..OUR boat…

…HIS trailer…

…MY engine…

We have a lot of fun joking

about this rather fair division of ownership.

 

Francois can’t take the boat on the water without my permission.

And I can’t take the boat anywhere on land without his permission.

 

So today to make MY engine ready for the season

we performed one of the

3 year/300 hours maintenance procedures…

 

…the gear…
 

…upper drain screw removed.

 

 

…lower drain screw removed.

 

 

 

 

…and a lot of yucky crap came pouring out.
How’s that for technical jargon?
 
 
 

Gear case lubricant replacement pumped back in.

 
 
…and just in time!
 
 
…thunder clouds rolled in…
 
 
 
…and the rains came…
 
 

 

…thankful for that little breath of air while we waited out the storm.
