Re: Fixing the 20 footer

I will remove the exhaust tube and take the power head off the drive tube to have a good look in the exhaust port.
If I can't see any thing there I will take the head off.

Re: Fixing the 20 footer

Took her out for a run today. It was wet, cold and windy but we can't let a little bad weather stop the testing. :roll: All seemed to work well. The lifting bracket lifted the outboard nicely (and lowered it) the steering turned to port when we turned to the port (unlike the first test :oops: ) Here...

Re: Fixing the 20 footer

Got a bit of paint on it now! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b302/malenudge/Chris/Seagull/IMG_0366.jpg If you didn't know you would not think the stern had been cut out at all. Steering is back in, this time I hope it is set up the correct. The remote throttle is also set up. http://i22.photobuck...

Re: take a look at this

for me the two ceeeeement mixers would wash garments a lot better
Now where is the fun in that.

That Seagull would have started first pull if it had a spark plug!
The plug was removed for cinematic purposes (that gull has so much compression the kids couldn't pull it over) :lol:

Re: take a look at this

spin dry in the cement mixer :lol:
Now that's not a bad idea. Just change the gear ratio around and it would be flying.
OR.... Add a bit of petrol and a match to the clothes in the mixer (leaving it going slow) and it would be a hot tumble drier :lol:
