Rydlyme worked well for me, took the thermostat out and ran the engine. Left old zincs in the bottom of the bucket and it seemed quite kind to those while being brutal to the limescale. There's a...

If you go with Peak they give you 60mm box section rated for 750kg. If you ask for 70mm section it gives you better suspension, looks less weedy and they didn't charge any extra.

Short shaft doesn't work very well as aux motor because of sea swell. Sucks in air, ventilates and loses grip. Seems very powerful.
