    The oft discussed outboard extra ballast revealed

    Here is a shot of the 2 pigs of lead from the deep sump , the one to the right would be furthest aft in the bilge .
    These are reputed to be in all outboard models . It looks like there was a steel lifting eye in each one , long coroded away in mine .
    These suckers are heavy , had to use main halyard to get to cockpit .
    I'm cutting them in half with a sawsall and will either remove or use for trimming .
