529, member: 63925"] I will not loan out firearms even to relatives. I learned the hard way when my cousin brought my 5hp Johnson back in a pile of parts in a peach basket from a trip to Canada. Ran motor into sand, blocked water intakes, impeller burned out from sand blockage but still ran it. Thought it was running a little warm. Not running as warm as I was when he dropped it off. I loaned out a 870 and the rust on receiver looked like it was case hardened! Magazine tube had all sorts of watery crud in it. I asked "did you drop in water?" Oh no, just rained hard. Found out later canoe overturned a lucky they found it on bottom.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Only good news out of this was I was able to rebuild the old Johnson and ran decent afterwards. Lucky. 870 not so much, pitted bad and I cleaned up and sold it. Wished I kept it to be the loaner!😂 [/QUOTE]
