Have I mentioned how cool it is to have a brother as badass as you are? |
Thx brother!
Kelly I just found the owners manual for the dinghy motor.. Its not the repair manual you need but you should still have it. PM me your address and Ill send it to you.

Got to have two to flow proper like while staying on the boat. The old/orig hatch was a PIA to operate and had been painted so allowed no light to cabin. 90% the wife is on hatch duty. If it ain’t easy, and smooth, she won’t do it. So main hatch is now quality Bomar/e-Bay unit and do is second, added hatch. Another instance of rock solid, 34 yr old balsa core. Say what you want about Checkmates but I ain’t found no rot yet. |
Nice

Thx Cary.
I know on timing... Im burning out but trying my old trick of switching tasks to keep it interesting. As I sold of the I/O pts, I bought supplies for the project, to be installed later. Im to the point on the bracket to where I need about 3 days of gonzo glass slinging. You have two days to overlay glass for it to be a chemical bond and not just mechanical as it would be after 2 days. So I dont want to start until having a 3 day window and w/the weather, and having to keep the shop warm to cure the glass. Treated myself to a break yesterday and titled/licensed my new from Fla scooter. Being an out of state title t.fer it has to be inspected. So I either strap it on a trailer and tow it there, or........ pull my old, expired ('2013) Fla bike tag off the wall of the shop and update it w/a marker. I chose the latter. Was a balmy 42* here yesterday! Has been a buuuunnnnccchh of yrs since I dressed for cold weather riding. What a hoot!

Nice to have a break to get remotivated... Good thing we have some off season down time to work on our boats. All you need is a heated garage. I'm so blessed to have just that at my house to get all the rigging done.
