Looking for last week in April, but got a list a mile long and opening the shop next week so we'll see.

Changing out the throttle cable from my inside helm station, always fun doing the squirming around thing.

New Furuno fishfinder, plus transducer, and pretty much a purging of alot of old electrical wiring from old electronics. First owner had just left all the old wires in when he upgraded some of his electronics. Going to take out some older, redundant equipment - cb radio, loran and so on.

Take off the heat exchanger, clean out the tubes, change the water pump impeller, roto-rooter the intake for the washdown pump, change both fuel filters.

Traditional bottom paint along with all the zincs.

Do the engine and tranmission oil and filters/screens after the first run - get her hot.

Fun is....

Too early?

With the beautiful weather of last week, two 60 plus degree days, I almost took the cover off. Glad now I didn't after last week's storm. She needs a cleaning, and I hope it's ready to float. Plan on being at the Weymouth launch before by birthday on April 30th. Nice thing about putting it away right, is there usually are not issues in the Spring.
