in the morning  :D ;D dont know yet im thinking we will get out of here around 8 ish. we got the PTO on and it runs ok but i know that the motor and the pump do not line up perfectly, close but not perfect its about 1/8" or so off. when we run the motor the pump makes a noise, but after some wearing in it should be fine. more to come

well i dont think she's gonna make it I need to pull the motor plates and drill out the holes or take a rotory file to them and oblong the holes so that it lines up perfectly. I'm not quite comfortable with the noise it makes. Or maby I could pull it down there and see what one of you vets think about it. Safe or Not?

I figure it cost me 50-60 bucks just to get the boat wet. I dont need to be cold and miserable too.
