Capt. Mrg.,

Just as soon as it stops raining (!) here in Jersey I will pop out the ol' digital and post you some pix.

I used to remove the 15hp Merc after sailing( lots of Bar-ne-clees here in Jersey). But the new Nissan has too much schmugabooda (cables, wires, clips, brackets-you know) to permit such hauling. So over the winter I carefully applied the special primer/top coat aluminum lower unit anti fouling humbug paint and I'm keeping it wet and hoping for the best.

BTW, learning to back down without twisting the motor about yields some lively, colorful and pucker filled nautical moments.
Be back soon,

Carry on..
