Hmm ...
Lovely weekend - Friday afternoon trip to the slipway and haul out for a Wipe & a Swipe, oh yes check out the stiff port shaft - then three hours in the back recesses of the engine bay.
Saturday - lovely day this time in addition to another 5 hours in and out of the engine bay about 2 under the boat and at least 1 inside the drawer case in the aft cabin.
Sunday - absolutely cracking day - this time only 4 hours in the engine bay - Yippee the shaft coupling detached - then 3 hours split between the aft cabin drawers and sat under the boat pulling the shaft. Still I have found out the after cutlass was compeltely knackered, and from today's checks the forwward not too far behind it.
Today - got the completely failed aft cutlass out in about 15 minutes. Something clearly is wrong, but oh don't worry the forward cutlass will take a further 4 hours to remove, with at least 2 of these spent back inside those damn drawers again.
This afternoon a drive with SWMBO & Co to the Pub with No Name near Petersfield, sufficiently far from the sea I thought to forget I have a blooming boat.
Now just hope Anthony Foulkes has got the message not to splash me tomorrow on account of the large hole where the port shaft is meant to be.
Antifouling & polishing - nope not a bit of it !
Gary I'll do you a swap for your plumbing !
Its beautiful here bthis morning, I'm sat on the back of Spotty at East Cowes Marina, river is very quiet, I guess a few late nights were had.
Also visiting are Pinnacle and Colhel, nether seem very knowledgeable on Lowrance networks and why mine cant find the rate compass or perhaps they didn't want to be roped in..
Sorry to have have missed you Adrian, I not sure how we managed it ! We arrived on the rib about 2.30, rafted up next to Tim Griffins training rib, spent the whole afternoon taking the plotter apart. Put it back together again this morning, must have walked pass you a loads of times, went for a breakfast, back about 1pm, Colhel came around on his bike then HenryF rocked up. Both shared the benefit of their very limited knowledge (at least Colin said he knew nothing) but between us we got a solution.
Blow that passed Spotty on Sat around 11:30 and back around 14:20 and was unable to share a cold beer, so on to DJ43 but they too were out. !!!!.... Both shared the benefit of their very limited knowledge .......
