Won't be long now! We are going to install the windlass and some other trivia Monday -- and then the E-TEC should be in the water. I'll give it a thorough checkout and report to those who care ASAP. Been seven years that I've been fishing with a 90 Honda (over 1,000 hours) with my fishing partner's Arima 19 in addition to many Honda years on my own boats, so this will be different. The E-TEC looks good on the boat and on paper. I've had some excellent reports from Arima owners who use the E-TEC so I'll be surprised if it doesn't do a good job.
Our weather is okay now, but predicted miserable tomorrow. Weather guessing in the area is a real tough problem because of the Olympic and Canadian mountains, and all of the conflicting currents...
