Slightly Twisted's new project

[Slightly_Twisted]

Well with the new project home and ready for work I figured I'd start a new thread detailing the work. My goal this fall is see if I can get her cleaned up and get a shakedown cruse in. MAYBE if I'm lucky and everything goes well, I can use it during hunting season to get to some remote public hunting areas no one goes to.

I just ordered a new water pump kit, took me a few hours to find the right parts. I know its just a 115 power head with a different mid shaft/bracket but its damn hard to find much on sea drives. I was definitely little lost at first.
The biggest problem is going to be the gas. I opened the fuel tank to see much was in there and was surprised to see it was almost full. I called the local recycling place that takes oil and they said I could bring in old gas but no more then 4-5 gals every few weeks. Any more then that I would have to pay and it was close to 30$ a gallon!! If I'm right there is about 40-50 gallons in there (if its a 60 gal tank). I guess I'll just store it and slowly bring it in. MJ said its 5 plus years old gas, so I'm not going to put it in any of my cars just to make sure I don't create another problem.

Next on the list is to change the lower gear case lube, batteries, order a cover, and de-carb. Not sure when I'll get all the parts but I'll take a few pics as I'm doing to work.
