That said, I'm aware I might have to come in on the kicker some day. But I just don't replace good parts.
I was told every three years is a good mtce plan? It's far too late now anyways, but with the amount of hrs my engine likely has towing my son around tubing, kneeboarding and waterskiing, I am sure it/they were likely due anyways?
The last 2 years, with far less hrs put on the boat, I think I will hold off another year or 2 if I am due this year?
