Ric - are you boozing on the boat tonight?

Well the boat is alive and well I solved the electrical issue. Come to find out their is a 3rd reser breaker hidden under the transformer distributor anf the 2 30a breakers for the engine and the computer deep out of sight is another 20s breaker uner thes breakers and the transforms and behind the alternator. You cannot see it at all with my engine hatch setup. The only way i found it was I was chasing wires with fingers to find the next connection to check for 12v. Well fingers hit the breaker and I heard it reset. Oh hot damn serious f***ing hell shit.. I reference my 5 wiring diagrams.. Yup not listed on any of the 5 diagrMs in the 2 dealer manuals that I have...

Well everyone with a 93 5.0 their is a hidden 20a breaker behind the alternator for the dash.
My baby fired right up on the first turn. Hell yes vroom blappp blapp blapp. Man this boat sounds perfect on the trailer, wish the exhaust sounded the same on the water not too loud just right.

On the 2003s there is a 90 Amp fuse attached to the starter that will blow if you hook up a battery backwards, just trust me on this one... ;)

Fitting new impeller, pump cam (one of the fingers is damaged!) and thermostat housing.
Plan on fitting a thru-hull telltale/ pisser from the new thermostat housing...

Slept at my girl-friend's house on the couch. Not as comfortable as the boat, but closer to work.

Now today comes the adventure of finding an AC repair tech.

I'm quite versed about her "personal" life. I'm not touching that bed unless I'm in a hazmat suit.

Just booked a slip for tomorrow night at Sesuit Harbor in Dennis, super excited. $2/foot and includes parking permit, which is normally $15/day. Just found out that Chapin Beach is closed to ORV traffic, so we will have literally a few miles of pristine beach on Cape Cod Bay to ourselves, just boaters and those who want to walk a mile out from the regular beach parking lot. Planning to spend the night on the boat in the slip with my son, who is 3. Should be fantastic, can't wait. Another great day on Sunday at the beach too. Offshore wind so predicted to be less than 1' waves.

Our house is by the Y in Yarmouth where it says "West Yarmouth" towards the south side of the Cape in the map below. The jellyfish have come in en-mass, so we pulled boat off mooring and are ready to head to the north side. Chapin beach pic below at sunset...its a 10-11' tide, so the flats go out for literally a mile then come right up to shore and are covered with 10' of water at high tide, within 6 hours.

I'm about 98% on buying a Seadoo Spark. I want something to mess around with and take to the local lakes (and my lake when the weeds die). Black/Gray 2up with the HO engine. $6200 out the door cash, and I can tow it with my BMW. In fact, they'll match.

Down here, the Spark is the Toyota Camry of the PWC world.
See if they'll throw in a beige PFD with the purchase! :P :wink:
