    BBC build- Don't tell the Admiral

    Thanks Bondo, however pretty sure he would be asking more than the admiral will allow. Talked to the CL guy on the 8.1 marine. It's a 2007, motor hydrolocked due to leaking riser. They pulled the motor vs even pulling the plugs. Then let it sit for 8 months. Even at $500, thinking it's too much...

    Penta DP Tilt issue

    No, your DP-C has two rams. the sensor is inside the boat, driven by a star wheel thru a shaft in the steering yoke. there is a toothed segment that is bolted to the steering helmet that drives the star wheel. the sensor then sends a signal to the gauge (my guess square with LCD readout)...
