My local lake had a recent level increase and we had a lot of wood floating today. That combined with a nice chop from today’s wind made some of them very difficult to see and I busted a rather large log end first at 52 mph (at least that’s where my speedo pegged). There does not appear to be any structural damage to the lower or prop. My engine did not get warmer than 87 degrees the rest of the day so when I got home I cleaned both stats, the poppet, and the compressor strainer as well as flushed through the port next to the tell tale. Tomorrow I will pull the lower and check the water pump and clean the remainder of the wood pieces out of the nose pickups.
Should I anticipate having to do this several times before everything is clear? Any tips on cleaning the speedo pitot? Is there anything else I should check?
