Motor ran as it should this morning, thanks all for the advice. I won't say it ran perfect on start, but settled in within a few seconds and ran well the rest of the day.
I mostly wanted to visit some of my favorite spots seeing that this may be my last trip out there. I wanted to see some places where long dead dogs made their first or last retrieves. Think back on all the rocks I've hit and didn't lose a lower unit. Check out all the places that I think are great spots that never produce. I did find a couple pockets of birds in spots where they often are, but in the end just came home early without loading the gun or putting a decoy in the water. Beaver would have preferred I shot something. I'm glad I don't have any ducks to clean.

I can relate.
