Yeah yeah yeah! You're Right on, Brian, but 20 minutes pulling a battery outta the truck and putting it in the boat Mine was good to go, until the bolt fell outta the reverse bucket cable late in the day (Oh how exciting, and exhilerating, that was!!! Anyone on the boards see that?) THANKS RALPH! for the bolt and nylock nut! Dunno how or why that happened, but since I just put a PD on it before the trip, I'm going to have to assume it was my own fault!
Thing almost tossed me outta the boat when that happened!
As I remember 3 of us got towed in, lol, two catastrophic cases on untested engines, really. From what I gather neither of those are that catastrophic, so was a good weekend. Even Omar fixed his Creamsicle by just switching tanks.
What fun!!! If you do the math, we had a very low failure rate out there. Sure a few had problems, even the *cough* outboard boat, but the minor issues were TCO PDQ!, (Again, Thanks Ralph and Keith for both of your expertise), And I think we all had a good time. Tony and Jimmy seemed to run without a hitch at all! So did Brad, Glasscutter (John), CJ222, many more. No Spilled oil, lol.
Ray
