It ran two hours today after starting easily. If you Google San Diego Harbor you can see where we went. We went from the Marina behind Harbor Island over to Glorietta Bay, under the bridge and up near the Hotel Del Coronado, the Coronado Yacht club basin. Most of the trip was made at 1500 rpm, about 10MPH, slowly enough that we were able to negotiate the BIG waves and wakes without scaring my wife! ha

It is running more smoothly all the time. Now it idles slowly enough that shifting is not a big clunk-- and of course it doesn't die when shifted from neutral to either forward or reverse, so I was able to deftly maneuver out of and into the slip. All good--so far! ha. My wife said I am becoming a boat handler, ha.
