Aaah fun stuff...
I had the boat inspected before I bought it 2 months ago and everything was ok with it.
While cleaning the teak inserts this afternoon, on a hunch, I checked the level and oh surprise, white-ish smelly residue on the dip stick...
It turns out the fluid is two years old. I'll change it and hope its just "normal contamination". I also opened the impeller housing cover and its all painted over from the 2008 rebuild...
I guess no boating tomorrow morning while I change fluid, impeller and probably engine oil and filter !
My slice of life for today...
