Summer Snow is not in the water yet. I spent 3 days (May 18-20) in Corny installing new "through-hulls" and seacocks. These are the fittings that allow your sinks to drain and for engine cooling water to be drawn in from the lake. They are pretty important if you want to keep your boat floating because a failure of the "through-hull" or valve (which are below the water line) can sink your boat. The new parts have been installed and some minor cracks and scratches on the keel have been repaired with 5200 sealant. The sealant takes 7 days to setup so I expect to "splash" on Friday, May 28th.
I am also installing a new engine muffler to get better exhaust/cooling water flow away from the engine. Just a few "boat units" and we'll have a much improved water control system.
