That sounds pretty good! Did you catch any Tuna?
FYI - I had a small glitch with my 140 recently - the ground wire broke off - aparently it was wired very tightly at the factory - and as I was bouncing around in the swells off Beavertail - it snapped.
Luckily - the alarm system functioned perfectly - A quick consultation with the owners manual told me that the flashing motor light with the intermittent beeping meant an electircal issue. I couldt find anything obvious so began to head for a safe harbor. I made it all the way to greenwich bay before the engine had completely drained the battery and quit.
Scott found the problem right away and had me fixed up in no time. The battery recharged and no damage was done to the motor. He said he hadn't seen that happen in 6 yrs - but that he'll be checking all new engies for it. My guess is that if you haven't had a problem yet - you probably wont - but thought you may want to be on the look out for it. The ground wire is on the port side - in the wiring harness just aft of the fuses. The point where it connects to the block (and where it failed) is not easily accessible
Any bites on the boat yet?
