so i pumped the tank dry and got about 25 gallons of sh!t gas that i don't know what to do with. i could see there was plenty of crao on the bottom of the tank so i decided i would run it for a few hours, try to stir up all the crap in the tank and then i would swap out the filter.
also got a set of plugs i wanna swap out. $30 buck for a set of plugs. but the dam thing is running so right that i don't wanna rock the boat (pardon my pun). well, one thing at a time. today on the way to the inlet, i'm gonna take the easy way out with the trim tab fix. the starboard tab came loose from the hinge. i don't know the exact configuration of the hinge, so i'm gonna remove the 3 screws that hold the cylinder to the transom and pin the port side tab to the neutral position. it's a quick fix and it should get me through the season without having to haul her out to find a more permanent solution.
