Saving Old Seagulls

Thanks for the help. I'm getting the boat moved this week so I'll post pics then hopefully you guys will help me with your knowledge on add ons. It requires a bit of paint and the windows put back in, but I hope to maybe add some navigation lights and stuff, so you're help will be appreciated. Gerar...

Hi Guys Got a question, don't know if it's a dumb one or not regarding bigger engines. If a boat is suggested to be suitable for a 20hp engine and you put a 60hp engine on it, would it be a simple case of giving the engine 1/3 throttle to reduce the hp, My new boat is recommended for 50hp but owners...

Hi Guys here's a quick look at my new project, as you can see it's not rubber.

Very long memory my friend. Don't know about going up in the world but it's a step up indeed from my rubber vessel. I will send pics asap. The guy strip stuff off it to give it a paint but lost interest, now it's sitting without the windows in, masked off etc, so it's going to be a month or so befor...

Thanks guys. This is a nice wee 5.3mtr boat so a crew is not required but I will go down to Troon marina or Largs, and enquire about any courses.

Hi Guys I've got a question for the seafaring guys. Having just pottered about with dinghies and the likes, I'm in the process of buying a Shetland 535 boat with a 60 hp Mercury and a Clutched Century for auxillary. Having not been involved in boating I'm wondering where I should look to learn the b...

I use a three legged deglazerr from machine mart

Hi guys, the fuel when turned on pours out the tickler hole, non stop. I can see lots of grit, is this probably the problem or should I be looking at something else?

Hi Guys, just a wee thank you for the recent help on my new Century project, I'm pleased to say after reading my service manual I put the piston valve in correctly and "hey presto", what a buzz. Now going to do a run in the tank to see the water flow. One small problem, the carb is leaking...

Like the shades

Thanks Keith. As much as it was good to hear it start it was a panic to shut it down.

Hi Guys, just got the usual buzz after getting my first start up from my Century, however I've got the usual teething problems. Can anyone tell me how to search for old topics as I'm sure my questions have been answered over and over. I got this century in poor condition so I gave it the general cle...

It's an aid for helping people walk, usually the oldies (like Charles) ha ha. To explain the joke, it's mostly the elderly who go to Cliff Richard concerts now, mostly with hearing problems, thus you will note there's not many people go to his concerts now. Anyway, back to my engine. The coil seems ...

Sorry, thanks Oyster, I'm pleased to hear I've got it right so far.

Charles, I'm sure you know all too well " a man must do what a man must do". I've never seen so many zimmers in one place, and that was the stage ha ha. At least the wife enjoyed it.
