Launched her in Cook Inlet for a "test" run this weekend.
Ran nice and smooth once it warmed up, Running 3600 RPM, 30.2 mph and burning 6.4 gph. Tested all functions (well except bilge pumps, those were tested before I launched)
Only problem is the wifes potty doesn't work (tried testing it before anyone used it) It doesn't want to draw water into the bowl, but if you pour water in it it pumps it out fine. I pulled the top of the pump off and the rubber (nitrile?) flapppers look like I do, old and well worn. So that needs to be fixed before we go out this coming weekend. All in all we were only out a few hours.
There may have been the slightest vibration when under power and turned over hard, cv joint? maybe gimble?
