First Day Out
 

Took the Z250 out for a spin on May 15th. Had a great time with no hang-up's!!! :wink_thumbup: I fully expected the annual “first time out break down”. How has everyone else's season been treating them?

Glad you could enjoy a trouble-free first of the season run! Mine was terrible. :mad: details to come shortly.

Chris, you're keeping us in suspense. Things must have gone _really_ bad since you won't even talk about it yet.


The Mariah has been great this year. Have had her out a few times with no real problems. My Blue Fin at the cabin has been a different story though.

First time up there this year, I remount my outdrive with it's new clutch dog, go to start the boat... no go. Doesn't have spark. The next weekend up there, I get the no spark problem fixed, put the outdrive through it's paces on the ear muffs, check the oil in the drive... milky. Ugh. I ended up dragging the boat home so I could go through it at home in the garage rather than at the cabin with limited tools and no shops close by.

The only downside to Mariah was last night. I finally got my torque shift prop in the mail, put it on and head to the launch with my brother to test it out. He's in the boat and I back him down in... bumpity bump. the skeq and one fin on my shiny new toy hit the ramp. Broke one blade on the prop. :punch_out: Bummer, didn't even get to try one run with the thing. :shakehead: So, we made the best of it, put the old prop back on, cracked a beer and tooled around for an hour.
