Try Hank @ American Marine Imports on 01789491643 he has re-co ones at a good price.

What's that beast in the background of your photos?

I've dealt with 'Hank' for over 25 years now and never had a problem that he didn't deal with professionally. Lets face it we all come across problems from time to time - as the old saying goes 'it's not IF it's WHEN'! Hank is the person I call when I don't know the answer to a problem - would...

Thanks for that Tris, indeed they are supposed to be copies, but not very good ones in my experience! Having started this thread I did receive a carb from Terry and in his defence and indeed to his credit he sent me carb FOC. However it turned out to not be a new one! I fitted it and it promptly...

Does anyone know where to get spares for these? I'm after a new carb for a 2.5hp. I've been in touch with Terry Wright @ Vector UK and have been waiting for said part to arrive since last August/September with no joy. Its got to the point where he won't answer my calls so does anyone know of...

The last post on that thread I said I was polishing up a box but in my case it's a sportsmaster so no paint to remove. My problem was that it was a second hand casing that had been in salt water so already had surface corrosion. I started with about 320 grit sand paper then progressed through...

Now Sold. Thanks to Boatmad!

I've got: 4 x 817708 tie downs 3 x 13734 retainers 3 x 71602 yokes all new and in their original bags, however the lengths aren't quite as you wanted. These are 150mm overall and 105mm pin to centre of ball but I guess yours have stretched. The tie with retainer retail at £40.00 but you can...

Assuming this engine worked fine on the boat before and you've not changed prop etc then high speed side of stator is the most likely cause. Just because you have a new stator doesn't mean its ok!

According to Boats and Outboards the problem is that the scammers are putting up an advert that is plausible, ie price and description etc all seems in line. B&0 then ok the ad, up it goes and the scammers then edit the ad to a ridiculously low price - this doesn't have to go through the...

I'm in the process of polishing up a bling bling box at the mo and wondered if anyone's got any pointers as to the best way to do it? Elbow grease is what I'm using but is there a better way? Cheers Moose.

I tried the Volvo speed rails on my Phantom 21 many years ago - didn't find any noticeable improvement in handling or speed. I did however find an escalation of money movement out of my wallet as I lost at least 3 rails despite them being attached with Silkaflex and self tappers. just kept...

Now that looks like fun! If enough interest is raised then perhaps a new class on Windermere?

Ahh great memories! And my back has started aching just looking at it!

James - that powerhead was the one that never gave a problem. It came off Roy's World Champ B-23 to go on the B-28 for RB08. Straight after it came off for a rebuild and onto the 23 again for Roy to go and win the World Championship in Guernsey later the same year. It has of course done rather a...

That's exactly it - the manual start blocks had a decompressionn hole drilled or you'd never pull it over by hand.

ok spot the novice - how the bloody hell do I upload photos from my computer?

Had a look at the weekend, got some not very good photos as the overall cover was well tied on and it was a bit windy to start undoing it all. Will post up later as left my camera at home. However I can say it's a Sorcerer - 'La Sorciere' I think.

Will take some next time I'm out that way and post 'em up. Probably not until the weekend though.

strangely enough I was out that way on Saturday and commented on the one under the tarp but never looked at it! The Lancer has been moved to various places round the island for different owners, each of which have planned to get her up and running again, but all that seems to happen is more and...

Ditto Mikko re RB08 - we drove the B28 with the driver having throttles, trim and jack plate to play with. The only gauges the driver had were the tachos and trim/jack with the nav in charge of fuel pressure, water pressure and engine temperature. Ballast tank controls and fuel transfer pumps...

Roy Smith used the dog's dick style box on his B-23 very successfully. If I remember correctly he got the Royal Navy involved in its design. The idea was along the lines of 'that's the shape of a submarine so there must be a reason for it'!

Ashley must be quite a guy as according to the entry list he's crewing in 'Blastoff' as well!!!!!!!!!

Just out of interest where was that picture taken? Moose.
