Splashed her for the first time yesterday. Not long, just a little practice for carol to get used to the extra feet and working with two of things. She has never driven a boat with twin engines. She did an excellent job for the first time. For the most part, things went well. Speedo and the silent choice on the port engine didn't open.

Gizmo, check the hose on the outdrive to see if it popped off. With the cold water etc. they tend to do that on the Bravo's. Mine did the same thing this year so I put a small tie-strap on it to help make it extra tight.

For the silent choice, ensure the big red circuit breaker is not popped on top of the engine and add a little WD-40 to the mechanism. I personally spray the entire engine down after each weekend's use and everything still looks like the day I first brought it home....

Thanks Rick, I will take a look at both. I probably will not get back to the boat until Saturday afternoon.

Winter tends to place gremlins that end up having easy fixes. Never start off attacking a problem on a boat thinking complicated. Good luck...
