OK so things are not going so smoothly at Casa de Cutter

The last time my boat was out the PD control buttons just crumbled into dust when I went to use them. JBP sent me a slick new set-up in their usual quick manner. I opened the package just to confirm what it was, and then . . . and then? and then
Well sheeet! I thought I threw the whole package in the boat, so they wouldn't get lost in the house. I knew I wasn't going to use the boat for a while so I just added it to the ol' To Do List.
And of course now, I can't find that stuff anywhere !!!

Its gonna be a loooong weekend.
And soooo, never having been to AVI, what kind of boating am I looking at? Driving to Mojave? Running in front of the casinos until you run out of room? Big cove like Blue Water where you never leave "homebase" if you don't want to? Smooth, shallow, rough? Info pleeze.
