A few changes for the better, quick connect for the main water inlet, power steering and power trim, although having seen all the electronics maybe they're quick "disconnect"!

No problem, it was all ratchet strapped to the bed, and it's within the trucks carrying capacity.

I'm a bit disappointed that nobody has asked what the bicycle pump on the motor is for!

Oh alright, as you asked so nicely I'll tell you!

It's for draining down the motor, you push it onto the "actuator", and after a few pumps valves open by air pressure and let all the raw water out of the system!

And here's the customer getting a little hands on experience.

And for those of you with a Phantom, your boat once hung from this gantry!
