    Thanks guys! I spoke with my son tonight and he said the exhaust plate was loose. He was on the water all day and will tighten things up tonight.

    But he wanted me to ask one other question: It seems the center bolt holding the recoil assembly repeatedly works itself loose after about 10 pulls. Is there any way to secure it? He has tried locktite, but says there is too much oil for it to grip. Suggestions?

    Steve.
