. . . a minute ago but there is one fly in the ointment, that is, apparently now the helm steering reservior has sprung a leak, this is after I had them make up new hydraulic lines as the old ones were kinked in a couple of places in the splashwell, the thing is, there was no leak when using it last season and no leak when I brought it there, but for $689 they are putting in a new steering cylinder and ram for the motor/steering so all will be nice. I guess after almost 20 years, it is a good idea to get a new system as time would probably cause a seal to fail somewhere and that would be all I need out on the water, so he says that he'll have the system in tommorow and we'll be on for the weekend and I'll probably pick it up on Saturday and have pics of the new Merc on here Monday, oh happy days, I can't wait.
