Took sunday off from working on the boat to watch the live feed from the Key West races:drool:. I'm hopefully gonna work on the boat tomorrow sometime...run power to the trim pumps, run new fuel lines to the motors, hook up all my harnesses and cables...We boat year round and I'd enjoy hooking up for dinner next time your down! Give me a shout :yell: when you arrive and we'll make some plans!!
 
Got some work done on sunday and monday. Both motors are wired up and rigged. New fuel lines have been installed. Batteries have been installed. The bilge wiring has been tidied up, tie wrapped and checked. Port side seat shell is finished and waiting to be re-wrapped in the original vinyl. Trim tabs and pump wired up and working. Filled up with 40 gallons of 93 octane and Penzoil full synthetic....Port side motor fired up for the first time today after being stored for the past 8 years!!! (I'll try to post a video)
Things left to do:
1) Install starboard motor fuel pump.
2) Run power to both motor trim pumps and attach (up/down) leads.
3) Fill, bleed and pressurize hynautic steering system.
4) Fire up starboard motor.
5) Find some props and GO BOATING!!!!
