*$&%# 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 |
