ok stand by to laugh yourselfs silly ................. ive made a huge cock up but its worth posting as it might save others from doing the same ...............it relates to prop shaft instalion ond alinment ...... lol heheheheheh id just like to say that in my defence i am blind in my left eye and the trouble is with the left shaft as seen from the stern .............lol heheheheheh
A hour has past since last note , now ive ran around in curcles screamed shouted attcked said hull area and shaft with varous tools i belive i can fix the problem, ...when i was outside testing the motors and checking shafts turning in right direction i noticed that the port shaft was a whole quater inch lower than the starbord one as seen from the rear ......................it appears that it had raised or lowered depending which way you look at it whilst i was installing it and setting the milliput filler and epoxy resin , so now ive hacked all that out cut a deeper last recess etc i gota redo all the filler miliput etc , the shafts will then be level with the center prop and 33mm from it . stand by for pics when completed or maybe even another fowel up hehehheeh

Looking good Griffin. A bit worried about your place of work though, does that mean after you have washed up, done the washing and your other chores you can get on with your build? Suggests that you have been manacled to the sink!!!!!

You know, if that washing machine ghosts in to major spin cycle, well I'm not sure if thats covered by your new Avast Nautical Insurance policy. Technically, the policy takes effect whilst at sea, not awash. Mmmm...malt vinegar, sure do miss my fish and chips!
