Went fishing yesterday....quit at 3....got about 1/2 mile from launch and motor died....so I just used my trolling motor to get back in....a little problem getting the boat back on the trailer but some guy at the launch helped me get it winched up....the motor acted like it was being starved for gas....pulled the cover this morning and I found a broke belt at the top of the motor (runs the air compressor)....see picture...went and showed my mechanic the picture I took and he said it will not run without that belt....so, it will be next Wednesday before he can get to it...oh well, I am overdue for general maintenance like water pump, lower unit, plugs, etc.....may be in the shop for a day or two....somehow, fate is forcing me to slow down.....no problem.....so, that means no Henderson reports from me next week (did I just hear a "hooray" in the background).....except the one I will make tomorrow when I clean my fish....
