Engine problem has been fixed. Acutually she runs better than ever before. Whoever did the timing of the motor, had set it off by 180 degrees. Tomorrow the mast goes up, with new wiring, led lights, Raymaine wind, vhf, etc. We are trying a new Diy SSB arial made from rope that has the core removed (except first & last 2 feet , & then inserted a 12g wire, stole the idea from the web. Apparently it worked very well, so we will see.

The new wiring is installed in the mast, will attach the lights etc on the morning the mast goes up, so nothing gets broken in the yard. The engine refuses to start! put it down to dumb things we do sometimes. After cleaning the tank, replacing the fuel filter, taking off the carb & cleaning it, changing the points, condenser, & rotor, new plugs & gapping everything, the engine would not start. On checking the Moyer Atomic site a few minutes ago, I discovered that I may have (probably)screwed up the plug leads. Will check at lunch time.. At least I now have a clean fuel system & a new electical system.

Splash day has finally arrived. All thru hulls made it. This weekend we will work on replacing all the wiring for the mast. Installing new VHF, mast head led tri light, Raymarine wind speed transducer, windex wind direction, led steaming/deck light & spreader lights.
