    Engine swap update.

    The 89 XP 150 arrived E150STLCEM. SO far so good.

    Got her mounted to the Jack Plate with some help from John Deer.

    Hooking up was indeed plug & play, and I gained another harness which came with it.

    There was a hose off a T in the pee line labled temp guage, and I plugged my pressure guage into it.

    Fired her up on muffs using some heavy mix fuel after squirting some fog in each cylinder.

    She Barked, and sat there idling like a champ. Good heavy water stream.

    Tested the batterie with M meter, and shes putting 13.5V ish into it at idle.

    The throttle, and shift cables were almost bang on from the old fast strike with little adjustment required.

    I replaced the hardened the Gas line, added a new bulb, and fuel filter as well.

    I'm replacing a cable on the old school duel steering, but waiting for younger assistance so the FD wont need the "Jaws of Life"
    To extract an old semi intoxicated fat man from under a Bass Boat consol.
