Just ran across this yesterday in New England:

Thanks Mark, that's exactly what I needed! I'm still trying to sort through motor types for the sportboat and what will work best for my situation. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Brett, I may have a set of those at home I would be willing to give you if I can find them! I will try to remember to leek this weekend, but please remind me if I don't! Seriously, bug me until I give you a definite yes or no.
Mark,
Thanks so much for that video. Made me a lot more comfortable with the thought of a mud motor on the sportboat. One more question though!
What was the deciding feature that turned you to the PPF?
I'm assuming the large pipe coming out of the motor cover is for the drive? Is it a transmission with forward and reverse? Or engage/disengage? I would love to see more pictures when the motor cover is off.
So I got curious about Filson, and if they still made my favorite strap vest and started shopping. And found this: https://www.filson.com/foul-weather-jacket.html
So yes I just bought a large. If anyone else has low impulse control I thought I would share.
Bob, on that lick sleeve that's great you found another. One of the problems I had was mine's a male with bad aim! Hopefully your female doesn't have that issue.
As an FYI mine has recovered fully, and if you stick with the plan I'm sure your girl will as well.
The TPLO process is the way to go, my 4 year old shorthair had it a year ago. You're 100% correct on the rehab, it's a painful process for both of you and patience is needed. For me the worst was keeping them down after the first 4 weeks when he felt ready to go. Just a hint, the Lick Sleeves...
