Well long time no post, but progress has been slow but steady. But since my last post I have sold a house and moved into a rental. Now going to move again 6months after last move), and changing jobs. Also have to find a house at new job. So a lot has happened but not a lot on boat. What has been accomplished is remote has been rebuilt, carbs rebuilt, filters changed, thermostat changed and going to replace lower gear oil and water pump next week. I have the dash, gauges and steering connected. Gas tank installed and connected, but going tho replace fueling between tank and motor. Which brings up a question. The fuel water/filter is mounted in same compartment as battery and fuser panel, should it not be mounted some place not so close to a potential ignition source? Pics to follow when i get a chance.
