I filled out a application at Turbine Marine.
I told him I am a used car salesman.
Should be getting a call from him any day now.

Some ideas on the Horizon. Meanwhile lets tear
up some water and have some fun!

Ken, I got the ps lines installed and bled it out.

The N2 tach on that engine is still freaking out.

I will swop the tach gens when I get a chance.
I cant check the brake system until I can read N2.

That particular one has a two pole not a three pole.
I picked up another one on ebay for 150.00.

I can't tell you how many glasses of red wine I have enjoyed this Winter while catching up on your projects progress on the weekends. Please add me to the pile of well deserved compliments to this amazing project. Just amazing.

Who's better than you to have the engines sound just as cool shutting down as the do spooling up!

Again -amazing job. Hope the rest of the install and testing goes well for you.

Your dedication is second to no one!
Once again I thank you for your help.
I found where the brake fluid was going.

Take a close look at the brass plug in the center of the
caliper.
Yes there is snow on everything.
I got a little agressive in grinding it down to fit in the bell
housing.
I replaced this with your standard steel allen 1/8npt
plug
Now I got hard pedal!

Jay,

Thank you for the cases and cases of water and of course
your help aswell.


DENNIS THE MENACE,

In regards to a email you sent I installed this plate which rides behind the neutral, forward and reverse arm on the crashbox. There is a adjustable ball with a spring which
rides in the Detent, I will ad two more detents for forward and reverse as well.
I am expecting to be able to feel these through the shifts
in the cockpit....Thus insuring full engagement.

Thank you for you inputs and advice aswell!
