How did she handle on her maiden voyage? apart from from the system failures you must have been pretty nervous?, a few pics as you head across to Pender harbour tomorrow would be nice?.:thumb:

While we're on the subject guys, how do you avoid damaging the thru hull transducers with the lifting slings?. I'm in the process of having some new, and very expensive, trans installed while the boat is on the hard for winter, so I was just wondering.

Well for the big radial engines on the aircraft we had a tank with a heater element, for the smaller motors we just drained the oil pan and warmed it up on a stove...don't let your wife catch you!! My last tractor, a Ford 8000, had a Lehman..well basically the same thing, I wouldn't even bother...

Welcome aboard Bryan, If you're sure the battery is top line and the leads are all good?, the I'll 2nd Forkliftt, a rebuilt motor is probable tight, Lehman's are slow to crank at the best of times. Now when I was a youngster... back when Pontius pilot was still a first officer!! we used the old...

Yep just saw that, projecting sustained winds of 300 km/hr gusting to 340 km/hr, going to be a dandy!!!

Wow Grant that's a real bummer!! Surely you are planning to drag this dumb sh*t in front of a judge and sue him for damages even if he is uninsured?.

GG has the identical thread over on cruiserforum.com, she last posted on Oct 7....must admit I'm missing it too.
