Boat chores tomorrow

[Evildwarf]

tomorrow is boat chore day before we get to go enjoy the lake
1. small gelcoat repair, dime sized gouge in the gel coat, starboard stern just below the rub rail where I backed in the slip just a little too hot
2. received my throttler sync from JBP, looks like an easy install, right at my technical level!
3. Wash the hull and apply Hot Sauce
4. Apply Vinyl sauce

definitely 1 and 2 will happen, we will see if I can stay the course with 3 and 4 or slack off and hit the water.

Installing keel guard, maybe GPS and transponder... great is the laziness with this one, so maybe just one of those. :S

Smthng, laziness is such a weighted word, I prefer to think of it as the powerful siren song of the lake that robs me of my will and determination.....

Suggestion on the Throttle Sync: Be prepared to tackle "Synchronizing" the throttles by playing with the throttle stops.
Normally, there is a little twidling of these that must be done. Will (@JetBoatPilot) has already prepared us a video that shows in detail what must be done.

Thanks Uncle Mikey, did a little homework and checked out that video last night so I'm prepared. Best of all it looks to be well within my limited technical scope of practice.

1. Finished gel coat repair, definitely not an artist but not a bad finished product.
2. Enjoyed a cold Sweetwater IPA, watched the boating traffic passing the marina
3. Installed Throttle Sync
4. Adjusted throttle cables
5. Cleaned and lubed (he said lube) cleanout plugs
6. Greased steering and throttle linkages on the jet buckets
7. Applied vinyl sauce, seats look good.

Didn't get to test the throttles because the gelcoat repair was still tacky.

Today I will float her and test the throttles then it's hull washing and Hot Sauce time.
