not quite as bad as the last big wind which caused no damage to boat , trailer or cover.

Re: wartime 102 with bronze bracket
just have look on a map where Nairn is. Sadly a very very long way from London -- even as the crow flies.
At least one of our members lives fairly close.

Re: "Adequately powered" Orkney
That's the best of a displacement hull -- safe at sea and doesn't need a big engine. Nice looking boat.

Re: fish farm in our loch
I am not objecting to the fish farm - just its location - 200m uptide of a brilliant reef. The "medicines" they put in are toxic. The other side of the loch would be fine.

Re: The Weldability of a Seagull?
I think both halves should be replaced as crankcases are pairs.

fish farm in our loch
Sadly a planning request has been submitted to site a large fish farm in our very small loch. Just 300 metres to the left of the picture below. Some 200 metres out from the jetty is Pooltiel reef. IMG_1538.1.jpg No doubt there is someone in the forum that can put a well worded objection together on ...

Re: Transom saver
Lowering the towball by 4" gave me 6" clearance under the outboard. In fact a roller post will touch ground first.
Not one single rule to prevent me going on the sea from my local (6 minutes away) ramp.
Arn't we lucky.

Re: FVP transom clamp corrett?
It's a good looking bracket. I would just use it and enjoy it. After all it is a seagull bracket and not many , if any , can say it isn't correct
Re: Fuel Tap
you need to make the cork swell. Put the tap in boiling water for around 10 minutes. See FAQ page. If that doesn't cure the leak. Cheap repacement corks are on ebay but look under motor cycle parts not outboards.

Re: Transom saver
According to the RNLI 80% of lives lost at sea in the UK would have been saved if those people had worn a life jacket.
Many of those were in Scotland were it is seen as macho if you don't. I don't go out in rough weather but everyone on my boat wears one.

Re: Transom saver
The longshaft version 27kg. Modern outboards must not be laid flat. With just a 6 minute drive to the ramp , I like to do my pre launch check at home and then it's just life jackets on and out into the water. Home to water in around 15 minutes. Back home after - It's off the transom and straight int...
