I would NOT do this until right in front of his home port in case anything does let go, no sense putting that added stress on everything that far...
I agree, you are not going to get in your holding tank and clean it, nor should you need to. The raritan additive is a good option. Another...
Wastegates are fine...... 25/26 lbs of boost is what you should be seeing....You're just heavy with the tender....why come back with full water?

I still think everythings fine and you just were overloaded.
It's true, it's much cheaper but he has been researching re-powering and talking about it for a while now and really wanted to re-power.
If you major them, you won't end up repowering for a long time. If you REALLY want to repower, I would just do it rather than major one. It's a...
