Slight derail:

Haven't tried it on jock itch.

I had a thought of my wife walking into the shop while I was testing that theory.... "What-in-the-hell-are-you-doing :elephant: !!!!?????" :shock:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I have a 175, 2000 vintage, 90 HP Johnson.  
    Nice boat, big motor, not worth the chance to do it myself.  I pay $200 every year to have it professionally done.   Safe and sound.  And they check for anything I may miss.  this year, water pump and new tires...     then...  take the drains off, tilt it back so any water drains, and it makes it through a New England winter.   I may not, but the boat will be OK....

One area I have found some water is through the fish box inspection port.
There seems to be a little water there which I remove by putting a small towel in to absorb the water.
No heat in it's garage but at least the snow and mice stay out.
Excuse me, I understand some of you have a difficult time with the concept of snow.
I did mention to my wife that someday it would be nice to livr where the season is longer than 4 or 5 months.
