Winter14 Miles

Last week I reinstalled the sailboat engine I took the transmission off of and rebuilt. Along with installation was aligning the engine to the shaft coupler. I got the faces within 0.003". I will have to recheck the alignment when the boat gets launched.  I learned a little bit about wiring and adjusting external voltage regulators but will hopefully learn more on that topic this week.
