Something to watch out for.
The black max engine cowl splits vertically, long seam along the top of the cowl. The damn seal can leak. On really snotty days when a lot of spray is hitting the engine, you may find it starting to cut out, especially a low planing speeds. Bring it home and all seems fine. What the???? You can waste a bunch of money on mechanics. What's happening is the coils are getting wet and shorting out. You can see spark in the wrong place running the engine at night on a hose with the cowl off. I used to tape the cowl closed, which helped, but never did completely eliminate the issue. It won't keep you from getting home, just annoying as heck.
