Pressure relief valve
One of my pressure relief valves has failed (Leafield A6). Has anyone succeeded in changing a valve without cutting into the tubes to gain access to the rear? All suggestions welcome.

Before you purchase a 7m rib you need to check the weight. I guess a Ballistic 7m and the trailer will weight about 1.8T. Although this is legal with your 2T towing limit, it is not necessarily a...

Revenger 23 prop advice
I have just converted my Revenger 23 from a single Mariner 135 to twin Mercury 90 two strokes. Is anyone with a similar combination able to provide a prop recommendation based on experience?

Revenger 23 - re-engine
Thread revival two years later. After two seasons of use the old Mariner 135 stopped and refused to start again. The boat had originally been built with twin engines so this seemed a good time to go...

Mariner/Mercury rev counter
The rev counter on my Mariner 135 V6 two stroke has stopped working. It registers while the engine is cranking but returns to zero as soon as it starts. I have isolated the grey wire that links to...
