Will a Walker Bay fit in a Targa 40 garage?

[djefabs]

Had an entertaining weekend with RogerRat and his new tender. Managed to catch a few photos of his master class re 'of course the bloody thing will fit'

Roger is sure that it will fit!!!!!!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

''If I deflate it a little bit I'm sure it will fit'' /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I guess this is an old nautical sign ?? not sure what it meant tho' /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

''maybe if I deflate it a bit more it will fit''

''there you are, I told you it will fit'' /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

At last, out to play. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

must be that little wheely ramp thing that made it all so straightforward. Did it puncture, or was it supposed to deflate /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I wish Id have been there!!!

Roger you are a muppett if you seriously have to deflate it that much to get it in the bloody garage! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Things you will never hear from Houston................

Ey Jane, just open up the garage and she'll slide straight in no worries!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Come to mention it, I doubt if she'll slide in or out particularly smoothly!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Just like sex (if I can remember that far back)

All deflated until it gets excited.


And imagine leaving from that favoutite little anchorage.
Then there's a huge hiss.
Ok - it all right - just Houston farting again.

BTW
Roger can you remember the name of the pump.

Sorry Mike, I can't but it's on the pump and I'll look at the weekend as I have just thrown the box away. It's called an RB50 and didn't feature on the web site even though it was a new product recently introduced when we went to Kos to collect 'Whitelighter II.'

Just for info, the pump (featured in the 'Nautical signing pic) moves 400 litres per minute, is rechargeable and works on 12 or 220 volt. Not massive in terms of pressure but will inflate those fairly ample Walker Bay cells in about 20 seconds each, 10 pumps with a foot pump to max pressure, so pretty close.

Credit there to 'Solitaire'... I didn't think it would do the job but in this case he was spot on!

Excellent tool and great value @ about 30-40 Euros (can't remember). I will look again for the make and let you know, they are made in Italy. I also have a heavy duty 12 volt one as often featured here abouts, gives greater pressure but the flow rate is pants in comparison, It would take 2 mins to fill a section and in that case, I would have kept the smaller rib.

Not seen this old page before. One way of making tender use more complicated than it should be!

Wow - thats a Blast from the Past

Lots of us on here try and fit the biggest tender that we can.
Poor Roger - he was only trying to do what we all want - have a bigger tender.
Tenders always seem to be a compromise - and size is one of those compromises.

I should talk!!
But I did make mine eventually fit!!



I made the chocks with extra "V"s as a rest when lifting but it they are also good for cleaning its bottom



And then I made it fit on the bathing platform.



See - it fits!!
Its a man thing - you have to have the biggest tender you can - and then attach the biggest engine that fits.

It was the same with my previous tender - a Walker Bay - with a Yam 40!!
That was a great little boat but it didn't like the water - it was always trying to get out of the water!!
