Wow, how did you get a gimbal bearing replaced free of charge?

    You got me.

    All I know is it was on her "to do" list and said they would do it for me. Unless it was some kind of a warranty thing? Unless it was something they did? To my knowledge the gimbal was fine. But I also haven't been trained to hear what a bad gimbal would sound like.

    When I hear the words "free and boat part" used in the same sentence, I don't want to ask any questions.

    Hi 180diablo,

    You were going to have someone look at your carb because of the "take off burp" but since you're getting it rebuilt, after it's adjusted properly, your problem should be history!

    Hey, did you ever get time to work on the skeg? 2 weeks is going to pass really quick!

    I hope so. Because it freaked me out the first time it was doing that because I figured something could be wrong.

    Yeah, it will go for a rebuild and I mentioned about the "burp" for say and see if they might be able to track that down.

    Skeg repair, nope. It was too long on the long weekend to work on it and this weekend I won't be up north. But the following weekend I should be up north and by then it might be on water anyways.

    Sometimes I wish I had a trailer to remove it from water when it isnt in use.
    (and a decent ramp)
