Egmont Key next week

[Snookerd]

I know it's going to be insane next week, but I have to get my new to me 79 Sceptre broken in! Who is Interested?

We will be around Anclote on the 4th, chasing grouper weather permitting and hanging out at my buddies houseboat.

Ken- yea it does feel a little like a gathering weekend . Have a great time, but keep a spot open for later this year. Ft. Desoto is 6 months out for reservations still! Changed the VRO pump.... And now the perko switch died. 1 yr old batteries fully charged not getting any juice to motah. Switch was already very hard to turn, so hopefully that solves the mystery. With a couple axles and hubs I will not have any gremlins for a while hopefully.

Anclote tomorrow - Susan's dying to see how the storm moved the sand around

I hate electric - wouldn't know an OHM if it bit me on the ankle - I will say though get a 12V tester with the ice pick end $5 - make a wire long enough to go from a known good ground like the battery even and you can trace down power easy. Only works on little stuff but very helpful, I even carry one on the boat for bilge pump, bait pump or light issues, saves a day sometimes.

re- read your post above, I hate to bring this up but - based on that boat, there might some connection between the helm and the motor its a long run. I would go get that tester though, you could find out if power is getting anywhere back there - start at the front at the key and switch, try and follow the power back - you will lose it somewhere and it then will be in between. Sure helps narrow the search down. Might even be a bad key switch, thats why I said start the front.
