The starter motor is not jammed, it is just not
receiving power from the control panel. Having changed the fuel filters on the
engine Keith can now start the engine headfirst in the engine compartment with a
screwdriver over 2 terminals . Not ideal ! There is presumably a faulty
connection somewhere between the starter button and the starter
motor.
Having tried unsuccessfully to trace the problem
ourselves [well K actually] the manager from the Moorings base kindly came and
had a look but had no joy either. He thinks it might be a solenoid switch and is
coming back later with a working one which may solve the problem..or perhaps he
will think of something else!
We have got the chartplotter working again with a
new cartridge from Austalia.
While sitting here for a few days I investigated
hairdressers.' Billie Snips mens and women haircuts' did not inspire confidence
so I set to work on my highlights with a paintbrush and a packet of blond
colour. Not quite like Headmasters but Keith says it looks
O.K.
We have had some very good food and are hoping to
catch the football and/or rugby tomorrow.
