How is Hawaii treating our absent ABF boater?

I'm around. Had to go into hull defilade for a few weeks, and was out of action. I'll tell you about it when I see you at Outlaw.

Deja Blue has been laid-up as well. My IAC went tits-up recently while on the water and took the harness connector with it....melted and fused together. I have a new IAC in hand, but the connector is taking a few weeks to ship from the Merc factory in Fon du Lac, WI.

Everyone set for Outlaw? We will be wheels down in Houston on Thursday, 19 JUN.

Seems IAC's are a normal problem what I've been reading. Everyone seems to carry a spare.

Ready to roll for Outlaw!! Can't get here soon enough.

Damn IAC. The merc PCM 555 loves to work those things till they melt. I changed the IAC and spliced in a new connector. Warning beeps are gone and the boat idles at baseline. I'm splashing this weekend, so we shall see how she handles the load. Sometimes those burned out IAC's screw up the PCM which, of course, can be replaced at great expense to the owner). We shall know on Friday....
YES! All set for Outlaw. Really looking forward to it!
