Pics of the new motor.

Called Al's Mobile Marine Service will be visiting me sometime soon to do the sea trial, which will validate the techometer which are almost always on the money.  I've already put 11 hours on it, it was necessary to get it from the work hard to the home marina.  Everything ran great.  Now I have the hot water heater installed and the insulation glued up.  After the sea trial, I will need to call Al back after I get 50 hours on it, to drain the oil and anti-freeze to send to Yanmar for analysis (part of the installation validation process that's needed before they completely bless everything.), and then Al will adjust the valves.  After that, I'm good to go for good.  Man, it sounds like a new boat with everything in place now.  In the mean time, I will need to install that new auto pilot I've already purchased, and replace the holding tank hoses and rebuild the head, you know, usual type stuff, ha ha.
