Shannan mentioned yesterday evening that the A/C doesn't seem to be keeping up with the heat we've been having as it seems to be constantly running and the temp in the house is 77 when she had it set for 68.

Considering a roll cage talked to Greenlight Performance and from what I heard they do excellent work, it is NOT cheap wow $2000.00. They use Chrome Moly and TIG weld it.

Long story short - the new lower unit has the "later" style pitot tube for the speedometer. The boat has the "early" style connector/coupler coming out of the transom... No worky-worky, need new coupler!

So I get home from work and my wife says the pump hose for the pool is leaking. We already had replaced the hose once, but now it's where the hose connects to the pool side.
