Thanks for your comments. I have had big trouble with mine and I cannot find anyone who knows anything about them. Looks like Im going to rip them out and go the Bennets route also. If there is anyone who can help out there I'll hang on a bit longer.

Im looking for any information on the QL trim tabs. I have big problems with mine.

Can anyone recommend a surveyor to attend my 30ft GRP power cruiser (1989 vintage) for insurance requirements. On the dry in Hampshire UK

Hello. I am booked to be craned back into the water on Thursday 30th Julyafter drives overhaul, bellows etc. I have adjusted the gear selector cable as usual to select forward and reverse. It is not possible to engage either gear successfully. pushing the stick forward or back as the engine...

Problem solved. What could be regarded as the obvious really, in retrospect. Three cables from pot to helm, the white/red one, no continuity. No idea how or where but chuffed to find the prob. Thanks for the interest and suggestions.

Yes Thank you to all replies. Boat on the dry and both drives o/hauled , anti fouled and re-attached to the hull. The rack is intact and was correctly engaged to the wheel. Swopping the clocks has confirmed they are ok. Trying the stb. clock to the port elec. feed shows -9 and confirms it is a...
