The gimbal assembly is really pissing me off. Took it in the basement, have everything off to remove the ring, except the allen head bolt that keeps the upper pivot pin from sliding out. Have soaked it with PB blaster, applied heat and used one of the hand held impact drivers and all I have managed to do was to start rounding out the allen socket. Found another used unit on craiglist for a reasonable price. Think I will just buy that one.
And on a somewhat unrelated note, the motor on the dory died at the launch yesterday. Giving me codes for two failed injectors. I think the dory will just stay in storage for now. I want to get at least one boat done and running, and the Sea Ray seems like a better, and for the time being, cheaper option.
