Glad it was an easy fix. Can t believe they came over when you had the engine cover off.
Around here, if you think your gonna get checked, just stop, take your cowling off and start waving, they ll turn 90 degrees and take off as fast as they can. |

LOL Sounds like you're talking about NJ's Marine Police. Coast Guard is pretty good around here, but I wouldn't give you 2 cents for the MP's.

Glad it worked out for you. Towed you back to within 1/2 mile and then left you to paddle? I tried to paddle the PD once. It was an exercise in futility.

Yeah, its definitely a struggle! once we got it moving wasn't too bad. If it will stop raining for a few hours i'd like to try it out again. Its rained almost all day every day here for almost a month! Its been the wettest summer I can remember in at least 40 years!

Finally got to take the V out yesterday. Ran the same course as before, ran perfect! Never got over 165 degrees. No problems ! Enjoyed a beautiful hot day on the river with my wife!!
