When it is 12 degrees F out, what do you do in an unheated garage?

Well you work on your boat! Button Bay appears to be frozen and Ice fishing season has started. We are having sub zero nights with little wind which means black ice on the lake and people fishing on the ice.

I have taken a little time off for Bird hunting but I hav been making a wiring harness and getting the next batch of materials for this job. I have fitted a new cooper oil pressure line, new tach cable, and wire harness to the skiff and it looks like good progress on a cold day huddled next to a milk house heater getting these pieces in place. The cooper line was hard and I have a couple of kinks but it still looks great! What do you want for gloves, never could work with them on, so my hands were a little purple.

I have made the wire harness out of Ancor and used split loom plastic instead of cloth like the original. I think it will be a little better lasting.

Next step is to make a template of John Paul's engine box I borowed.
