Well she looks a bit monsterous!...

[ollyit]

Got some mates over to help me lift the Yamaha on tonight, looks rather large have to say, looks like the captivation plate should line up nicely with the keel though

[Louise]

Looking good, but if the captivation plate lines up with the keel, where does that put the cavitation plate?!

Sorry - couldn't resist!

[jwalker]

Louise, have you been taking lessons from a well known forum boss?

[Louise]

Ah, I'm only having a laugh! I greatly admire people like Olly who are able to do all this rigging type stuff. I wouldn't have a clue!

[ollyit]

thanks guys, you got me going for a few seconds!! - i thoughy "oww no what have i done wrong now!"

[Louise]

Sorry Olly, didn't mean to worry you! Please feel free to wind me up any time!!

[ollyit]

Sorry Ollyit, we're hijacking your thread. No pics at the mo but it should be going for weighing within the next week, with luck. Then, a couple of weeks later, there may be a big day.

[jwalker]

Ollyit, I hope you're going to clean up and paint that lower unit and prop. We wouldn't want ribnetters to get a bad name, would we?

[Louise]

You're such a perfectionist, JW! (Not saying that's a bad thing, though! )

Dunno, but I'd try a Yammy dealer.

[Richard B]

Or give Andy Clark a ring at The Bosun's Mate http://www.bosunsmate.co.uk
