I am back in business!

After talking to the mechanic at length, I learned she was only running on 2 cylinders, where the second fuel filter is along with the approach to removing the intake to get at the VST.

The big shocker learned is that the VST filter is an annual maintenance item (not in the service manual list). I was told that the inline 4 cylinder 115 is unique in placing the VST in a place that is not easily accessible. :o

Hope to get back on the water tomorrow (Sunday) despite a SCA. Still have to finish cleaning her up in preparation for the Piscat River gathering on June 1.

Just nice to have her back. I missed her! :D
