The only good thing to say is it didn't take long to figure out the problem

Congrats on getting it wet and just think the next trip will be better. I know whats its like trying do things with the weather, here in Tampa in the summer as soon as you get every out here comes a thunder storm and you scramble to get everything put away again, plus its hard to see with all the sweat pouring in your eyes [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Well,
It finally stopped raining here, and I got it in the water Saturday morning.

Purred like a kitten at low rpm's, and ran super on the top end. Was a very nice morning on the sea, .... untill it was time to put it back up on the trailer when the motor refused to tilt up. It would go farther down, but not up. What a pain that became. Finally was able to loosen the manual release screw so it could be tilted up to get it home.

By Sunday afternoon I worked up the courage to go see what was wrong this time, the problem turned out to be in the tilt limit switch. ... Now she's ready for the water again .... Just as my vacation's over.

Now if I can get a day off after the next couple weeks! (since some one else is on vacation)
