What a Discovery

It was a nice Sunday afternoon a week before Memorial Day weekend. We were having a nice family weekend getting the boat ready for a Memorial Day passage to Freeport and Offats Bayou.

It was while cleaning the Flag Blue AwlGrip topsides that my son noticed the small pools of oil on the surface next to our dinghy. We were seeing oil come from under out boat! They kept coming!

It was a little over 12 months ago I had seen the same thing happen - the day I completed the transaction with the dealer and purchased the boat. The oil was coming from the 'new' saildrive! I knew it then and there.

Within 30 minutes I had the diver on site. The same diver that had been diving on our boats for over 5 years and who had completed every zinc change on MAKO during the past year and a bit. He was kind enough to respond and break in to his Sunday afternoon. His report was damning.

So began the most recent saga of the ownership on MAKO.
