880 now john

 The motors sit very low in the water so the bottom of the pumps are in the water and is washing all the grease out of the seals which has caused the seals to melt inturn sucking water into the oil pump when in the water .pain in the ass id I had to remove the whole power head to get to the pump

Lucky you're mechanically minded or it would be real expensive.

 Still to far away to tell

 Still to far away to tell ,if your fishing each day the winds need to be light.but we will still go with 20knot wind .We just free dive around the islands and go out in the dingy ,no need to move the big boat . but in saying that time and date weather looks OK.
