   Went done to the lake today to do a bit of housekeepeing. Checked  the boat out, 95 SNOB with 1.23 tranny. I am heading back down next weekend to change the oil/tranny fluid. 

   I have always used the suck it out..add it back method. bUT, i RECALLED A POST A WHILE BACK FROM eRIC lAVINE ABOUT DISCONNECTING THE (000PS CAPSlock sorry) tranny line to the cooler and starting it up to pump it out. 

   How does this sound: Add a couple of extra quarts of DextronIII, warm the boat up, stop motor, remove tranny line, place in bucket, start motor and run in neutral until no more fluid comes out. Shut down motor, replace fluid line. Add DexronIII. This sound ok? How much fluid should I have to add to be about right? 

Thanks guys, I just want to make sure i start the year out right. Kids want to try and ski next week, spring break....I might even give it a go! Put on a new prop! Thanks to all!
