Looking very tidy. What sealant are you using under all your fittings?
I've yet to find anything better than sikaflex.
Odd looking nav' lights are they the ones with the internal battery? |

I've just looked at the frontal vew of your boat. I have some bad news.
Your port, starboard and anchor ights are mounted the wrong way up!
The lense of the light should face UP, the reflector angles the projected light at the angles required for marine navigation. The anchor light visible through 360 degrees.
Better to be told now than to face the ribbing at the slipway. |

The value has increased by an awful lot more than has been spent without a shadow of doubt.
Certainly the increase in value is in hundreds of pounds.
Hard graft and time well spent. |

Hi all and thanks for all the good coments
Just a quick question what do you mean when you say the lights are the wrong way? as i had them when i bought the boat.
Could someone do me a quick drawing showing me how there meant to go so i can change them.
Once again thanks all
Andrew |

Hi, Im no boat type person, but yours are facing forward and can only be seen from the front and a little to the side, if you point them skyward they would be seen from all angles including the rear. (or is it stern) lol, I think thats what he means. Cheers...Mick |
