I didn't have time to join the rest of the Alabama jet boaters yesterday on Lake Martin, but after a very late start we joined some friends in the afternoon on Lake Guntersville to eat at one on the on water restaurants and play. While in the marina, we noticed that all the shallow areas around the docks were full of grass. So between docking to eat and refueling at no wake speed my pumps were full of the stuff. So I got to use my clean outs for the first time since taking ownership. In less than 60 seconds we were back under way. Those two plugs, IMO, make a Yamaha hard to beat.
 
Also learn the reverse move ,saves a lot of time and usually works pretty well.
 
I'll remember that for next time.
