On a positive note.

Safe travels, I sure hope she runs great and you are able to lay down some miles. Warm weather and bikinis sounds nice......

when we un-tilted the boat and looked in the engine compartment all the engine oil had ran out of both engines and was all over the place. When they did the compound turbos the engine vent moved to a different place and it was under the oil level when its tilted. I should have noticed so that is my fault. This pic is of the engine compartment on the high side, it was not near as bad but we had already cleaned most of the other one. All the oil from the high side engine ran through the holes for air and wires to go through and was all over the low side engine.
