Default *$&%# boats!

My friend visited us this weekend for the long weekend. We get ready to
go fishing, and so, of course, we need to mount the trolling motor I
bought on the bow. No great correct accurate good looking mount, mind
you, we're in a hurry. So we shoot some quarter inch lags into the ratty
plywood that's there with a promise to make it better next week or
sometime after that.

Then the damn motor wouldn't work. It worked fine when the guy
demonstrated it where I bought it, which was from a craigslist ad. He was
even a cop. *******.

So we putzed a little, then decided to go watch drag racing.

Tonight, after he left, I took the bottom plate off the foot control, and
the last doofus in there had put one of the wires behind the in/out lever,
and the first time the foot pedal was depressed all the way, it pulled it
off the spade.

Crap. A missed fishing trip. Instant fix, rerouted the wire, plus
squeezed all the other spade connectors tighter. Works like a charm.

Well, at least now I have a good excuse to go test it.

Time to do some fishing. Time to do some work on the boat, too.

Anyone here have a boat?

Steve
A pontoon and 2 sailboats. 1 too many.

I've stated here many times about fleet of several boats, including the
36' Zimmerman like lobsta' boat. For some strange reason, I only have
pictures of my Parker, though.
