24 Feb - Surprise task of the day

Last nights’ conversations resulted in Paul offering to come and help Nick tackle our larger 9HP outboard that has been languishing on the back of the boat for almost 3 years. It came with the original dinghy that had a central consul and steering wheel. When that dinghy died from UV exposure the outboard needed converting to a hand tiller. The hours Nick had to spend just ordering the 60+ parts needed exhausted any interest he had for the task (there is no ready to buy conversion kit).  Paul, luckily for us, is an extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic engineer and has spent the day making it all appear easy – and fun!


We don’t have any fuel for it though, so will have to wait for its resurrection to be complete.
