After several months of dreaming and installing a flush kit on the engine, Arthur is finally wet. Put in our lake to do some test runs before hitting the big water. First bush, everything is working well. I have a small leak on the drive shaft. Hopefully it will swell and stop. More to come.

Did you replace the shaft seal? If so the flax needs to be set properly or one of two things happens... 1) the water pours in 2) you melt the flax material and potentially burn a groove in the shaft. Don't ask how I know this, just trust that I wish no one else has to learn this expensive lesson...
Really glad to hear you got him back in the water! Can't wait to see him in person again, such a cool boat!Brian Flaherty
