Finally after all of the repairs on the prop and tiller arm i went to install them on Friday morning. That's when I found more troubles. The shaft was broken in the coupling. My customers for Saturday was Cortec. they have a big machine shop and agreed to rebuil the shaft. OK that was done and the coupling was put on to see if it was good. You guessed it, it was not good so at 8pm on friday a new one was started. Around 10pm it was ready but I decided to put every thing together in the morning. At 8am it was done and the boat was launched. I'm glad it was Cortec scheduled for that day because they made sure everything was done right. So with a rebuilt prop a new tiller arm a new coupling and a rebuilt shaft and Fay on the way we left to get the fish. Saturday was calm to start so we went strait out to catch the AJ's and fish in from there so if the wind kicked up we would be close to shore. The AJ's must have known we were in a rush because they cooperated and we had them in no time. Next stop was for mangroves and it was more AJ's so we moved around until we found the mangrove s and put 24 in the box pretty quick. We bounced around a little running from the red snapper and then it was on again and we put another 20 in the box and with the deteriorating weather we called it a day and ran in. It never got over 3' and we had no rain so we were very happy to get that trip in. Any one wanting in on a tuna trip day or night give us a call. Also for your mangrove trip call
