Thanks Gary,
I hope to get this thing in the water here soon so I can get comfortable with boat before taking it to Florida for the winter.
I am not sure if it has the rope start or not. It is not apparent on top of the flywheel, so I don't think it does.
I'll check the manual when I get a chance.
That little jumper box maybe on my wish list.

I thought I have seen anti fouling paint in white on youtube video by West Marine. So that should be an option if I decide to go that way. Not a big boat to paint, so not a big deal.

Thanks again Gentlemen.

Best regards,
Doug
