Adam F Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Its been a busy few weeks and she is starting to look more like a water ready boat each day. The engine will be going in, in about 3 weeks time. All of the 'toys' for the wheelhouse have arrived from a uber helpful Matt Sydenham of MES Ltd in Poole. 99% of the dusty, smelly glass work is done. Still on track for a November launch.

charlieannear Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 All your hard work will soon come to fruition. It's already like November outside! Quote
Simon Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 I like the toys. That screen sure looks BIG!!! You've done a lot of work, well done. Quote
toerag Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 quick questions/points - Do you have a trim gauge for the leg? The windows look like the ones on my MI - if they don't sit particularly level under way then yuo'll get water coming in through the drain slots in the outside if you're taking lots of water over the bow. Mine have the sliding part at the rear, I think newer ones have the sliding bit towards the bow. Fuel pre-filter - commercial coding won't allow the glass bowl. Looking good though! Quote
just add water Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 well done looking good all looks very similar Dan Quote
Adam F Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Posted September 4, 2008 Do you have a trim gauge for the leg? Yep - of course!! The windows look like the ones on my MI - if they don't sit particularly level under way then yuo'll get water coming in through the drain slots in the outside if you're taking lots of water over the bow. Mine have the sliding part at the rear, I think newer ones have the sliding bit towards the bow. Came from Marine Window fabrications, and are coded. If they dont sit level, then sod all we can do now as they are in!! They dont leak at the moment with all the rain we have had or a hosepipe, and they are only held in with a hand full of screws - but thanks for the heads-up. Fuel pre-filter - commercial coding won't allow the glass bowl. I know - but it wont get coded straight away, and if it does then we swap to a metal bowl. Adam Quote
shytalk Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 id be interested to know where it says that glass bowls are not allowed for coded boats ive coded 5 boats now and it has never been a problem maybe with petrol but not diesel Quote
