I was initially told to leave open so for even draw but closed it last year. The idea of if one is low or contaminated you can share or isolate. 

Lucky you got the boat out and no damage ,it a easy repair and will be back in next week ,I’m looking to launch tomorrow 

yeah never use the steering wheel, just keep it straight. Then go slow and just bump the engines to steer. Duel engine boats are actually pretty nimble. If you are in heavy wind..just make sure you start your movements with the wind drift in mind.

As I tell the CGA every year during my safety check -- it's great to have another pair of eyes review my safety gear at the start of the season. 

IMHO brand new engines would command a higher price. I looked at a boat a few years ago with twin brand new mercruiser 6.2's still under warranty. Boat was not worth $20k more which is what the repower cost, but definitely worth more than the same 2003 boat with 2003 engines. That said, I would not pay a dime more for a boat with rebuilt engines. Too many variables. That boat is worth the same as if it had the original engine with 500 hrs.

1 thing i have noticed on the 270 bravo 3 = always go to neutral for a second or 2 and then to forward or reverse  

Yep. And while in neutral do your wheel turning. Much easier.

Someone should try it with a 342 lmao
