After two days of living on the dock I decide to start blatant behavior to make sure everything is OK..sounds good..so I turn the switch.push the off button and...nothing? Still running..I'm panicking now..screw drives are flying.panels are coming off.I'm cursing like...well a sailed..I'm freaking...meanwhile my wife is looking at all of this and calmly Says.. Why dont you just pull The stop switch? Hun?? This one she says... Motor dies..guess I miss that memo.so changed cuttlass bearing.seecocks.deph sounder.knot meter.added generator. Put up netting.banged my head several times well you get the picture..oh and did I mention that I could not figure out why are heads did not work.while on the hard.? ..yeah..I figured that too..boat needs to be in water to take in water for said heads..what can I say..it was a long day.now back in the water...should be a interesting week....note to self..more ice
