Don't think I'd get you from here. 😉 Have a great day, I'm sure you will. Not jealous!

 

Terry.

Good luck and keep us posted 👍

Tight lines Martin. Look forward to reading all about it later.

I was almost there.....

 

Got as far as putting the tail in the water before I found my steering had seized. Very annoying as it was a glorious day.

 

5 hours later, we managed to free the steering cable with some liberal use of the universal adjustment tool.

 

Not such a successful first trip of the year.

Or " Brummie screwdriver" as it's known in the midlands.

indeed! any time someone asks why the british car industry fell into decline should be made aware of this phrase. 

 

i was a bit annoyed that a 3 year old boat has seen something fail that has lasted 20 years on other boats i have owned.

 

I have never had to replace a teleflex cable before. the engine end of the cable had locked up and the steering box end had exploded to let the inner cable escape when under load.

Not made in this country this time though.
