    Garry, good to know that the screw driver portion of the tiller handle
    are the same between the Sportwin and Fleetwin. I was thinking
    about swapping the whole tiller handle, but …… #1, the Fleetwin
    tiller is 2" longer, and #2, what good is a tiller handle with a good
    screwdriver grip if you can’t unscrew it!

    Your diagrams reminded me of the ball bearings in the tiller handle
    swivel joint…….. and that it’s hard keeping track of three ball
    bearings bouncing on the cement floor at once, all going different
    directions ….. but I found them all 😉

    Just watched someone else’s like Fleetwin on YouTube,
    and they must have drilled a hole in the Welch plug
    on the starboard side of the power head. It sure would
    be easier to see water flow by doing so, but any chance it
    would "starve" portions of the power head of cooling water?
    Guess I need to locate a new impeller before I worry about it!
