The organizers of the Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix Festival announced the event will not be held as scheduled, as concerns related to COVID-19 continue to affect large gatherings in the area. The event was originally scheduled to take place from June 26-28 in downtown Sarasota and on Lido Key. In addition to the boat races, plans for the weekend festival included a block party on Main Street. A new date for the Grand Prix has not been set. In a release, event organizers said they would “look to possibly rescheduling the race this year” pending applicable guidelines related to the pandemic. “Knowing both the economic and charitable benefits this event generates, this was a very difficult decision.

As well as the easy tach plug-in, I also really liked the 'easy to use' push button choke and the 'easy to use' neutral warm-up lever.Quote:

Performing any disassembly or assembly on these things was not for the mechanically challenged. If you didn't understand how the parts 4,21,40 worked together, reassembly became a mess. Oh, and throw in a neutral start switch into the mechanical mess as well. The engine wire harness was a robust design as well.Quote:
