Same Boat, New Motor

[Tin-Can]

It is gonna be a little bit of a new learning curve. Controls are a bit different. No Fwd and Rev shift lever, it's all part of the tiller throttle. But it is EFI, so  no carbs or choke. Bigger prop, same pitch.
I will be getting down to UL more often this summer after retirement in June.

You will get used to the controls pretty quick. I bought a Merc last year and really like not haveing to shift the lever.

With the wet weather most of the day today, I spent several hours in the boat shed. Installed my trolling plate on the new motor. Had to build up a new cable to deploy it. New motor bigger, needed longer cable. Rigged a new one with plastic coated wire rope. Should keep the cable from scratchin up the side of motor. Took me 2 trips to 2 different Lowes to get what I needed. But that job is done. More rain forecast for tomorrow, so will work on getting all the stuff I tote in the boat put back in. Sunday forecast is better, may get a chance to do a first run ops check at Willard. Might even take some fishing gear
