I do not know who but somebody once said "height of tide in metres at Southend gives the same height in feet over the shallowest part of the Havengore crossing. Thus 4 meters of tide height at Southend gives 4 feet of depth over the Havengore route. "
If you go through please let us know if it...
It would be useful if you would post a picture of the other parts of the coupling, which I assume are still connected to the propshaft and gearbox flange.
These any good?

The outboard had no other support, just clamped to the pad on the outside of the rail. The other bracket is for the horseshoe lifebelt with the bit of elastic to hold it on
Front mounted towbars, often with detachable balls, make reversing a trailer so much easier but I have not seen one that screws into the vehicle recovery towing socket. A good idea though, maybe a DIY job. Front Push Towbars For Many Vehicles From Western Towing .

My view: If sure the studs are good and you have good conductivity from anode to whatever it is protecting then I would clean off the white stuff with abrasives (but do not use a steel/wire brush) and use it for one season.
Hi, depends on how much time it took for the amount of wastage so far and whether you have good electrical connection to whatever it it protecting. I would be more worried about checking those fastening studs given the amount of corrosion
Agree with others. That is a young engine with little usage. Are there any parts where access is difficult with engine in place? If it has a steel sump would be worth hecking for corrosion and condition of the paint. I would certainly consider new engine mounts. Otherwise, just put it back.
When I had the same problem the battery charger was definitely the reason but the battery was not warm and continued in service for another 4 years so was not damaged.
Oh dear, not nice working over mud, mut at least you did it! My prop anode does not last much beyond 3 or 4 months. I always keep a spare, and a spare fixing screw, on the boat.
Having all flexible fuel hose is common. If they are marked with the appropriate ISO rating ( ISO 7840) then they are suitably fire proof. I have never see a priming bulb that has a similar fire proof rating.
I've just added the new buoy positions, as published in East Coast Pilot yesterday East Coast Pilot - Latest News | ECP , to my Admiralty chart of last year.
