It was in deed me IFG. Was that you with the red bayliner (I think) in the driveway?
What no one honks anymore BLM??[
] I'm not going to post a real report but I'll tell you guys how I faired.
Nightmare #1. Got ready to leave house and no trailer lights. Checking all my wiring and finally found a short on a running light.
Nightmare #2. Get to Willard, put the boat in the water and no power trim? WTF???? Again chasing wires all over the place before I found a loose connection on the back of the toggle switch.
Nightmare #3. Being the first time having the boat out this year I wanted to run around for awhile to ensure she was going to run. Boat was running great (thx Danzilla[
]) so I decided to try the island first and I was marking quite a few fish on my finder (thx Kent[]). Grab my rod and reach for my tackle box and WTF???? Wheres my tackle box??? At home, in the garage where the wife put it?? GRRRRRRRRRRRR
Nightmare #4. After running around for awhile more I decided to call it a day with my tail between my legs before god himself struck me with a bolt of lightning. So boat back on the trailer and out of the water, go to raise the motor and nothing but the purrrr of a dead battery. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. So I try to call the wife to bring me a pair of jumper cables and she isnt home. So I sit their for about an hour until I finally find the relief valve thingy to raise the motor by hand, Ofcourse I have no clue how to bleed the system, but I'll figure it out I guess.
SO that show I did[crazy]
