The long shaft motor operates well in all conditions, but I rarely run the thing at sea.
Thanks Scott, I assume this is the 20" long shaft?

I've not been in the habit of removing my motor as being on a mooring I have no access to freshwater for flushing.

When I first started sailing my boat some 12 years ago, I recall the lazerette often filling with water. It hasn't happened much since then. I can't think of what might have changed. I have one of the outboard motor plugs that came with the Ariel but I've not used it much.

Thanks, Ed
