    Havengore Bridge at Low Water

    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...

    Antares 760 thread

    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

    Engine overhaul schedule

    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.

    Bulb primer in diesel line

    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.
