[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 217167, member: 412"] 1st trip with my 1st boat I forgot to open up the breather valve on the gas tank. 1st trip with my 2nd boat I'm throttling up the 125HP Merc 2+2, get to 1800rpm and the 2nd 2 cylinders engage. Buddy up front is installing a dip of chew as the motor makes the switch to 4 cylinder power, buddy next to me takes some wayward Skoal flakes to the eyeball. 1st trip w/my 3rd boat. I'd pulled the rear floor out before ever getting it wet so I could install the electronics the way I wanted. I get everything "just-so". Upon re-install of the rear floor, I put the hydraulic steering hoses on the wrong side of a brace and to compound the mistake, unknowingly run a decking screw through the hose. Pretty-much wide open on Sak (low 40's) and the boat goes into a full-lock turn (can't remember if it was right or left) and just about throws my partner and I out of the boat. The following Monday back @ the dealership was quite the embarrassment. Quirky thing, same guy was along for all 3 "maiden voyages" and hasn't died, tried to kill me, nor even refused to fish with me. Can't cypher if he's forgiving or just an idiot. [/QUOTE]
