Slow Very Slow Draining Lower Unit

[knowhowiroll]

F300 - Ambient air temp here is 65 degrees today figured I would drain it since it's not going back in the water this season.

It's brutally slow. Anyone else experience this.

did you pull the top plug also to let air in for it to drain properly

Poke some plastic/weedeater twine into drain hole to open up any obstruction?
Might be a blob of oily/greasy sludge in bottom.....or hopefully not a bearing part or a gear tooth!!!

Have a beer, let it drain. I guess you could attach a Mity Vac to vent hole and put just a little pressure behind it. But that seems a little harried...

When I moved out of Virginia, all that sort of thing disappeared.

I had my shorts and tee shirt today. Smoked a nice Boston Butt for 11 hours....

Tough living...
