I just want to go fishing. Great idea using the flashlight at night, I will definitely do that.
He gave me the full shop manual for the outdrive so I think I am good there but it would still be nice to have the pdf. I will pm you. Thanks!
I don't think it has been really gone through since he installed it 6 years ago. It has 280 hours on it. I was going to do the impeller as soon as I get it home.
Thanks, Keith
