great white Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well done Martin and all the busy engineers today. what timing I bet you and Dean will be up early We had a glitch, not good to see oil in the water above the stern drive as you load the boat with fuel. But thanks to some fast and friendly service from James Sydenham and the guys at PMS, parts were made available within 30 min of a call [after closing time]. Dan and I nipped across town PDQ to pick them up I wish I had a camera as Dan in a pair of chest waders changed the sterndrives steering ram with me and Sam on the bow to get the leg up a bit. We are on again Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 My final post in this thread to say that we are very pleased with the new engine After 20 hours of running in the engine is performing beautifully. My thanks to Mermaid Marine for getting us sorted in time for Alderney my only regret being I wish we had got to the end a little quicker. Also thanks to Brian and the team at Poole Marine Service for being so very accomodating with fitting in with our last minute timings. And thanks to all of you for your support and advice Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
