Re: Waterline or No waterline

Two quick Photoshop edits done? I personally like the simple white and green and I will go for something similar.

Thanks to CrusierPete, as I stole hi photo of his old boat for the template :twisted:

Re: Waterline or No waterline

BRG is, IMHO, not a colour for a boat. Good for racing cars, preferably vintage ones. My user name probably gives it away, but I like green and do not like the traditional blue. I have considered other colours, but in the end I have plumped for BRG. Anyway, to me, my investigator is a little vintag...

Re: Fuel line through Hull

Thanks Ozzie,

Mine has clips both ends too, I want it in the starboard locker, just to counter balance the weight of the motor.

Fuel line through Hull

Guy's

Want to take my fuel line through hull and feed it around to the starboard locker. Any tips on the best way this can be done? Photos would be great if any of you have already done it.

Thanks

Thought should also be given to where you are sailing, for example one of the inlets here in WA that we negotiate can having a strong tidal push, sometimes reaching 5 - 6 knots, so you need to be able to power through this. I have a 8hp Mercury long shaft, which gives just a bit more than the standa...

I have just installed a hinged rectangular access hatch on mine to replace an old wooden hatch the previous owner had intsalled. Will post a picture when I can. It does look great and gives great access.
