Poor weather this morning so I went down and took some pics and video just for this thread.
Photos include:
- plugs NGK XR4.. hotter running plugs. 1 thru 4 from the left.
- ball valve and position that I keep it in.
- hot exhaust that I rebuilt Sept 2010
- muffler ... on the boat when I bought it.
- hose from muffler that exits the transom.

C&C 30 MKI - The engine starts immediately and I haven't had problems with water incursion or overheating. RWC with by-valve and no T-Stat. I trust my engine. Motored home 6 1/2 hours on Sept 4th, no wind but a bit of swell and that engine ran perfect. I ran hard; held 6 kts because one of the kids was queezy and wanted to get back quick.
