I look forward to you taking some and we also purchased our first digital video recorder last month and I'm getting the hang of using it.
My question is how do you post the video online? Do you have to use a source like You-Tube?

Dave,
Did you say you still have the pattern for the bracket on the power steering reservoir?
I spoke to Latham and sent them a picture and they recommended that I raise it up to a point where the top of the bend in the hose off the pump is not higher than the lowest point of the reservoir and they believe that will solve the problem. According to what I described to them there is still air in the system and they don’t think it will purge out they way it is currently.
I think 1-1/2 inch up would work put we would be safer at 2 inches.
Let me know if you can easily make a new one, if not I will have one of my local shops do it.
Thank you
Doc

Actually that is one of the wife's guns a Colt Mustang 380 stainless with pearl handles. That was her first pistol but she switched to a Lady Smith revolver in a 38 cal as her carry gun of choice.
Here is a list of her personal guns:
Lady Smith revolver 38
Colt Mustang 380
Ruger Mark II 22 cal (standard barrell)
Walther PPK 380 (her James Bond Pistol)
Browning Gold 20 Ga over and under
Ruger 10/22 Rifle Stainless
Plus her trusty air powered pellet pistol that she runs dogs off with that show up in the yard. You don't want to mess with her when she has that pistol out!

Well it is currently 47 degrees here and VERY sunny with a wonderful 60+ degree forecast for tomorrow and 65 for Sunday.
What to do?
I rode the bike to work this morning and it was AWESOME. Even though it really warming up right now it was actually 18.7 degrees when I got up this morning and 20.2 degrees when I hit the road for the office. The ride back home will be wonderful this afternoon.
So I know that I will be pulling the boat out of the garage tomorrow and plan to add a couple of ball valves on the fresh water flush side of the strainers and run the engines a while and shoot some video. I will not be able to go to the lake but at least I will hear the engines roar.
I hope some of you folks get a chance to get on the water tomorrow.

My dad might still get out on the water tomorrow. On top of the water that is! Been talking about doing a little ice fishing on Erie. They've been driving cars, trucks, 4 wheelers and snowmobiles to Put In Bay and Kelleys Island! I have heard it looks like a small city out there of ice shantys. I wanted to take the 4 wheelers over to the islands, but my window of opportunity is closing. We have at least a week of 30s and 40s coming up! High of 47 here in Ohio tomorrow!

I pulled the boat out Saturday and cleaned the shop up which was long over due.
I did get the ball valves installed on the sea strainers for the fresh water flush.
The wife and I hooked up the hose and cranked the motors up and they fired right up immediately. I let each one run at 1500 RPM for about ten minutes and checked everything and all was good. Man they sure sound GREAT.
We had two neighbors to come by and you should have seen their faces when they saw the new motors. It was priceless!
