Hey Hans! I literally did just that last week. Had a little oil sitting on top under the oil fill cap. Think a few drips dripped from oil refill during fall change. Used Q-tip to get the last drop out. Sometimes, I sit in the cockpit with one engine cover lifted. "Love the smell of them Crusaders in the mornin' time" :lol: 8-) er

You guys don't keep your engines spotless? Where do you cook your eggs in the morning? I cook mine on the portside intake manifold!

:lol:

Yea, I wish.

Speaking of engine cooking. Used to wrap my hotdogs and buns in aluminum foil and snug the package up to the muffler of my snowmobile when we left for a ride in the mornings. Come lunch time we had hot muff dogs. :-D

Unless you have scantly clad women and a bar down there you can count me out. :captain: I could stay above deck and pass you the Qtips as required but the condition would be a seat on the swim platform and drink service. :lol:
