[QUOTE="fishing66, post: 419480, member: 21255"] Boat has not seen water since the upgrade as I just got it back on Friday 08/05/2016. After the welder finished up, I took the boat to Premium Protective Coatings and had 1/2 inch of K5 polyurea applied along with Wetlander Topcoat. The Wetlander needs another day or so to fully cure. There's also a bit of work to be done in the battery compartment as I'm replacing the bilge and livewell pumps with new ones and relocating the battery. These efforts were not helped by the idiots at the marina who mounted the outboard way too low and in a position where the transom jack could not raise the motor up, only lower it down. Throw in that they mis-wired the engine controls and the power tilt/trim did not work. The motor has been re-mounted so that the tip of the jet foot is even with the top of the tunnel. It's probably going to cavitate so the plan is to have a few box wrenches and ratchets on hand to lower it until cavitation stops. It would be a hoot if it did not cavitate as the foot is now completely above the bottom of the boat. [/QUOTE]
