Saving Old Seagulls

Thats all very well Buzzok, but the last time I bolted a Holden to my dinghy, it sank.

Wouldnt a Seagull watch need a very small strap?

Well, that doesnt surprise somehow....I will just make sure the flywheel nut doesnt come off. In passing, its not a dome nut so it could be the wrong type.

Just packed my £29 Forty up to take to Holland and noticed quite a lot of lift at the flywheel.
Haven't had time for a proper check but I dont think its the flywheel. Motor runs well. Any ideas?

To be faster than your mate''s Century, you need what I have........



a DAF 475 hidden under the floor!

Ebay buyers can be as bad...I sold a phone as not working, Guy paid for it and wrote back threatening to leave a bad feedback cos it didn't work.

Are you sure you don't have an air leak at the base of the cylinder?

Dear Double Dutch,
Whereabouts in the Nederlands are you?
I'm back in West Knollendam with a Seagull for my optimist (now known as Optimastic ) in September

This is a surprizingly common fault...its happened to me once or twice...worth investigating!

On the subject of SWMBO chucking stuff overboard, there is still an engagement ring in the lagoon at Zaandam............
