Ready for our first test drive
The plan for the day was to take the boat down to the nearby River View Marina, where Mike wanted to do some final maintenance before we took off on the trip early the next morning. However, after starting the engines and getting ready to go, Mike noticed the power steering wasn’t working.
After more than a bit of sleuthing, we found that a grommet within the power steering shaft had deteriorated… so I spent the afternoon and the next morning driving all over Sacramento in search of the perfect fitting grommet.
Super fortunate that the great team at Tri-C Machinery had two of them. They happily sold me two grommets and even put the steering arm back with their tools, making things fairly smooth.
