Rudders easy and easy access in the lazarette, props either come off or stay on, depends on wether they are lapped to the shafts at the factory, use a proper puller. RK are quite obliging regarding block off or not, road it back to there, I may be able to help.

Great news, fingers crossed the oil samples show a clean bill of health. Are you thinking the oil report will be back this week?

 

[andy59]

Yes Paul , should know by Tuesday/Wednesday , fingers crossed and all that .

 

[P4Paul]

understand you not wanting to get too excited just yet, hope that things all fall into place and we get a heatwave on the week you take delivery.

 

[andy59]

I was in BSM for the last two weeks and was wondering how you got on.

Hope the weather is as good as we just had. Enjoy your new boat.

 

[andy59]

Thanks Shane , we really enjoyed BSM and the whole SOF thing so would love to come down there for a season one day .

 

[P4Paul]

Great to have caught up with you and Jo yesterday. Fingers crossed everything goes to plan this week and you are taking the helm on Friday ready for the weekend.

Check your tidal heights before casting off from RK....

 

[andy59]

[andy59]

Yes Paul ,safely sat on RKs pontoon ready to take back to Lymington . And what a coincidence the 42 from france also turned up in RKs yard this morning

If you need a decent 3 leg puller I have one in Hamble. Popped the props of the Turbo 36 without a problem. PM me if you want to borrow it.

Thanks Trevor but all sorted and in the water now
