It took about two weeks to get the level up. About a week before you could navigate the No-Wake zones with motor down.
While I was there the "channel" at spindle point, and I mean "mid Channel" only had 1-1/2 feet of water. I had to run it with my engine up to the point that the prop was almost out of the water..
