Doolittle survives the Boat Safety Test...

[Doolittle]

... with only some minor observations:

- Increase ventilation in the cabin door; so much so I might just remove it!
- Replace the speaker wire used for the wiper with proper 2 core.
- Reduce all of the 8 Amp fuses with 5 Amp.

Pretty chuffed with that so all I have to do now is get some reliability back in the Ford Zephyr III engine that has probably done hundreds of thousands of hours! Carb and starter refurbished but she still runs a little hotter than I would like.

Can anyone one suggest a solution I could wash through without damaging rubber stuff?

Excellent news, Mike! I have been trying to post a photo of you that I took when we met last weekend, but cannot get Flickr files to post (even if I downsize them)

Hope to see you around a bit more. Give my regards to Chesney.

Ha ha, thanks, I'll do that but we tend to see more of Len & Carole.

We are moseying down to Kingston for a night next week as a tester run, then taking the Vicar and his misses for a tea and scones run, then the major two whole night away from the 17th with a lil flotilla upstream. If she doesn't break sometime over the next few days then I will eat this very hat I'm wearing!

Man alive, it's going to be such a blessed relief to get away from the dam fax and email!!
