Seneca North-End

[Zebedee]

Finally made the shake-down cruise Sat. My Dad checked the prop, oil, & plugs on the kicker before going out, He's been great! He helped me wire a new dash panel with all new gages, circuit-breaker panel (I've had it with fuses!), and do a tune-up on the I/O Engine.

So Sat. we launch at the Seneca Lake state park and set-up just North of the Pumphouse. I kill the engine and drop the kicker, Fire's on the 2nd pull, I put her in gear and watch as my prop sinks to the bottom! :shock:

So I fire the big engine back up :? "Hey Jay" my dad says, "where's the line releases?" "Uhhhhhh aren't they in the boat?"

Oh well, so I got to check out my new wire-divers and went 1/1 on 5# laker. Magnum glow dipsey/Glow G-fly, 0 setting, 100 lc, 118 FOW

It felt good to get on the lake even though it wasn't the greatest start!
