After a long labor day weekend in which I put some hours on my 15 SX192, I got the boat up and just opened the engine hatch to give it a look over I saw a loose bolt sitting on top of my oil filter...took me a few minutes to figure out where it came from (the backside of the filter.)

I put it back in and in snugged back up no issue, I've seen posts about some bolts shearing off, all the others seemed tight. When it cools down a bit here I'm going to go over the boat and put a wrench on every bolt I can get to, just passed 100hours.

Good catch. Changing oil and winterizing this weekend, will need to give everything a once over.
