Finally the weather started to warm up and we scheduled to have the boat returned to the water.
I spent the weekend re-mounting the motor and batteries in the 'battery box'. I connected everything up and all was working fine.
I decided to go ahead and install everything again feeling confident that:
1 - The new stuffing box will not leak.
2 - The flexible coupling will take care of any minor prop shaft/motor misalignment.
3 - The was the LAST TIME I was going to mount the motor and batteries.
The boat was 'splashed' for the second time today and the short trip to her slip went without a hitch - Motor, batteries, Stuffing Box, Prop Shaft all seemed to be working the way it should
I can't wait to take her out and crank up the motor.
I hope the good weather hold up this weekend.
