Hopefully this weekend, I'll report next week. At least the ski club has a boat in, I went for my first ski yesterday.

Any of you who are in water lucky! Our comp is in getting the new lexan passenger windshield put on, and the new prop shaft, and getting the prop straightened and balanced (My dad has taken if off and straightened it with a ball-peen and a sledge before!). And our E-Scow lift which we had all of two years was literally ripped apart by the ice, and our Shore Station got beat up ($475 of new parts coming in this week!) Not to mention the entire main dock (my grandmothers cottage) has to be fully torn apart and have all the pilings slowly straightened and then rebuild the dock...

What is even more frustrating is that many people north of us, with HUGE docks, went perfectly unscathed...

Oh well, thats life...

But those of you in the water, PLEASE ENJOY IT, and think how lucky you are! haha

Got her in yesterday. New Prop, (lap fitted), new stuffing box hose, repack on the stuffing box, new strut bushings, new shaft coupling, installed a raw water strainer, put the newly rebuilt carb back on, and put her in the water. Unfortunately, it was on my last day at the cottage to actually get the boat in the water and by the time I got the leak on the thermostat housing fixed, I was out of time an only had time blast out to the middle of the lake and back. It won't idle at all, but no time to really mess with it. Now with the new prop properly fitted I can rule out the prop slipping, so I think I'll be rebuilding the tranny (sigh)

For the idle problem. Screw both idle adjustment all the way in and do 2 1/2 turns out for each and go from there. Even at 2 1/2 turns its pretty close to spot on for 600 rpm idle...
