Well, I almost got out to test my newly rebuilt carb and new trailer. I got the boat backed up and the motor started pretty easily which was a good sign for the carb. ANyway, I was backing it off of the trailer and everything went dead about half way off. It looks like a bad ground. I was probing around and it looks like the negative battery cable is shot. Not a big deal, just frustrating. Although it was very rough and cold anyway. I really just wanted to try everything out. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody recommended any specific sort of cable to use for battery cables or if I can just go to Advance auto parts and buy what I currently have. I figured that I would probably change the positive lead, too, while I'm in there.

Thats freaky!! We have talked about relo'ing to Florida for the warm weather and year round skiing but theres something about swimming around knowing gators are below you that we just can't get past!!

They're not below you. They're right next to you. So it's okay! ;)

Read my post under Martini's "close call" thread. That was my other event for the weekend
