I'm headed across South Florida by boat this weekend for our annual trip to Fort Myers Florida (Starting from Belle Glade at the SE side of Lake Okeechobee). 160 miles round trip on the water. We have 4 boats going this year, and staying at the Best Western Ft Myers Waterfront. Any Southwest Florida boaters want to meet up with us Sat evening can meet us there. We usually arrive by 3:30pm (11/7/2015). I can be reached at five6one-six6two-nine6nine9 Ray |

Sorry I had posted so late about the trip. I thought I posted a notice a month or two ago, but I can't find it. Would have been fun to meet up. Ray |

Great pix Ray, I have the same GPS as you (Garmin 441s?)...nice to see the working gauges. I have the original Medallion gauges in mine from 1988 they all still work including the trim sender. I have a new set but have not installed them yet. I'd have to fab up the retainer brackets because of the deep wells the gauges are set in. My next project is to replace the old OMC shift control with a Teleflex CH 1700. Maybe over the winter which is not far off... |
