Best of luck Dom, you deserve it, long suffering devil that you are, fair winds mate and clean diesel, but yours always is!! tee hee.

 

[DepSol]

Thanks all. It all went well except the power steering wasnt working but feels like air in he system, someone sorting it out now. Went up and down the revs all ok had 32 knots out of her on the way to SPP.

Best of luck Dom, don't forget to take it easy on the new O/D for 5 or 6 hours and change the oil after 20. I'm off for 2 weeks tomorrow, east coasting it.

congrats

Excellent news, good to hear you made it back on the water, and just in time for Summer too.

What happened with Volvo/Jeanno? Did you do a deal? Are you able to salvage their reputation and make a post about how nice they are? <G>

Is the set-up identical, or have you got new baffles/new exhaust to stop a repeat hydraulicing?

 

[DepSol]

Been advised to run it in again ie vary the revs alot also change oil filter every 10 hours for the next 30 hours.

Depsol/VP \"Mutual understanding\" -ooer

depsol said on another thread "let's just say that we came to a mutual understanding". I wonder what this means? I also note that Depsol is part Sicilian. Anyway, I have to go now cos three very large black cars have just drawn up in the carpark...

[dickhicks]

I have not read all this weeks posts yet, but I'm really pleased for you.

Re: sense of humour, Ibiza

St.Antonio bay, you can anchor there, for nothing. Ibiza town is all marinas and they are mostly full and expensive. Theres lots of calas on the north west coast, some even big enough for you, in fact lots big enough for you and all free! amazingly! Its 60 miles from palma to top of Ibiza and then another 15 or so to ibiza town oir St.antonio, it's a really bonny island! As long as you stay away from St. Antonio town! Bloody awful shithole!

Re: ......the answer is not 42 -

Which planet? Pluto, it's the smallest and coldest! (not much happens there) tee hee.
