      Thank you everybody for your kind words. I can’t claim that helping Mark is truly ultraistic.
      As an older guy, we often complain about how the younger generation is without ambition and willingness to put in hard labor to accomplish difficult tasks. And here is Mark, putting in 16 hour days to achieve his dream, and provide us with amazing entertainment at the same time.
      His drive and ambition is a true inspiration to myself.
      I really just want him to succeed. 😅

Continue to build the deck, helm battery and gas storage secured. Progress to fixing the leaks, get bilge pumps going. Store parts, tools, spares, garbage in second canoe. Make the second canoe more water tight.

    looks like the old alternator died because it had oil all over it, might be a split in the turbo pipe, best fix that or the new one might die.
    If you fit your row boat out with one of the outboards you could then find a parking spot much further away and motor to the project or car as needed.

    You were tapping your lower off with a rubber mallet and I couldn't help thinking about We Sail's latest video where Warren was just beating on the lower fins of his engine.
    He was hitting it exceptionally harder than you were, with a metal framing hammer. yikes!

      I think it’s called a jack plate that raises the motor up and down. I think the motor is to high up out of the water, looks like it needs to go down into the water about 5” for the water pump to work better.
