I had to replace the wiring from the battery to the engine. They were from 2015 (the year it was repowered) and had corrosion. It caused the motor to fail to start and then not run cleanly. The electronics in these motors are very sensitive to electrical issues. It has been running perfectly since. Obie, as always, thanks for watching!
We have several locations we like. Our favorite is by the teepees in Bristol. They have a nice rebuilt ramp with double floating docks. We occasionally use a similar one at Ocean Grove in Swansea. The issue with that one is you need to go slow with no wake for a long while getting out past the sandbar there. Our last choice is Tiverton harbor. It only has 1 dock and is very tight with a lot of current. There are always a lot of people fishing on the pier there as well. It is the most convenient way to head out to Addams Island and up towards Sakonnet, but trailering is difficult. Thanks again Obie!
Tell us about your fishing and boating adventures this summer/fall!
