    LOL.
    Small single engine boats are slow and easy like a Sunday Morning.
    At least they are all diesel as the Atomic 4 is becoming a relic! Oh, and one gets way more boat yoga done working on the cramed in Yanmar than walking around all side of the iron horses with standing headroom.

    IMG_3636.jpeg Following up, two of the four turbo studs were indeed broken. The tech who drilled them out pointed out the same thing I noticed - the flange nuts installed instead of the proper nut/washer stack caused the problem. He had to heat and drill out the broken studs. The turbo clamp to elbow also broke and has to be replaced. Good lesson that simple details like the proper washers really matter. Sad that this messed up our keys trip after the same botched job also messed up our Bahamas trip. But we rented a place in the keys and trailered our 17 mako down instead so not a total loss.
