    Hot BOOMER! Have the screens ever been pulled off? Lots of stuff can grow behind them and in the bronze thru-hull. Needs to be nice and clean. Buck Algonquin makes a high flow water screen also to replace the standard screen. That will help feed in more water....

    What did the diver find? Anything surveyed in front of the pickup?
    Did the diver just clean the strainers or was aware of a warm issue?
    Did the diver offer any additional comments?

    Make sure the yard removes the screens, cleans up in there, and bottom paints up in there.

    Honestly, I'd pay someone LONG before doing it myself when it comes to bottom paint.....sanding and breathing that crap, getting it all over your skin, etc. etc.

    Great news about the over heat issues. Man you Florida guys really have it bad with the sea growth. Here in Cape May it's not as bad.

    The screens come out pretty easy..If I remember the screws that hold them in are on the end of the bronze base. After you remove the screws, Just take a screw driver and put it at an angle in some of the small holes at random and tap aft with a light hammer or mallet and slide them right out. Then sand the @#$^ out of them , or just get new clean ones from a good boat store. They are not to expensive. You will most likely see lots of junk up under where the screen was for you to remove with various tools. Work the seacock too, and make sure you can see the ball open and close fully , sea crud needs to be removed from there too.

    Sounds good. You know ,the yard workers won't do as good a job as you will , cause it's not there boat and unfortunately many don't give a hoot ,they will leave stuff behind.
    Boomer ! give those boat orifices of yours a good reaming! You can do it!;)

    We have the yard (Huckins) vacuum-sand the bottom. Then the wife and son pour the ablative paint on.
    After all the years watching 3 yards apply paint, we learned to do it our selves. Hence 3-4-5 years between bottom jobs.
    Of course we have a diver dust off the ablative paint and scrub the running gear. The paint, just takes a dust off or a good run to clear it self.
    So far here in the fresh water, all clean. Installing weaker alloy zincs when the props are re-installed.
