    Post a pic of your starcraft!

    Beautiful! Hey, would you be able to post a few of the interior and bow. I think yours may be similar to mine, and I'm thinking of painting my outside to be a seafoam green like yours.

    Propane Heater in Boat?

    I thought it was illegal to have a propane tank in the boat. But if it's not, it seems pretty dangerous. https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2022/03/bill-monroe-living-vicariously-through-a-thrilling-salmon-catch.html?outputType=amp

    Well, mine does smell like gear oil. Good, clean gear oil. That was really the only real take away - the gear oil in my lower unit smells good. Good as in it's good - nothing wrong with it.

    Regular maintenance - change just the impeller or entire housing too?

    I don't want to hijack this thread, just asking a supplemental question. Do you guys put a little grease on the impeller fins when replacing it? If so, any type grease? Vaseline work?
