I do know trying to stay focused on a dream keeps me going. In fact I’m going to admit tying over 50 special rigs, arranging lures, etc , that’s today 😬 Brian, Jim and niggle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 No problem Hooky I am sure we are not the only ones that have wasted hours trawling through fishing and diving sites looking for that big wreck stocked to the hilt with giant fish. in reality even wreck fishing is not a guarantee, but when you hit a good one on the right day, the effort seems well worth it. and on a bad day when your chosen wreck is busy or not fishing, being able to zoom out and find a few more that you took the trouble to put into the plotter makes that effort well worth it to. have fun running her in.

Hooky Posted February 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 All done 😃ok So she’s all ready for a water test, they will get it ‘propped’ and set up New rigging throughout, new fuel lines, tank etc. Engine brace bracket, big gearbox, and a very large bill 😳 Thanks to Keith, a superb job done, it’s all the little things that impressed me, wrapped cables, every hole sealed cable ties evenly spaced.

Hooky Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Of course I could not resist a little play for a hour Things noted, very,very quiet, no vibrations. Running in is 2 hours upto 4500 rpm then 8 hours variations on the rpm. When you give it some juice it goes onto the plain in seconds 🤗, this decision on the CT gearbox was a huge success, she purrs along at 12knts doing 2600rpm so the fuel consumption should be pretty good Of course I’m not bothering about top speed but been informed will be above 30knts.
