Re: remote control - wanted

Grant, got any pics of the mercury controller? Also do you know what engine it came off; they're either 4.5 to 20hp or 35hp and up? One pushes the throttle, one pulls.

Re: The Arun Run 2009

Very gloomy, but what a wonderful day regardless. Breakfast at the marina, followed by a leisurely run up river from about 11am-ish and then back down against the tide (like swimming in treacle) to the marina and a late lunch followed by a slip out.
