Re: Outboard Motor Steering Lock

Won’t that become a problem when you tilt the motor?

Re: New Mooring

This article is turning technical.

I don’t have drain holes at all.

The hatch is fully fibreglass? No wood?

Windrush 14

So I got myself a little beach cat for pocket change.

Went to take it out on Sunday but the wind had picked up to 20+knots so we decided it was best to not take it out the first time in these conditions.

Keen to get some time out there at pace.
