Mike, speaking of fitting and not fitting, how the %#@** do you get your steering cable rod back thru the tilt tube. Goodness sakes alive, I just about blew a vein in my neck from pushing on that thing.
It's like a bad version of American Chopper around the shop today. Nothing is going together right, (Hydraulic Steering??? Les:idea ) I got the rod all the way back in to the port side of the tilt tube and she wont go any more.
Oh yeah, and get this. The Direct T.V. dude comes over for about the tenth time this year, This time thinking he's going to do an upgrade on our system. First thing he does is walk into my shop (where I'm losing patience by the second) with a 2 inch dia., 6 foot long galvanized pipe. I look over at him while straining with this damn steering cable and he says to me "I need to put a bend in this pipe, I'll just stick it in your boat trailer and reef down on it". Now mind you, the C-Dory is sitting on the trailer and it's made of fiberglass as you know. After getting within about 2 feet of the boat with his pipe, the Ol' Man from American Chopper showed up. Now I'm a very mellow person, but where in the heck do they hire these repair men from.
Anyhow, I had a great day on my Birthday. Glad I didn't have this day, yesterday. :lol:
Oh yeah, no upgrade either!
