Port City has probably the easiest/best docking of any restaurant on the lake. The dock is well inside a long no wake zone and there's plenty of room to maneuver.
Ahh that makes sense; it would be fine with umbrellas I think. They didn't have any out when we went and it was pretty hot.
Personally I like Port City club if I want something more than Blue Parrot type food. - super easy to dock there. Only downside is that it's a hike for me
Just tried North Harbor club for the first time the other day. Really nice place with items other than "bar food". It must get brutally hot outside on that deck in the summer though; it was really toasty when I was there a couple of weeks ago
Thanks for the tip Lazy Daze - I'll ask the marina mechanic about that. He told me to just pull the 4 plugs I ended up pulling. I'll recheck the manual also.
I have a 2002 Sundeck 240 with the 5.7 EFI (260 HP) and mine has the 4 blue drain plugs. 2 on the block (1 on each side) and 1 on the bottom of each manifold.
FWIW - I had mine fully winterized by the marina (I dry stack) but I decided to splash early this year (end of february) since it was...
The 350 mag is the 5.7 MPI (not the EFI). The 5.7 EFI makes 260 HP
You can see a list here (My WOT is like 4700-4800 rpm)

Finally got her back in the water today (late afternoon ended being beautiful). I can happily state that my first attempt draining the block and manifolds must have been successful :-)
It's even been freaking cold down here in North Carolina. We actually had some SNOW last weekend (March snow is not common here).... granted it melted in a few hours.
