I wont worry about the speedo gauge. But since i have the water pressure hookup already on the motor i will hook it up.
Been a busy weekend, drove to Louisiana Saturday, went to Kenner first to get the cowling, then spent the rest of the day in Houma, mom is originally from Houma so she hasn't seen her family in a while.
While i was in Kenner, talking with the guy i also scored a used stainless tilt tube for the 2.5L. Got up this morning and spent about three hours changing the tilt tube. Ended up taking a transom bracket off because the tube was stuck in it and free in the swivel and other bracket. Got everything back together and greased, put the lower cowling together, and now she looks as good as she runs. I also got the harness and gas hose/drive cable grommets for the lower cowling, is there a rigging tube adapter available that mounts where these go?
Also just discovered a pouch on the inside of the cowl. Opened it and there was a pull rope inside. I thought to myself, i hope i never have to try to use that!
