Fuel tank leak

[Bouba]

Looks good - has it been checked for leaks ;-)

It’s got a CE badge...so I assume that means yes (?)

I don’t know...this picture is all I have...but the base is V-shaped so it could be welded or folded

When’s it going in? Should be just days now hopefully before you’re floating again!

The yard are quick...but in the three months they’ve had my boat they may have a few people ahead of the queue...we shall see. At the end of the day what matters is the weather ....and next week is looking exceptionally good for launching ?

I think the propeller used to fit

I’d be surprised if that Mercury prop fitted??

That will be okay expect a huge increase in speed.

One thing is certain! I won’t be in until at least the 15th as the travel hoist at Conwy is having a lick of paint!

Welcome to boating ?

Let’s face it...apart from a few weathered, leathery skinned live-aboards...boating is not a water sport

I don’t think CE marking covers pressure testing. It covers the prerequisite legals. The tank is not a pressure vessel.
