We're going to break 50 degrees today, and the sun is shining brightly!

Took my Merc in for service last week. Had been running on only one cylinder for the past two summers, but didn't figure this out till late last year... she always started right up, and I hardly ever use more than half power, so I didn't really notice it until I needed a bit extra push, and the motor would bog out & die. I have the repair guy looking for a new low pitch prop as well.

Need to pull the sink fauset / pump and figure out what's wrong with this in preparation for getting the sink working for Miss Pam. Any thoughts on cleaning / sanitizing the water tank?? I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a mess, and I do not have an inspection port to simplify cleanout. Maybe I need to install one...
