[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5536807, member: 2805"] Everything working great, amber interior lights were a nice addition for loading the boat in the dark and lighting up the bilge area in the dark. Launched the boat and replacing the bunks took 15 min since I had them already prebuilt... just saw off the old bolts and the new ones bolted right in with stainless hardware... one of the few jobs that went much easier than expected! Tested the trolling motor. Only pulls the boat 2mph on high speed. Would have thought it would be faster. Still haven't pulled the prop to check for line, but it was quiet. Spot lock doesn't seem to work or I don't know what I'm doing. Ran the motor for about 5 min before I ran out of gas. I put a gallon of fresh in the tank after draining it a couple weeks ago. Didn't realize my son and friend had drained about a half gallon flushing the carb bowls last weekend while I was out picking up supplies. Thought I had enough for a longer test. Washed the boat with the plug in to fill up the bilge and test the bilge pump... works great, no need to replace. Now I just need to take it to a bigger freshwater lake about 30 min away and run it for an hour or so doing circles to make sure there are no hidden gremlins in the motor.... but the end of the refreshing and updating of the boat is in sight!
