Good luck with it!  Putting the finishing touches on my new backyard deck tonight, then it is back to fishing!

Bad news. my original fears from when I "milkshaked" the oil have been realized. It didnt present itself while idling on the hose in the driveway, but once under load it was obvious I blew a bearing. Back in the garage it goes.  :facepalm: Oh well, now I have a winter project  :shrug9:

Sorry for the bad luck Shawn , I feel your pain,as my boat is in the shop again,with yet another problem. I am thankful we did not have the problem while out on the ocean.
  The upside is you will have a fresh motor for chasing fish next year.
