Beach-combing where I keep my boat on the beach, due to recent weather a lot of the sand has been washed away leaving stones, debris and would you believe, an organic spark plug and a brand new prop spring.
Silly I know but I just couldn't help it

Great find! I wish it was that easy for me. It's 410 km to the nearest beach for me...jonmac

Interesting what you can find at low tide, not bad condition inside and the prop actually still turns!!!

I left it where I found it, you have to remember that in Jersey the tide goes out about 1 to 2 miles (2-3Km) and in some places 5 miles (7Km)
on a spring tide, this motor was at low tide
