Good luck with repairs. I am sure we could come up with a plan B for the weekend and/or tourny.

Hauled out yesterday, bottom cleaned, and dropped to Boat Shop by this morning. Seems I should stick to what I know.... it was a stretched shifter cable. Fortunately it had enough left to adjust, even though it is original equipment. Ready to launch as soon as this system passes, but not upset to being out during this expected blow... Fall back on!

It's a good learning lesson... in the future.. always disconect and manualy move anything that is controled by a cable... I wouldn't trust a stretched cable..what it means is it sliped where it was crimped and is likely to happen again.. cable replacement is the only real cure..
Hopefully it gets you trough the season...
A good run is better than a bad stand!
