Either rebuild my engine control or buy a new one.
Install new cables either way.

Its a short list this year. But I'm sure more will be evident when i uncover.

I have a 101 lb thrust MinnKota I-Pilot on backorder. My current one (for sale) works fine, but this one has gps, so it will spot lock and hold you on a spot, track lock and repeat tracks and directional lock; which will free me up a bit to focus more on fishing and less on boat control.

If anyone is interested, new board in my current one last year, take $400; 36V, bow mount, hand controlled, RipTide saltwater series, 62 inch shaft.

Well, I found out the problem with having a boat house. You guys will maybe remember that I built a 1000 sq ft boat garage last year. I have spent at least 1 day a week in it working on the boat. Aside from painting the bottom I am ready to launch. I now have nothing to do for the next 9 weeks.

No boat, back in the suds.

Install Garmin HD radar
Upgrade transducer
Install electric trumpet horns on hardtop
Install a larger compass
Install an electric head pump conversion kit (for the Admiral)

and then whatever else I find needs to be done after the shrinkwrap comes off (hopefully not much!)
