All went very well with the survey- oils samples came back acceptable on everything except the starboard transmission- need new duck bills on vaccuflush and other general maintenance items , but all in all, she’s a sound boat. Found one small blister on the port side during the haul out...

Need help please experienced folks - please see the attached transmission oil sample reports. Please note that the boat operates flawlessly- no clank at idle shifting from forward to reverse, and no vibration through the extensive sea trial. Had 2 different mechanics say that these issues could...
