Drained & refilled the lower unit prior to storage. To make getting the top plug screwed in faster I loosened it while filling instead of removing completely. Thought it was out far enough to let out air/oil but as I was filling, the oil came out a "weep hole" in the side of lower unit & from the prop. Then loosened it more & it spewed out from plug (from pressure). I'm confident I got plenty in the lower unit but wondering if I screwed up a seal around the prop area by forcing the oil out there. Never seen it come out o' there before. Any comments to share?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
