Just build a small 3 sided box to keep the rain, snow off and still let air in to cool it. wink

I saw on a different forum a guy took two Rubbermaid storage containers, cut the bottom 3/4 off one, then stacked them together for a cover. He then cut out holes for intake and exhaust.

This will be my fifth season running my Honda 2000 on Mille Lacs. I lust leave it on the tailgate of my truck. It has been covered with snow, sat is -20 temps and just keeps running. My wheel house is in use every weekend of fishable ice on Mille Lacs and I've never had a problem leaving it in the elements.

One note, I do change the oil every 80 hours. During the winter this ends up being about twice per month.

I built a wood box for it and cut exhaust holes in back. Made it nice but I have never used it yet. Maybe on day if I am on the lake and it snows heavy.

I have the honda 1000 but I made a extended tank gas line to run off my 6 gallon boat gas tank. I've got a 40hp 4 stroke and don't get out much in the summer and when I do it's usually in a buddy's boat so it's nice to use up that gas before it goes bad. It's also nice to run all weekend without refueling, the 1000 only has a .6 gallon tank.

A good friend of mine that I work with took his Honda in to get it tuned up for the season. The dealer is installing cold weather kit which consist of device that warms up the air intake. I don't know how this exactly works but I guess it helps prevent it from freezing up.

      Not sure how they did the wood back then, but now they have plastic I'm sure you could bend into a circle if yea needed. 👌

      Fish Newton lake is great for walleyes. Everyone goes to basswood and forgets about newton. The late fall pike bite in pipestone is amazing and it’s a great time to catch the big walleyes are up there feeding too.

      It would cost you 830 bucks to watch every game this NFL season under multiple platforms.   I don't have peacock or espn+ or whatever they want me to have, so I'll just have to relent on being able to watch a few games.  I refuse to cave in to their demands just to watch the Packers play the Eagles in Brazil.  I think last year peacock had the exclusive rights to the Miami/KC playoff game too.  I'm sure that will occur again in January.

      Well it's a win, but it wasn't to Purdy with all the turn overs and penalties!

      Another prediction.   Under the cloud of "Woke Inclusion" Just like the Mn state flag and the Mn Twins, the Vikings name will be going away in a few years! Their already making them look like Snow flakes!  We can't have the uniforms of angry Norwegian people!  Sounds funny but. Wait for it! 😒

      New frontiers.  Expand the market; make more money.  Despite some PR moments, they’re not in it for charity.   BUT, they might want to take a moment and see how that worked out for NASCAR.  Not that having to buy premium channels to watch races was the only problem but it sure helped kill the fever for a lot of people.

      Get ready. Any bets in a few years the average Joe NFL fans aren't going to be able to watch their local teams, unless it's pay for view!  Sounds like their greasing the wheels now.  There are 5 international games this year! ☹️ "The NFL will play a regular season game in Madrid, Spain in 2025, as the NFL prioritizes global growth and expands the International Games to new cities and markets around the world."
