So I'm trying to splash my boat this weekend but the list of the many small things I need done just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
What I have done to get her in is to get the engine wired and running, gas tank in, steering in, and the 2 bilge pumps working along with the nav lights so if the marine patrol decides to stop me.. I have the safety equipment ready. I'm thinking of taking her to the local marina and see what happens before hauling it to the Keys But I guess the details just keep coming. |
Agree taking a shake down cruise is a great idea before dragging her to the Keys and having a issue that ruins your week end.

I can't recall the rule, but I think a fuse to protect the wire within 7" of the battery is required. (AYBC?) At least from an insurance perspective. I have never blown one while cranking, and mine are 175 A. |

It was always a Master Angler , I don't have the experience to convert something like that.
Runs like a scalded dig ...and I mean fast. Need to bleed the hydraulic steering tommorow as it has a lot of Olay. And in the off season I'm getting rid of the scuppers that drain straight vdown but for now I have plugs in them. More to see tommorow |

Tried but could not get the hydraulic steering to work right but we still were able to run up to the local sand bar and had a few drinks. Lots of little things to do but overall I'm pleased

Wow, that looks really sharp! Nice work! Somehow with that color, the cap- which occasionally looks bulky- looks quite nice.
On mine with white on white, the cap seems to stand out a bit, not in a good way. |
Looks Great!!
Congrats! |
