Need to vent
 
Need to vent! Pulled the Velocity out of storage last Friday. Rained all day Sunday. Spent the next three days compounding, polishing and waxing. Was going to launch today. Went to put the prop on and no prop nut or washers. Always take the prop off for winter storage and replace the nut and washer on the prop shaft. Somebody must have swiped them! I figured no problem, pick up new at a local marina...oh no, nothing local and nothing in Buffalo NY. So the boat sits in the street instead of on the lift.

Sorry about that, I always have several sets laying around in stock. I am a little coo coo about that.

Spare water pumps, fuel filters, water serperators, belts, oil filters etc. I hate to loose time waiting for parts.

$10 you got brain/hand disconnect and it’s nearby somewhere. I’m plagued with this disease, i know it so well I should have a PhD in it. :)
