Bird Nests

[finbully]

This time of year birds are making their nests. It is a good idea to check under your engine cowling and make sure birds have not decided to raise little ones in the cowling itself or in the engine area. If you store your boat outside a simple trash bag used to cover the motor keeps the critters out. They got in mine one year and I could not figure out my loss of performance until I discovered a bird nest it the intake plenum.
