This afternoon I did what was on my list for a long time. The power-trim on my boat (the button on the throttle that makes the drive unit (propeller) tilt up and down) was mounted on a steel structure that had seen better days. I built an aluminum replacement 2 years ago for replacing it. I replaced it. Finally. Then I reattached the battery.
No juice.
The sun went down with me chasing wires. My volt-meter (Harbor Freight Tool Special) was crap. The nine-volt inside was dead, and by dead I mean the connectors had broken away from their battery.
But this old dog has one trick. A photograph of how it was BEFORE I messed it up. Well, that and a nice little wire tester.
Tomorrow I'll fix it when the light is back.
