we could have been done earlier, but I had to wait for to get the right camera shot!

Yeah...I wanted to take a pretty picture of the motors so I had to wait until you moved out of the way...

**OBNOXUS** · 03-14-2010 10:22 AM

phew,,,,,they fit !!!!!!

looks great !!!

**scarrab30** · 03-14-2010 09:36 PM

Latest, Today I got the power cable hooked up the motor along with fuel pressure senders and water pressure line. After that,I was in a quandry as to what to do about hooking up shift cables to the transmissions .About that time Mark Boudos and Ryan showed up. After they looked at it, Mark jumped in and then put me to work makeing brackets. I should be done with all that tomorrow morning. Next hurdle will be plumbing sea pumps.

I can swing by after lunch

**scarrab30** · 03-14-2010 10:04 PM

**MILD THUNDER** · 03-14-2010 10:14 PM

Awesome. I might be able to swing by tomorrow also. Couldnt you use the standard merc brackets that mount to the tops of the trannies?

**MILD THUNDER** · 03-15-2010 05:20 PM

Stopped by today about an hour ago, must have missed ya.

**OBNOXUS** · 03-16-2010 09:00 AM

Yeah,,,,me to,,,, we shoulda called first,,,,, swung by after my chiropractors visit

**scarrab30** · 03-17-2010 09:02 PM

Will be at the shop all day tomorrow. I got in too late to make my second round to St. paul. I think i'm gonna tackle the water system.

**MrCig** · 03-18-2010 07:21 PM

Did you get the 2nd bracket made and painted?

Mark

**scarrab30** · 03-18-2010 08:58 PM

Yup, didn't paint them though, can't see'm. I'm not certain the shifters are going in all the way. I've got about 100 thousands slack at the end of the cable travel. I can't get anymore movement out of the controls. Got the tail pipes in today. Bolted up the port driveshaft. I think,I know what i'm gonna do with the water system. Got a call from mel Riggs and the lower unit prop shaft is toast. He's gonna try to have it ready by saturday.How many times do I have to say I shoulda bought the konrads!.

Got a phone call from the Old Fart yesterday evening...he sounded so excited I'm wondering what his other hand was doing when he was talking? Now THERE'S a disconcerting thought....eeewwww.

Anyway...drives have been pulled off, shafts greased (perhaps this is what started the excitement??), put back on, lower that went to Mel Riggs has been repaired, delivered (by a highly skilled crew - Obnoxus and myself) and reinstalled.

Water system is complete...all fittings from the strainers to the sea pumps are a go. Front bolster seat was scuffed up a bit from being moved around everywhere and the rear seat needed some modification, so Harvey has taken both to work his magic...and also make a cockpit cover. Compass and GPS hockey puck are in.

Drives need to be filled with oil, lexan windshield needs to be made, fuel lines and batteries need to be hooked up, indicators need to be purchased or made, stickers applied...and then all that is required is WHEELS.

Straight Jacket will be rippin' it up in no time.
