Mike, that was when I went back to mechanical after all the BS with the stupid hydraulic system. The cable lasted 4 seasons and now its worn internally. Got a new one coming and this time I will add the cable lubrication system so I should get more years out of it.
Even though I need a new cable, 60 bucks versus 500 for a hy. cylinder is not too hard to take.

Quick Dec. I have been using Interlux ACT (Much cheaper than some other brands 130/gal online.) and I've had very good luck with it. The first time I painted, it lasted 5-7 years with only touch ups after the 3rd year. But this time I decided to do the whole thing over again. I still have red under the black so when I see red, its the sign its touch-up time again. This should last for years.

Got the boat back on the trailer Saturday.
Installed the thru hull X-ducer.
The cable should delivered in a day or 2.
I'll do that this week.
Then put in the electronics.
Wash-Wax then SPLASH !!!
