Update: Great family afternoon out sailng in a light breeze. Temp nominal.

-Temperatures under constant load 3.5 to 4.5 knots for 1 hour motor out; stayed in nominal range. Today that meant rarely above 150 F.

Motor seems to be running cooler than before the kelp blockage. Maybe some other pressure points released during the over heating pressure and event? Too early to tell.

-Maybe 3/4 drops from plate during entire motoring time in and out of gear about 2 hours. No noticeable leak after engine shutdown.

-Thank you Ken at MMI for callback on O rings. And I ordered replacements today.

-Thank you all for helping me come this far. More work to be done from this episode. And great to be back on the water.

Until next. Fair winds.
