Hi Nigel, If you may be interested in selling the long shaft stuff, please get in touch. I have a short shaft motor, if you need anything let me know... Thanx

@@BalkanShipyards Hi Rael, I haven't got around to it yet. I was going to use parts from my short shaft motor but unfortunately lost that overboard. That means some of the parts from the long shaft i will have to shorten as shown in the excellent video. Where are you located? Cheers Nigel

@@nigb1I replied a couple times, though both replies disappeared... is it because I added my email? has this platform got something against people leaving it and getting stuff done elsewhere?? TH-cam is special I suppose... Anyway Nigel, I got what you need, and need your 5 inch extension, driveshaft and pipe. I will send you what you need and pay for your extension. If that suits you, leave me a comment on the attached vid, maybe I can send you my email on my channel..?... Take care mate, oh, by the way I'm in Bulgaria. Here's a Balkan Shipyards Vid: th-cam.com/video/pjvGeBJFNyw/w-d-xo.html

Because you need to make sure the water gallery from the water pump is sealed so that water enters the head and doesn't leak out. Also the pressure from the exhaust gases could stop the water flow if not sealed from the water gallery. Hope this helps answer your question.

@@smurfboat Sorry for asking these basic questions, usually the carb is all I have to tinker with. Is the "Water Gallery" inside the power head, so the water comes up pipe from impeller to it, or what is the Water Gallery? And am I right that the foot below the power head the top of the leg is empty and no water, just has the drive shaft, shift rod, and the upwelling water pipe? How does exhaust exit the motor, I have to look up so much stuff, ha.

Gazpic, yes it dries out at low water so you have to make sure the tides are right if you want to get all the way round!

Need a crash helmet 😂 waiting for my new honwave to be delivered and will give it a go 👍

Gazpic We started at Itchenor, went out past the Witterings crossed the Solent via the forts to Ryde. Then crossed back and entered Portsmouth harbour, went round the top of Portsmouth under the bridges and then returned to Itchenor past halying island...

Quite a trip ! Lovely day for it. I only go around Emsworth at the mo due to having an Intex excursion and an electric motor 😂 still fun though. As I said I've ordered a honwave t38 and a 6hp engine and can't wait to get that out on the water.

Grant Broeckel it’s a mandarin goby

Vroom it’s been collected from the sea

You can collect any Natural Salt Water as long as it’s a clean source, meaning not around harbour or boat docks or any sewage or plant factories as there are contaminates. If you think about it where do corals and fish live... exactly in the sea, what better source of water can there be right!!!!!

Maybe you install them wrong?

Yes

The tank is 4'x2'x2' with a 3' sump.

Oh okay so 120 gallons, I think that having the large ammount of empty space on the top half makes the tank look like it's in deep water rather than just in an aquarium, really like the aquascaping, feels really natural.

Water should be used whitin 2 hours to dont kill all the live bacteria, this is how i do. Any additional news?

+Frammenti di vita I've stored water for over a week before. as long as you keep it aerated and some movement (airstone will do) it will be fine.

thank you

Hi, how many times do you need to change it?

Nope, just leave it to stand overnight next to the radiator in the hall then syphon it in during a water change.If there is any sediment it drops out leaving clear water.

Short answer, I don't. ,Just leave it to stand overnight next to the radiator in the hall then syphon it in during a water change. If there is any sediment it drops out leaving clear water.

Yes it is Paul. :-) Belonged to a guy called Oliver when I bought it. I've had it about 2 years now. It needed a bit of TLC when I got it. I also changed the graphics and added some bling, but you probably spotted that ;-)

+paul whetton Which pontoon? Royal vic is quite accessible unless you have a keel. I'd say about 3 hours each way of high tide...

Sorry mate, but that's a load of horse shit. The truth is, these kind of tabs ONLY lift the stern, which CAN help mask or compensate for imperfect setups, usually if arse heavy or underpowered. They MAY also improve certain aspects of the ride in certain conditions. This in itself is not a bad thing - it can be great and some boats really benefit. Making up crap blanket statements like above IS a bad thing, nobody benefits. Tabs will DECREASE top speed for most all boats, unless you couldnt get on the plane in the first place, i.e underpowered. They CAN increase speed at a particular rpm by maintaining a clean plane at less speed, but insinuating they transform any boat into an offshore weapon is simply spreading misinformation.
