re: Going to fish Big Lake Saturday

Backed the boat up to the launch and had no power to the tilt, cranking, or panel on the dash.
Had power to the trolling motor and fuel gauge.
First time I have had trouble with the boat since I bought it.
Found where a mouse had chewed some insulation, maybe he chewed a wire.
Will bring it to a mechanic Monday.

So your day isn't so bad after all.

Felt bad for the the people I was bringing so I gave them 2 packs of fillets and some sausage I had just bought.

The responsibility of that trip was on me.
Too many straight months of work and not attending to my boat.
Hopefully will get the boat fixed soon and get back on the water...
