The Power steering has not been tested. lines not connected.
We are working out fuel pump issues. Wont hold prime.
No testing has been done on the caliper assembly eithier.
Basicaly 6:00 saturday we got em fired and bolted!
Ken would be pretty cool to video the caliper assembly
in action.
I,m almost out of water

It really is a neat piece of engineering !
It got dark and it got cold, but when the Candles got lit it was impressive as all hell !

G, do u-have a little bit of lube in that p/steer/pump don't want it roasted like those stacks. Fuel prime? is there a dump after shut down or ck.valve/solenoid not operating in correct sequence? What does Jim say ? Water on the way by sat/sun for sure will load up the ol' Excursion to the gills ! As always best of luck/be safe and save some hot dogs and marshmellows for ken, ron, mike and the rest of the boat freeks !--J--

These are the Aeromotive fuel pumps. Nothing to do with Turbines. Kinda acts like a lift pump in a deisel truck.
They were mounted down in the bildge below tanks when
I ran the Blower motors. I had to move them . Too close to
Turbine exhaust. They are now above the tanks by a foot
and will not hold prime. I ordered some -10 aeromotive
check valves. Will try them.
Once we get all the issues worked out I can start putting all thes SS cushin clamps on all the spaghetti.
clean up and paint the forward hatches.
Still gotta test the braking system and wire the alternator.
Lots of things to do.
We got plenty of time
I can smell the dogs already!
