Saving Old Seagulls

There are few Seagulls which produce more than 2.5hp. Who's got a dynamometer?

Bow Thrusters ehh . . .
Methinks that deserves a whole new link. If the water pump output was maybe trebled (ie fit two more impellors to the drive shaft within an enlarged pump body), the outlet stream could be diverted by lengthened pipe to the bow.
This then is connected to a shaft drive cam operated manual pivot, and the thrust jet could be strategically placed for accurate mooring facility . . .

If brains were made of dynamite, is this a candidate who wouldn't be able to raise his hat!

I must get down the shed to start work on my bow thruster.

I am now ready for next weeks event, have just made a trim tab, anti suck, anti cav plate.
Lets hope it stops the prop sucking in air, also it may help lift the transom a touch.
