I asked them recently and it was in the order of 750 quid - hence I went down the other route. (see above)

From Seals Direct I used CS-1244 - it's a little flat so I put a round solid neoprene cord behind to bulk it out. Worked quite well.

I've got casting upper, a load of other bits listed on ebayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/garethh2005/m ... 4340.l2562

PM me for details

Any condition, cash waiting.

Thanks

I considered that - I have two control lines - so I swopped them over, same result.

Starters are fine, I have a problem with one engine - it starts for 2 seconds then cuts out then doesn't start again or 30-40 seconds. I stripped the carb and it's getting fuel, I've swopped coil, controls etc from other engine, but still the same. Am about to do the swop of rectifier and ECU unless...

I know I should be able to measure it but I can't get near boat at moment. What is the mounted angle of engine relative to the horizontal - I have 12 or 18 degrees in my head for some reason.

Thanks

Has anyone any recomendations as to whether and if so how to do the oil cooling on an Albatross.I've heard of a coil in the sump feed from an intake and also "greedy boards" on the sump to increase oil capacity. Any ideas/insights

Thanks

I have had moments of joy in my life and firing up those outboards was one of them! I can't tell you how happy I was to hear them rumble into life. Took a lot of cranking, but I've had them run for an hour this morning. Unbelievable really, thanks for advice and I guess I'm wiser for the experience....

I stupidly managed to sink my workboat Friday/Saturday - cause was an emergency bilge pump having too long a hose, accidently left in river to back-siphon. Ouch. Anyways got it lifted and pumped, but the 2 outboards are my main concern. It's freshwater and I've isolated them. They're Mariner bigfoot...
