    Prop struts

    I would not touch it with force. Take a hacksaw and time and cut a couple of longitude slots in the cutlass and it will pop out with out any more damage. Freeze the new cutlass overnight drop lather in liquid soap and pop it in. Hardly any force will be required...

    1981 Cheoy Lee 67

    They are 3208 NA's (Naturally aspirated) Max 210hp, so consumptions is not bad and the tankage gives transatlantic range etc. Probably burning around 7 galls an hour at 1800rpm.Producing 66hp at that speed.

    Overturned catamaran

    The only hatches I would be aware of are the escape hatches normally fitted on the inboard side of each hull. They are normally extremely strong and durable. I might add that Ive done a few ocean passages on Cats etc . A well sailed cat would eat those conditions.

    Steering Hydraulics

    Like Rmason I rebuilt mine a few times with a leak from the shaft. In the end I bought cheap boxes of seals from HBR freight. Measured my shaft (miniscule wear and fiteed slightly larger seals and leak s topped. Cannot remember if i used imperial instead of metric or vice versa.

    New wifi system

    The system I saw is a newer company who had developed this cellular box, and tied to tmobile and one of the other carriers was joining them. He praised the system. I recognized it having come across it recently but cannot find my details. It was also priced right!
