It was a great run and we are on the way back home. We are sitting in Northern Florida for the night as it is too cold to go farther. You guys may remember that I don't winterize and store in a heated shop so I guess we will just stay here and travel after the sun comes up. Yes I had some trouble but I don't know just how bad it is. I will pull things apart when I get home and will let you know. It is an engine but like I said I will know more later so I will just leave it at that.
Did I mention that we had a blast.

Mike,

You won't freeze anything in the short amount of time it will take you to get home.

Hope the engine thing is minor.

Did I mention I was very jealous that I couldn't go?

I think you are right but It is going down to 13 tonight and I couldn't make it home till 4 if I drive straight through and I'm not in a hurry anyway.

And I almost forgot, where's the sea-strainer wrench???

I mean in all of the other obvious places you would keep it.

I understand same engine..same header..same hose.
What gives??
never the other side.
I have never seen other thunders or even other brands that have to stop so often because of seagrass in the strainers and the temps rising. again why the same engine ..why not both??
I do believe until it can be solved I would carry a gross or two of those hose/fittings.
