Thanks!
As of last month we have 10 hours break in time on the new engines. Just in time for the SCOPE video and photo shoot run. In the morning went to get gas. The dock dude started the pump and I went to the restroom. I come out and my friend is holding up the pump handle and yelling "it broke off". Not awake yet.....I was "huh"?
As I got closer, I saw that the nozzle was gone. He said.....I think it went inside! We couldn't see any thing so we grabbed another and tried to fill the tank so we could still make the video run. It filled fine so we figured we'd address it later. LOL
My mechanic Eric (Maveric Marine) found the nozzle in the inlet hose still just before a 90 degree turn. As it turns out, he decided to replace all fuel hoses and vent hoses while we were at it.
Lake Mead over the labor day weekend......I felt a tick tick tick when the port drive was in forward. As it turns out, I think I damaged the drive during the run. A tooth broke and metal shavings ran though the upper and lower. I'm getting a new lower and remanufactured upper. Boating sometimes sucks.

Wow Nort...Kinda Sucks! Glad it wasn't motor related...Got a little tick, tick, tick myself to explore over the winter. Fix it, you boat year round anyways, right?

Motors are super solid so that is good. Not sure what we're going to do in the big picture. The big boat we might go bigger and go smaller with this boat.
I ordered the cup holders form the new steps from what's his face and he talked me into the billet handles too. Neither the cups or the handles fit so I need to give him a call and see what's up. Fun fun!
