glad your gonna live ,be careful my brother ++peace
Here what it looks like now lil burnt not too bad
My injury.... Dont mind my ass
Damn
OUCH! Roasted duck!
I got the boat started up two days ago. Just before I started I was terrified to do it... I had my fuel pump on and bled the air out of the line then pushed my throttle cable few time then I shut off the fuel pump and I was standing no way I d sit down to start it. I left my main power on and I pushed the button and it fired up for a second and it was too much i got scared and I shut off the main power and step off the boat.. I wanted to wait until my wife gets home and she got home and I went back on it and fire it up and it ran for a bit added trans fluid and it moves on it own power. I still have few things to button up before I actually test it out. I still get bit nervous every time I push the button to start it up.
Man I don't blame ya for being nervous about firing it up again!!

I think i ll feel better once the exhaust is completed so if it back fires it not right by me ya know
