Just a quick trip this weekend, with my primary motivation to take the boat out and make sure everything I've done is working to expectations. Sure enough. Only went about an hour but no issues at all. Checked Racor vacuum gauge when I got back to my slip and it hadn't budged off bottom. For some reason my cockpit temp gauge is not reading correctly, but the gauge on the instrument panel is fine. When I go back again I'll have to trace that wire to see where I put it!
The boat was an exterior mess. Some big bird, likely a heron, pooped all over my stern cockpit area. Between that and the algae and atmospheric dust and other random bird gifts like shells, the boat needed the thorough cleaning I gave it. I also put on my summer sun shield, as I use it between the equinoxes.
Sooner than later we will be headed up to Desolation Sound where our own boys and several groups of friends have plans to join us. Can't wait. The fuel tank is full of renewable diesel and I now trust the engine stalling issue has been found and eliminated.
