Allan Walters & I (well mainly Allan) got stuck into Mumbles Belle this morning. He anti fouled it, while I ponced about with the annodes & putting the ballast back in, beating lumps out of the winch idler roller to try to get that to work, filling the stern tube with grease, trying to identify why the engine won't lift, & generally wasting my time while Allan did the work! lol
I think we have identified what is holding the engine in, & tommorrow morning I will hopefully solve the problem.
I need to get it off the boat ready to take it to my son's unit to be fixed (somehow or another) either with silicone gasket paste or a new sump gasket from the Science Museum (he is not looking forward to this job) he has told me, but as long as I get the bilge oilproof, I dont care if he uses bath sealent! lol
