Prognosis Negative

Finally took the boat into the shop to get the tilt/trim unit worked on.  It turns out the motor was fried.  It never held water and froze like I had suspected.  The good folks at Adams and Durvin Marine placed a call to Yamaha and got the repair done under warranty, so zero cost for me!  It was almost $800 worth of work.  Good to finally have this taken care of and ready to hit the water!
