    Default Boat home and working on it!


    I got the boat home from winter storage Saturday. I have it torn apart and am replacing the steering cable. I have it ordered and should be here tomorrow morning. I didn't realize how involved it is to replace the cable. I had to remove the big motor to get the cable out of the motor housing, plus remove several decks.
    Next week I will get a new fish finder for the front and move the front one to the console. The one on the console was starting to act up so figured I would upgrade the front one and have it linked to the new trolling motor. I am going to try to make it as easy on me to run as possible. I think the old cable steering trolling motor helped aggravate my knee that I had the surgery on last Nov. I only used the new one, once or twice before I put it away for the winter. I really liked it a lot for what I got to use it so far. EB

    Got the boat ready to go out in the morning! Got the cable put in and have it ready to go. We will take it out to the local lake to check it out and then will be ready to take it down to the lake to get the lake sticker put on it. It will feel good to have a rod in my hand again.
    Replacing the steering cable wasn't all that difficult but just have to take so much apart to work on it. EB

    Sounds awesome EB! Heard most water temps have been hovering around 50 degrees. Should be a warm day out on the water, but that wind might pose a problem.
