In all due respect...
Which brings me to a really good tip for everyone.
Ok.., everyone reading this put up your hand if you've done the following: (no fibbing)
Clean your water intake strainer, and then forget to open up your water intake through hull, untill you reach the "oh sh*t" moment when you realize your exhaust isn't putting out water.
Well, here's a great tip:
Every time you shut off your engine water intake through hull, tape your ignition key to the through hull handle.
You'll either spend 2 weeks trying to remember where you left your key, or you'll go "oh yes, good thing I did that"
Either way, it is an excellent procedure for aging memories (such as mine)
It 's a horrible idea. I can guarantee you that out of 100 people doing this, 5 would launch, and forget to put in the dummy plug. It's because firstly, we're all human, and secondly launch time is usually a big rush with lots of stuff going on at the last minute.Wouldn't it be a grand idea to just pull the transducer/s and or plugs and leave the hole open for the winter? Allow any water out and air in to help keep the boat dry. Just saying
