This sounds like one of those things that people will reminisce about for years, saying, "It seemed like such a good idea...at the time."

Nevertheless, if it goes well, please be sure to update this post.

If this goes poorly, please have someone handling your estate update this post.

To that end, perhaps you could write this website, your login id, and password on a yellow sticky and leave it on your dashboard at the marina?
LOL!

I'm sure all will be well--at least in that I doubt I'll blow anything up. But thanks for the kind thoughts .

As I noted earlier: This seems to be a fairly common procedure. There's nothing all that esoteric about transmission fluid--it's basically just very light oil (5W or so?) with about 4 times the detergent of motor oil. Or so I've read and been told.
