LOL...all is not perfect though. I had her running in the driveway this morning and headed off to my marina at 2 pm. Backed down the ramp and went to start her on the trailer and the flywheel would not engage. This happened last week also and turned out to be a ground issue....hence the new busbars in the transom by the battery. Well, I was pissed and confused but then I checked the battery and the wingnut had come loose on the negative post on the drive to the marina. Tightened it down and she started up fine. I then proceeded to go for a shakedown cruise......after a slow crawl out my shallow cove at low tide (2 feet deep) I hit open water and all was fine until after about a minute at WOT there was a heavy vibration from the motor and I had to limp back to my slip at low speed to avoid the vibration. This has happened to me before once when I had a ding in the prop. I am thinking the prop is loose as I might have had it off a few weeks ago and not tightened it down fully with a wrench?? Can't remember. Anyway, I am going to reinstall the prop and see how it goes. It is just tricky as I have to do it at a dock unless I want to haul my trailer back there and pull her out again.
