My boat is almost ready to rock and roll.
got the batteries in, topped off all fluids and the bad boy fired right up!
man o man it was a job putting on the drive shower. I had to remove the mounting bracket that bolts to the outdrive that connects to the mayfair hydraulic steering rams.
Then I had to drill two 3/4" holes through stainless steel and boy that was a JOB! I drilled two smaller pilot holes to make it easier and I'm glad I did. Then the mounting hole in the drive shower didn't line up right with the outdrive bolt hole, so I had to drill another hole in the top of the drive shower bracket...but it's on.
tomorrow: a new coupler for the electrical connector from the trailer to the truck and a coat of wax on the bad boy, put the carpet in and all the rest of the junk that has got to go on the boat.
I'm wiped....time for a drink!
