Oh. well ok. Anyway, the engine is hopefully getting repaired soon.

 

Yeah, but...

Foprget about the trim tabs ,and get the motor out of the kiddy pool and learn how to work on these things. your motor needs teardown ,putting it into a pool is lazy , get it apart and cleaned and re - assembled .I wish you luck ,..but you may need a new hobby if that boat is too much to handle for you !! Good luck !

 

I heard that the engine is looking good and is working again, from the repair people. No engine dropping off the back is going to stop me from boating. Performance boating is my passion. Ok, people do get into incidents in awhile, but still. I am like a Don Aronow JR. I will keep on going no matter what.

 

Take a minute to learn from your experience. Always do a "preflight" and check hardware for tightness and signs of failure, range of throttle, fnr function, stop lanyard function (and wear it). Have safety gear. Wear a life jacket with straps that go under your crotch so it doesn't come off. Next, learn your limits slowly and from beneath. If your going to the limit, wear a helmet, too -- open face so you don't drown. And leave your buddies at home until you know what you're doing. When you have 'em along, they should wear life jackets too. There: that's much of what I learned from screwing up myself while growing up in boats. Ignore at your own risk, but please don't. I'd rather have you around.

 

Thanks for the good advice. I really appreciate it.
