Got boat back today, but had some disappointment news. They replaced the power steering pump (3rd one in the boat in 5 1/2 months of being on the water), but they couldn't replace the wiring that was outlined by Mercury because they said they couldn't snake the new harness wires through. My guess is that we will be looking at a new power steering pump within the next 150 hours. That, and when I got back to my slip with the boat I once again, identified oil or an oily substance, coming from my motors after I trimmed them up. Not very encouraging.
