Helps a lot.

I think I still have one of those sprayers,,,,,,,,,,,,, better not toss that away.

Thanks for the mix, I used to use something close to that with water on my old outdrives to keep the hard water stains off. Sounds like a good idea.

When you say flush the brakes, you mean the drums and disk, not the fluid right?

Great info

Don't want to steal your thread Dave,,,,,,,,, but I am moving to the Sarasorta or bradenton area at the end of the month.

I have flush fuittings on the boat but how do you flush it with salt away? Do you fill a tank like what we use up here for winterizing?

Not yet, may be a few months before I get it down and the work done to it.

I'll really need to have some local knowledge, this is a big change to the type of boating I have done, plus I don't want to end up on some freakin sand bar.

Big learning curve.

Thanks for all the input guys, not 100% sold on Florida but also dreading the thought of winter. Frequency we run the Illinois between starved rock and peoria, we are in an orange Baja stop by if you see us beached. What do you spray on the motor a fog of WD-40? What do they hit you a month to dry stack?

Well let us know when you get here. You might even want to consider keeping your boat at a dry stack, 10th street can get kind of crowded on summer weekends.
