Quattro

Yikes... the list goes on

All great responces, thanks, i'm wondering if the motor can be withdrawn underneath without the top drum being loosened?

No, it's a flat top, and for rope only, no chain gypsy. I'm guessing Noah traded it in.

It's got to have been many moons over the yard arm since the anchor winch was last given a birthday. Before my time anyway. I'm not sure what brand it is, possibly Maxwell, but the only thing I can see to dismantling it is a straight head screw centre top of the bronze turny thing. I've tried, but it won't budge. Impact screw driver? Or do I just leave It? Dont futz around with what ain't broke. It's just that it's pretty slow now, but still pulls the anchor up. Thoughts anyone?

Bucks hard stand at Grangers Point.

Sorry, gotta say, one ugly rudder. I can see why you want to go back to original. Can't help, but good luck

I had a ss one made. Lasted a good 7 years, and just starting to fail now. I gave them the flange to work off and they did the rest for about $120. Well worth it.

My thoughts are with you. Month or so back I lost oil pressure dramatically and ended up siphoning around 4 litres of oil out of the Engine tray.... after I had added more. Luckily found that the external oil supply line to the cylinder head had cracked, so was an easy fix in the end, but had envisioned pulling the motor out. Good luck to you

Good to know. Thanks all

Cheers for that. New knowledge.

Have to remove it to replace an oil feed line to upper cylinder. I'm thinking Just a couple of bolts, unless anyone can wise me up. Older buhk 20.

Thanks for the reply. So it's nothing to do with making it last longer, or make it operate better then...

Seen discussion on this thread before, but i have a question. I will have to replace the exhaust port, out of the rear if the manifold, header??? The bit where the raw water joins the exhaust pipe. We replaced it with stainless steel one about 8 years ago, so not too unhappy with its age. I do note from pics that some wrap this with something, obviously not flammable. And possibly wire around that. What and Why?

There's a spare keel somewhere near Billy Goat Point if your keen

Ya wouldn't read about it, would ya? Oh yeah, just did.

BBYC is members only. And not year round. Hard stand has to be cleared through summer. Great price though.

Contact my brother, Ross. He has one vacant currently. 0212598463

Don't be disparaged. I persevered and, fingers crossed have been pumped up for last 6 weeks. Ready to throw it all away after the first several attempts. I hope I'm not tempting fate 😁

Err, from later December onwards

If anyone has a temp swing mooring they can rent out for 8 to 10 weeks please let me know. 4 tonne, 32 feet, Draws 1.6m please pm me Nick

We were in Koh Samui in September 89. Asked my lady to marry me there.

Will do. Apparently he made some fine boats in his sober moments. I know. I got one.

Might have got my wires crossed somewhere i think😂

Your coming out at Bucks? Graingers Pt hardstand? I'm on the haul out team there so likely to see you sometime. If thats right do you have a date to come out yet?
