I want to especially thank @sandm and @holdmybeer. They Rock! Thank you both for all your help.

W- glad I could help. sometimes I can be an a$$ but forums are how I learned how to work on towboats, newer cars and, frankly, how I do a chunk of my diy stuffs so glad to pass on the small bit of knowledge I have. sorry I was not helpful on the o2 issue.

now... stop egging Larry on with the thrusters. I read somewhere he gets $5 for every thread he jacks on how great thrusters are... stop feeding him

He still hasn't posted a video of them in action. I know I can watch all the marketing, but real life people controlling them is different.

I deserve that.

I second everything everyone is saying about this forum. SUPER HELPFUL people on here. I only joined a few months back when I bought my first v-drive. The past experiences of everyone in here is just incredible. You just about can't ask a question someone hasn't experienced already. And even the suggestions and guesses people throw out there when they don't know for sure are great.
Oh and I Double Dog Triple Second the comments about backing and docking these boats! I had no idea it was so different from my old stern drive. First time I backed the new boat up, I was like "what the hell is going on? Is something stuck under my boat? I can't steer this thing at all!". LOL! My wife was looking at me and saying what are you doing? Good Times!!!

Slacking on you marketing opportunity here.....LMAO
Have your wife dock the boat using the thrusters.....Supra might actually pay you for that commercial. "Thrusters, saving marriages in the boating community."

++++1 to everyone who helps problem solve on the forum. Next time I’m in the boat I know to look for a coolant leak in the heater loop thanks to just browsing the forum.

She has not attempted docking, she is however towing me now surfing, this is a big step.

I still feel that way most of the time in reverse.
Yesterday I backed off the trailer, no current hit reverse expecting prop walk to starboard like it *Should* do and nope damn thing decided to go hard port.
No current, no wind, bimini stowed.

I can spin it without much issue bumping back and forth but trying to move backwards more than 2 feet and it's a 50/50 crap shoot where it's going to go.
My next one will have thrusters for sure.

She was really nervous at first, but she does really good now.

She doesn’t run me over, although I am sure sometimes she wants to.
