Default Ouch!

You gotta hate it when you got to drill several large holes in your new transom :( But the controlls have to be installed :) :)

Now thats what I call a beefy transon. The plug is 2" thick!


I got my son to come over and give me a hand. He is doing his best Picasso imitation.

The future 2ndChance crew :)

Noticed you have the rain fly up, or was it so you could work in the shade? Billy Mac ;D

The weather map looks nasty for you guys on the East coast. Your project looks really nice. I would think, and there I go again thinking, that the gas bulb would be easier to get to if it were on the out side? Billy Mac ;D

Once I get the engine going again it wont be a problem. The motor has always been an easy starter (usually 1 or 2 oumps on the bulb) and I have to go into the enclosure any way to turn on the battery switch.
