Project Notbad update nine,

OK so its approaching a year since she was bought, stripped, re-built with Bass in mind, she's still to get wet, but I'm pretty well there now.

The outboard wasn't the easiest to pull start, wouldn't hold a low tickover and stopped after a little while. I sourced the correct plugs, changed the fuel connection ( perished O-ring ) and generally fiddled about but came to the conclusion that it was one for the experts and dropped it in at M.E.S Marine for a proper service.

What I took to be the carburettor needing re-setting turned out to be a failing fuel pump and with this replaced and a couple of other bits fettled by M.E.S. the engine is starting easily, humming sweetly, holds a low speed idle and now pumps water very well.
Just in case....I've stowed a couple of lightweight oars and moved the rowlocks to the correct position for where the seats are now.

Checking the electrics over I was relieved to find they've come through the winter unscathed.

I've a couple more rod holders to fit but there's no much holding me back from sea trials now!

I've never towed anything in my life so that could be a trial in itself
- one slight problem -no towbar, however my new car has just arrived -complete with a hidden viagra powered towbar which deploys at the touch of a button

to misquote the old advert, "vorsprung dork technik" you might say!
not sure what's rudest, the way it erects or the way it tucks itself up and under!

Ingenius towbar, never seen one like that before or am i behind the times? Seems you're ready to go so the best of luck.
Steve.

I have been looking forward to an update on your boat Notbad and am pleased that everything is ship shape and ready to go. Good Luck and I hope you don't need the oars.
I like that Tow Bar have not seen one of those before I bet that will get the ladies all excited, they will be playing with your button all the time give half a chance. Embarassed bounce Very Happy
Look forward to hearing how the first trip goes.
