The white tape is for holding the fuse in there for the test, I had to make the wire harness longer and for got to disconnect the battery before cutting the wire *:o

I did not have a short 20 amp fuse so I used a long for now.

I did not have a power tilt switch on the control so for the moment I ran the wire and made my own remote switch I can use from inside and out side *;D *Will get 2 new switches in the spring, for dash and motor

Stainless prop 14 1/2 X 17 *I will have to see what it does?? I had a 15 X 15 1/4 on the others and that gave me pleanty of toruq when I have 800 pound fish and 3 guys onboard!!

Seacrets

You deserve some good luck MJ. I'd part out the Yamaha. You should get $200 for the cowling alone. Then there's prop, lower unit, carbs etc.

Airslot

10-17-2006, 09:57 PM

Trying to save MJ a few key strokes cause he's a busy man...His replacement Yam came apart on the maiden voyage, no need to rehash that one...The Bracket is a Stainless Marine Gil Bracket I'm pretty sure.

10-17-2006, 10:15 PM

Thanks all!! I need all the luck I can get!!

Yes the Yamaha has been sold to a whole saler for $800 so I can't touch it!!
When he ever gets here??

Bracket is stainless marine 29" set back with full swim platform.

Thanks guys!

Formula 27 works great just like Marine Tex, but easier to sand, and you can add color to it, I did not add but looks ok.

5200 is good for stuff, but I found if you use it on deck to cover stuff it turns yellow after a while.

My boat was 20' 6" from the factory, but after adding the bracket and anchor pulpit from front to rear I am now 25' !!

Thats how you streach a V20!! ;D

I know put name on my boat!!

I hate the people that don't know how to fish following me around!!

I keep changing the boat so they don't no me, I was I/O then changed to OB, They Yamaha to evinrude, and now take the bow rail off.

I like to keep them guessing.

Today was the perfect day for fishing!! No wind over cast!!

But I have to work on my daughters car >:(

I took her to see another car yesterday with CB and she said she no wanted it, came home last night and she was on higway and car broke down!!

Now she wants to go back! I said Hell no!! I will see whats wrong with this one first!
