great white Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 After fairly extensive repairs the boat is now back on her mooring. Problem was caused by a failed intermediate shaft bearing, that also damaged the bell housing lake Engineering repaired [Re Sleeved] the housing, New bearings and seals and a few other jobs were done to the engine by the boys and I Last weekend engine in, leg on, reconnect everything Touch up the anti fouling and launch today. Look out fishes Back in time for Junior comp part two on Sunday, Air Show and an Indian summer Charlie rich185, Brian, Stuie and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Blimey Charlie, bloody inboards!!! Anything preventative that could have stopped his or was it failure of the said bearing? Good to hear she is afloat! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks guys Looking forward to getting out there again fishing. Thanks for all the support lads, especially Dave and Chris for offering alternative boats for the Junior Comps and Dave for a trip last weekend on Reel Magic, what a boat that is. Can recommend Dan or Sam as able engineers for anyone needing assistance, they saved Dad a fortune over the past few weeks. The hardest thing for me is remembering that they no longer need to be told how to do things. Dan removes and replaces the leg almost routinely and his tools are better than mine LOL.
