What A Ripper!
You got that right!
We took
the boat out for a spin,
Started off at Salt house and went to River head
15km/h with a silver century and 4 people on board, against
the tide.
The lifter worked a charm (video V)
The problem came when I handed
the helm over to Jacob (10 yrs old) Thats
the point where we realised we had
the cable for
the steering wrapped arount
the drum
the wrong way!
He turned hard right we turned hard left and about
the same time
the outboard swiveled sideways going WOT!!
The interesting thing was
the outboard was ment to be
bolted to
the stern.
We slowly continued to riverhead as we where past
the half way point (my wife had not done
the trip before) then turned round and made our way home.
When we got
the boat home we had a better look at
the transom, only to find
the timber was a tad rotten! Glass over ply can hide problems some times.
The more I dug around
the mre rot I found. So....
I made it into a walk through.
More to come!
