Trim pump wired correctly, sensor and switch tested.

The transom assembly is all together, once I get the shifter cable adjusted I guess will be putting the lower unit on

Looks like you're on track to have it at meet. Hopefully have some time to correct any minor issues. Without looking back thru the thread, had you tested the motor/drive before doing the transom rebuild?

Yes I had it running started up and ran really nice, drive did seem to shift

Quick, bolt the hatch shut. Don't let him out till it's done. On a side note apparently Glastron did build at least one model that offers room to service the mechanicals.

Looks big in pictures, probably bigger in person. Are the new axles on?

Mrs.TheDeuceMan · « **Reply #115 on:** August 09, 2021, 09:51:39 AM »

It’s huge. And no the axles aren’t on yet

I might be able to come up Tuesday night and help put the axles in Wednesday morning if you like. Maybe use the Excursion to splash the boat and have an empty trailer? Let me know if I can help.

Although I really appreciate the offer, that’s too much work to do too close to the meat. I also need to make some modifications to the bunks.
Once I declare the boat to be seaworthy we are going to slip it somewhere for a week so I can have some time to get the trailer sorted out. I don’t even have wheels and tires yet.
