Spotted you in the RYA mag latest edition John.
Season's greets to all.

I'm of the same opinion. The kink at the tripping step will be a lot easier in plastic and it will be interesting to see if a soldering iron will weld the corners at the stern. If I make progress I'll update on here. We're off up to Tarbert this weekend for six months (hopefully) so no breath-holdin...

Outside after tea! brilliant. I swap watches seasonally as the Casio tide thingy is too much of an issue to change and wearing it means good times ahead.

Useful info noted John, I've been pondering a planar lately and you may have helped with the options. Thanks for posting.

I have the same boat with the same problem and have been through the same process of pricing a professional to do the job. Phlabbergasted at the quote, I gave up BUT - I have to say I'm tentatively impressed by the solution Claymore has discovered. John did you do it???? I recon the saving would be ...

Young lady from Aberdeen I believe, just working for the season - great front-of-house attitude an asset to be appreciated, shame she'll be off back home later.

I was being diplomatic as I had no first-hand experience of the problems, but there were many stories...

We found it perfectly acceptable recently, and were particularly impressed by the young waitress. What's the alleged problem?

We were there last week, the kitchen was closed for refurb so no nosh, beer was fine but not cheap. Plenty of bums on seats, so it looks as if success is in the offing. Best of luck to them and all others who feel they have to take over a local resource for whatever reason.

Going back to the OP and electrolysis - I am about to be thrust into the world of common grounds and (possibly?) linked anodes/hull fixings. My existing engine is totally insulated from the negative battery circuit and is about to be replaced by a modern chassis-ground type I fear. This could possib...

I don't know these particular models, but typically the thing to watch out for is the thrust bearing at the end of the worm drive, which does the work and often gets left to take the strain when people don't notch the chain in a proper keeper.

Sounds like galling to me Geoff. Which means you will probably have to destroy the wire terminal in order to save the insulator.

Going over all the evidence in retrospect, there is coolant (as opposed to seawater) lurking around the top of the engine and I added 2 litres to the header tank to bring it up to spec (but it was a long time ago I last looked) There is a crucial piece of evidence that will have to wait for next tim...

Visited Sahona for the first ime in ages today and was pleasantly surprised by the general state of things - nothing missing, minimal guano, no flapping bits. The engine started first turn -which it doesn't usually do! so it was left to charge the batteries while I firkled about in general. It sound...
