Pontoon Rebuild Project \u2013 All Done"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On July 7 the ol&#8217; pontoon boat was launched on a choppy Thayer Lake for its maiden voyage following the rebuild project.\u00a0 The engine and electrical system worked flawlessly, although one issue surfaced almost immediately.\u00a0 While backing away from shore, I quickly realized that the steering cable was connected backwards, making it very awkward to drive.\u00a0 At the dock I was able to correct the problem quickly, after which Enzo and I took the boat for a ride around the lake.<\/p>\n<p>The boat handled well, and the steering and shifting mechanisms work smoother than before.\u00a0 The new interior looks great and provides plenty of seating.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not a new boat, but it looks better now, and if all goes as planned, it should serve us well for many years.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3075 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure
