Finally floating!

Post by Lyndon670 »

Foxy Joe was splashed yesterday at 0800hrs. Port Engine fired up instantly, starboard...nothing. 5 hours of climbing around in my engine room, I found a single wire running to my Volvo brain box had become corroded enough to have a voltage drop - which renders a no-start situation. 2 minute fix and she fired up like nothing happened.

Bring on the summer!
