After the replacement of the Neutral Safety Switch last week we had a great weekend trip to Roche Harbor. Replacing the neutral safety switch was perhaps the easiest repair. Prior to replacing this little switch we had a hard time getting our port engine to start unless it was lined up just perfectly. Here are

Tonight we were able to get the name branding on the side of the boat. We used our vinyl cutter to cut out a gray vinyl name and a black vinyl name, combined them to look like a shadow, and placed it on the side of the boat. Here is the original look, we peeled
