That'll do it! :D Either that or remove the several hundred litres of Poole rainwater that was trapped between the floors unknown to me at the time! (it had never happened before - took over two days to all run out :( )
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Aahhh, now being familiar with the Broom buoyancy tank - have you noticed that they always seem to have two bungs at the back? The original - and the one that everybody adds underneath it in the sealed underfloor section. How/where does the wet stuff get in there? That's what I want to know :?
