Sorry mates I am not going to make it on Sunday for round the island, I've not used the boat for ages and I knew I had a leak at the transom into the engine bay, I though it was the diffuser under the drive but it looks like the transom shield is not seating on the transom properly, god knows why it should do it now after all these years but there you go. It not a hard fix but a lot of work, it means drive, engine, back plate and shield off so everything out of the back end, as I said not hard to do just a lot of work and it won't be done in time, it's my fault I should have had a look sooner, best of luck and have a good day, you know my thoughts are with you

We have had a £20 donation and £5 gift aid with a message to say:

Good luck to all taking part especially Ian of C2 Ribs. Have a blast and here's raising a glass to all the loved ones lost to cancer. From Mark, Laura, Craig and Patch. MB Marine Sales.

Thanks for your donation and support and also the help you have given me in the past
