niggle Posted August 25, 2017 Report Posted August 25, 2017 Been a while..........since the beginning of June when the gimbal bearing got a bit noisy. I decided to have engine out for a clean up and change any corroded parts, it wasn't to bad just a new dipstick tube and repainted I serviced the drive and freshened up the anti foul yesterday and as the engine had new anodes I changed all the ones on tabs and drive,interestingly the 2 starboard ones were worse than the port ones.Now I wonder if the boat on my starboard which always has shore power is the cause?...!! Also my batteries were fine after 3 months of not being used or recharged I took her out tonight for a run at full throttle along the training bank and all was fine so i'm all good to go again See you out there Steve S, steve m, Matt and 12 others 15 Quote

Coddy Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Did you know there is a 10kt speed limit in the swash/boat channel ???? Don't worry there are plenty of gin palaces going faster even in the harbour Quote
billy2shots Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Did you know there is a 10kt speed limit in the swash/boat channel ???? Don't worry there are plenty of gin palaces going faster even in the harbour Same rules don't apply to some it seems. The same idiots get within spitting distance of me whilst at anchor doing 20kts. What's that all about? PAD 1 Quote

Don't worry there are plenty of gin palaces going faster even in the harbour Dave no excuse but 6pm and no other boats apart from the one that went by me while I was doing 10 knots,closest point I could sea trial just in case I did break down.
