Lower Unit Bummer
So I decided to winterize myself this year to save a few dollars. Everything went well until changing the lower unit lube. The drained lube came out a milky brown...tan (coffee with cream) actually. I went ahead and put new oil in but I guess I'll need to have the lower unit serviced in the spring.
On the up side, it looks like with some more work, the shrink wrap I carefully removed and stored last spring will work again this winter (although it was a bear to string the masts and put the wrap back on alone.) I don't have a place inside to store over winter. This probably sounds cheap of me, but shrink wrap costs about $220+ for my boat. I guess this saving gets re-invested in the lower unit in the spring.
