Hi HG. My pump bolts aren't seized, I just can't get at one of them due to the limited space. Still trying though. Part of the journey.
I've cut the short end shorter but no joy. I am now using the bit I cut off, about 1cm long, and will put a socket from a miniature socket set on it and see if I can get enough leverage. My next option will be to cut the long arm down to see if I can get it into a good position.
Thank you both for the suggestions.
HG. I got the Allen bolts out of the flywheel using the method you suggested. I left the top one in but very loose so the flywheel wouldn't
fall off onto my foot, however I couldn't pull the flywheel off. I even bribed my mate with a cup of coffee to give me a hand but with the two
of us pulling it wouldn't budge. I think we managed to get a slight looseness by trying to 'twist' it off but that was as far as we got.
So do I need to hire a puller and if so can I use the belt groove to locate the puller in. How did you get yours off HG.
yum freshly caught blue fin tuna steak on the fry pan does that count on what I did to my boat today?
Thanks HG. There's a cover behind the flywheel (which may be the scource of the leak - gasket??) Is it likely to be damaged (bent in) using levers like that?.
Yes a clout with a hammer might help, I was tempted to do that but I didn't have a lump of wood and I thought I might damage the teeth
so I resisted. What you are telling me is all good HG.
Its sitting on a short boss on the crank wriggle some and to start it off a tap with a block of wood and hammer and or levers wriggle
This is what you need , get the 7 cm I accidently brought the 5cm for my front cabin but the rear cabin is 7cm I brought that down of my old yacht. eBay is the place.
Ive cut some 4 inch foam that some one gave me, but Ive been looking at the 7 of 8 cm memory foam last night on E bay.
Ill use the foam for now as my boat dollars needed else where at the moment but will make a good one next year.
I laded down on it after Id cut it and fitted it in the V birth ,it seems comfy and big enough.
Ive bench tops draws and finish of the stove piping .
Ive been bending up a forward mount for the bow rails with a support for the anchor roller just out of mild steel to get it right then make the real one out of stainless
I pick up my bow rails tomorrow I hope there been electro plate at MME Seaford along with my front stay mount.
Not a good photo , Ive a bit of trimming to do yet
Personally I would get her rigged and powered and finish the fit out while living aboard providing there's no grinding and sanding to be done.
also I would just cap the skin fittings forward and fill with fixtech 15 rather than glassI got them in. Would be much cheaper and convenient. But that's just my thoughts. Regards
HG maybe consider yaringa instead of hastings , as the hard stand area is quite reasonable price wise . and you could even get a price from the riggers there for the mast and rigging work if needed . they are very good so i have heard .
