Thanks for the tip. And after disconnecting water before turning engine off you should rev that engine a few times semi high to blow out excess water, correct?
After reading and reading about 1.8s snapping timing chains, I've stopped this open Rev practice. I use the boat enough that I'm not worried about clean water sitting. I'm more worried about a broken timing chain. Am I nuts?

Probably. You hang out here with us.

But, as to the revving, I think that is reasonable. Enough well-reasoned opinions on both sides on that issue, I think.

There's a seadek group buy at the end of the summer, I think last year it worked out to a 30%? discount.....
