Me too. - I appear to be in the process of rescuing 2002. . . . . . . now let me see. . . . . . That spare Holbay I got with 2003 is lying around doing nothing. :hmmm: E128 cam? Twin exhausts? (2002 has what looks like a second one blanked off) Could be a quick and dirty way into the water while doing 2003 properly.

new problem but solvible
the slight water leak which was a concern last wednesday became a massive leak yesterday after our jolly in beccles , to the degree we nearly went down :help: ...lol
the p-bracket which was recently fitted lost two bolts and worked the others lose ..lucky we was nearly at the slipway

just so i know ....whats the best way of securing everything up ( apart from the obvious do them up more than finger tight ) .......any particular , nuts bolts , gaskets , mastics we should use
