Out for a Quickie



LaLeLu is no stranger to the sling. She's been hauled out five times in the two years that we have owned her. Watching your 22k pound boat suspended from nylon straps is not for the faint of heart. No worries - everything went well.



This time we hauled her in order to permanently fix the shaft seal (that started giving us trouble in November). Mark of Marine Pro, who probably knows LaLeLu's running gear/engine better than anyone else on this planet, installed a new shaft seal. Chris took the opportunity with the boat out of the water to scrape the barnacles off and install a new sacrificial zinc to the shaft. She's back in the water and ready to go!
