I know they had a blower apart I could the blue goo squeezed out the front of the drive housing.

And I don't get scared.

I think Mr_V was right about the shot gun approach. You're gonna get billed for 3 caps/rotors, 4 sets of plug wires, 3 map sensors, 3 IAC motors.... The dude probably had his push cart loaded up with parts before he went down to the boat! Brett called me, he said the dude was like screw the scan tool I'll just start swappin till I find it!

Just kiddin, glad everything is fixed! Let's go boating!

I told them to do all three motors again. I don't know what to trust and what not to. I never cut corners on the boat I'd rather throw out a good part for peace of mind than possibly put someone in danger because of losing an engine offshore when I need it.

Last weekend took the kid out for her first ride in a 41, what a disaster, she refuses to wear that Lil Mustang life jacket on the boat.
Going to give it another shot today this time on the Navesink, 18ft boat leaving from Barnacle Bills, it should be calm water in that area today. Hope it works out
