When you drop the propeller unit off there is a seal under a metal plate on the gearbox. I've got a new seal, but can I get the old one out ? Can I flip ? I'm concerned about using excessive force for fear of casing damage, but even that doesn't want to shift the outer. You start to wonder...

I know you will all say "Told you so" and I had in fact already taken the items back about two weeks ago. I bought four different thickness rope reels and before I broke the seal on any of them I emailed Lidl with a query as to whether they were UV resistant or not, It took a long time to get...

What sort of on board barometers do people have, if any ? For my very small boat it would have to be small as I don't have walls of bulkhead to mount it to. I have both a traditional aneroid dial at home and a cheap electronic weather station one that shows a 12 hour historic trend, and frankly...

The only other thing is that the plasticiser had leached out of the plastics and made them sticky. So yesterday I spent a couple of hours...

Just got a letter telling me they will no longer be offering boat insurance, but I will be getting a requote from Haven Knox-Johnston who they have either given their data to, or maybe sold their book to. Haven use the same underwriting syndicate as Saga, Amlin Insurance SE. Personally speaking...

My little Dehler 22 has a small forepeak bunk with a basic two piece foam mattress in two covers. The mattress got waterlogged through a rain leak, so I junked the foam and kept the covers and gave them a good wash. The 'little jobs' list has finally got round to replacing the foam. SWMBO...
