tonight i lifted the motor out enough to change the oil/filter...while the motor was out, i took the rear motor plate off and cleaned up some edges and put another set of washers behind the starter to space it a little more...cleaned out the bilge which was a mess of metal shavings and i found terrys roll of duct tape down there too soaked in gas oil and water.
also i routed and terminated all the wiring...hooked up the bilge pump and the volt gauge....everything is a go electronicly. thanks again terry.

steering cable/helm comes wednesday...so does the evac system...exhaust goes to embee thursday for ceramic....
I'm takin tomorrow night off to go play with the lady and go see some bands at the galaxy.
