Phantom Resurrection

I wound up ordering 2 sets of batt cables. Still fine tuning on them. Shortest high amp circuit I've ever done.

For motor/pump coupler alignment I use long arm 3mm allens @ 12,3,6,9 o'clock to get the couplers parallel, THEN I use the straight edge. If coupler fingers are all exactly 3mm apart, your straight.

2 klunks in the tank, one connection for the return, I vented the cap.

I'm gonna try this. Flash-FX thinks it's gonna break. I did trim the fittings. Mass reduction ? Maybe it'll hold.

I was putting on Pos starter cable and my pinchy tool kept cocking the nut, so I did this, worked friggin great! Small victories..... too much time in the shop.

And now, back to the beginning. I wanted practice turfing foot holds. You know take my time, figure it out. I ordered turf in March, was told 4-6 weeks. Took 16 weeks. Chinese fire drill spoiler. 4 day turf marathon. I started with this, was suprised to get these cuts.

Started with a template. And another, and so on. 4th try on the first side . 1 on the second side.
