New Sig and THANK YOU!

Just testing.... might not look like much but this bow light is the culmination of a winter of work, it being lit means that the new engine is in the boat and all wired up! Almost time for the test run!<br /><br />Thanks to Everyone who has helped me out along the way, 7 months ago I had never worked on an I/O in my life and now I have an installed and aligned brand new engine! The alignment tool goes in with one finger (and boy was it off before I started adjusting it!)<br /><br />Thanks AGAIN!!!!

Those of us who have undergone a boat project and sucessfully completed it know exactly where you are at in your thoughts..<br /><br />With the help of the folks from the tech side I took an empty shell and made it to match my ego.. . Which now follows my SUV to any lake I desire..

Started it for the first time today. Purrs like a kitten. I don't think my ESA is working though... have to look into that. Shifts perfect without it on the trailer on muffs. We'll see what happens in the water. <br /><br />Had a scare, I ran the engine for about 5 minutes or so and shut it down, and there was some oil in the bilge. The oil filter was oozing oil out from where it mates to the block. I spun it off and can see that the block is designed to have a filter with the gasket right at the edge, and this filter it's about 1/4" inside of the edge, so it didn't mate well. Checked and there was still plenty on the dipstick so that's one major catastrophe avoided. I must have grabbed the wrong filter off the shelf, this is a fram PF15 and it needeed a PA15 or something like that, I slipped a letter somewhere. <br /><br />
