You are not going to believe this "your mechanic up north" was just on the nextel with me about mounting the sea strainer, its kinda busy back by transom. Good news for you he pulled your boat out to look at what needs to be done and he has the plumping stuff needed to finish. Looks like you should have boat for Hudson run. I'll be up there tomorrow morning, he was trying to con me into doing the job. I've been out of the country and just got back, got a back log of things to do up north.:sifone:
