Back from the Keys! Phatt told me what you said about tilting her up alittle. That did work. Along with a linkage adjustment for the trigger. He left a week later than me to come down. I paid a tech $25 to trouble shoot the ignition and he said the motor had a weak trigger. I guess boat are like computers, your better off learning how to fix them yourself. Thank god for shop manuals.

Rap, Thanks for that. Thats the experieced advice that counts. I would have kept on idling that baby tilted down till I killed all the mosquitos. Then what would all the stores in the keys sell? Well, bait and still tons of ice.

Rap how was the Florida trip to the cape? I guess we passed you on our way down. But I was thinkin you were havin some bad weather on your trip. I hope you caught some fish though.

Re: Mercury or Mariner motors
 

Yeah, post the Dolphin pics...talk about fine dinin'!... ;D 8)...

Cape San Blas...gotta be one of the neatest places!...got into some blues, trout and some others...never went out front...only flat days, nobody to go...bummer, but still in heaven so no complaints... ;D...

Let me know next time your around. I'll drive from Panama city to the cape and go. Or you can drive up here and we'll catch some kings, spanish, and pull up some snapper and grouper.
