Blue Note went back to her usual residence for the season. Ran like a top, smooth and sweet cruise at 25 knots. The amount of crap spit out of the exhausts was impressive, even after I had flushed the HEs, after the acid bath they got. She does run cooler- at this time of year, the thermostat is the limiting factor and she seems to be running 175 each side.
Tightening the motor mount top nuts made a big difference- far less vibration. This is something I didn't know to pay attention to, so I'm mentioning it here for everyone else. No harm done, but I will watch them carefully in the future. They work loose over time.
