congrats ozy, you might try raising the top of the transom where the motor bolts in doing this you lift the entire motor up by say 50mm, which then in turn brings the prop closer to the v of the boat you could also try those plastic fins you bolt to the leg. if you choose to add height to the transom make sure they weld a box section on to the top of the transom & not just bolt a section on , its a lot of buggering around however a bolted section will generally crack over time. hope this helps.

WELL DONE LEELEE TOP RIG YOULL ALWAYS BE SAFE NO BILGE PUMP JUST WATCH IT RUN OUT THE SCUPPERS.

narralakes I dont know how big your boat is & any boatie should render assistance in any case, but a 27 meg radio fixed or portable is a necessity i reckon, one call for assistance on the 27 normally brings the guardian angle. This doesnt excuse the posers that ignored your plight . If you do get a 27 meg join the volunteer coastal patrol radio log for about $ 12.00 they will give your boat a dedicated call sign & log you in & out via radio ramp to ramp anywhere in australia. Theyll even notify S.A.R if you dont report 1 hour after your S A R WATCH expires.

Pedro sorry i havent replied xmas party & all. aged or bad fuel was detected in a 15 hp evy i owned 2 years ago, johnson got involved & reluctantly repaired it under warranty. many 2 stroke oils are mineral based & hence go off break down quickly, it will damage the pistons, seals & the fuel system. you may never have a problem all i know is what had shown me on stripping the motor. put another way the 2 stroke oil is used to lubricate the engine correct whilst running, would you use old oil in your car. If you dont use premix fuel [ 2 stroke ] the oil will not deteriate anywhere near as quick. many blokes use hi octane in there motors, bad shit as hi octane has a high temp at detonation therefore making the motor perform at a higher temp exactly the same as if you lean the 2 stoke mix . hope this helps . ed

Just a small thing , always refuel your boat after each use as air in the fuel tank causes condensation. even a 3/4 full tank will condensate. omc make a fuel conditioner for prolonged storage eg : greater than 90 days. also 2 stroke fuel only lasts 14 days mixed, & should be chucked after that. no-one does but warranty is void if the manufacturer realizes. the company STIHL has doubled their warranty if the customer uses their synthetic brand 2 stroke oil on their product range, they reckon it has reduced the w/claims by a third. But only use outboard 2 stroke if its a 2 stroke motor.

She,s had a few cosmetic changes since the photo. Ill take some digi pics of the interior as soon as the missus trusts me with the new digi. some might find the kill / swim tank interesting.cheers Ed.
