RB - we're dragging the boat down to Hatteras for a few days - leaving Friday morning and returning on Monday.

Yep, replacing everything since the issue seemed to be more than just a broke cable (alluding to the feedback issue).

Skools I know - I should have pulled it but trying to be lazy. ::)

I hope so RAP, I really really do. :-/ I've got the pre-trip jitters. Boat is on blocks in the driveway, steering is a mess and still gotta pack and ready the fishing equipment....


Oh brother where art thou!?!

Pre-Trip Jitters?...mix up a batch of Valium-Martinis, Brother...sip slowly over long periods
, for instance while waiting on Fed Ex to bring yo freakin' steerin' cable and pretty soon the jitters will cease and where thou art won't matter...not even to Art ;D ...

BR look at the bright side if you hadn't gone to the lake your cable would have broke in the ocean while on your trip.

True Reel and Skools...

Cy yes, it has been a fun couple of days :-/ I'm so glad the boat didn't plow into that seawall we were headed for! That would have been really really bad.

Everyone in the boat, and a boat passing by, thought I was a crazy person driving the boat because the way it swerved so quickly toward the seawall. :o
