1 cod weighed in, that's a little sad! Hopefully a sign they are yet to arrive properly! Well done Stuie and keV. Rob

Maybe take up golf? There is no way that topping up oil should cause a gear issue. Unless you have disturbed the linkage under the cowling. Or have you just checked them at the same time and infact the controls were clunky already? Are you putting it ingear with \ without the engine running? in \ out of water? How did they perform the last time you tried? Was any work carrid out in the meantime? Too many questions and not enough info. Go with the golf! Rob

Enjoy!

Solenoid for the starter, not sure about tilt and trim, unless that goes through the same unit. Check all battery connections are as clean as can be, esp. under the cowling. R

Enjoy!

Very nice, i have had a VERY reliable souce advise me they had been seen of Portland yesterday. One day you will get that Mako, keep trying. Rob

How about Coddy's Son - ZRS Engineering?

Haha, brilliant!

One of these grab tools perhaps:

Welcome! Sounds like a pain in the a&£e! Oil reservoir not sump, but if the lid blocks the pickup you will melt your pistons to the bore. Get it sorted!

Yep, came close once. This close:

I have something similar that I have in a peli case and bigger 4Ah battery as I want it powered for days but not from the boat battery due risk of drain. Peace of mind when left on mooring or on trailer away from home certainly.

Enjoy Stuie!

For any of the newbies, here is a video from a previous trip 2 yrs ago:

That was a submarine Tony or Nessy!

Ideas from members are always welcome, don't be shy. Just don't change a comp, hahaha! As mentioned above, it is a good summer comp and no doubt will move back next year. We so postpone and sometimes lose comps due to weather, I think we live in the wrong place for boating! Maybe 2 complimentary hobbies needed, such as boating and kite flying.

That's not really the point of it - reason\history of the 48hr is you can fish as much or as little as you like. Overnight if you wish etc. Our usual comps are limited to a short window, this one is the exception. In my experience it is best to not change the rules of a comp last minute, that is a can of worms!

Serial number and you might be able to work out the year. Is it 1977 or 2007? A pic and someone might know.

year? model? more info needed to help. Rob

What engine do you have? I have a selection of Yamaha manuals. Rob

Surely you have access to a tractor living in Wiltshire!?!? Like you say it won't be easy unless you can get to a train station and get to Poole. If you do manage to, it'll be good to see you out on the water again! Rob
