Launched!!!

After work I found a SD card (takes a micro not a full size) and put it in the Simrad Go and updated it, fought with the VesselView Link trying to update it but kept failing, gave myself a time limit where I would give up on the update and proceeded forward and hit my deadline so will try to figure it out later.
We took it over and filled the tank with gas, the plumbing isn't great and so couldnt fill at full speed pressure from the pump.... Not sure if I will move the fill cap up to the side of the console for a straight down fill route, or leave it tucked under the gunnel like it is..... will see how frustrated I get filling it
Checked fluids then screwed a garden hose into the motor and started it and idled for a minute, so I knew it would run and the starter worked.
As you can see in the launch thread, we were quite happy with it.
The holes I have drilled for drains in the side were well above the water line, so that worked out well. I kept them plugged for the initial launch, but looks like if its just the 3 of us, there is no need to have them plugged even with full fuel.
The LED cupholders were a fail.... 4 of them dont light at all, and the rest all have bad lights.... Shouldnt have gone cheap I guess, anyone know of a quality blue led cupholder?
Biggest project remaining is the windshields, maybe this weekend.
Lots of little stuff, tying up wire bundles etc... One of the cleats is loose, I need to tighten it or replace the screw holding it down, need to investigate.
Need to learn how to operate the display and customize some screens to display what I need.
The trailer is still not finished... I don't weld though, so will be on my buddies time when he can get to that.
