As we’re setting off for Brinklow soon ( the long way round) I really do need to attend to CYPRUS’s gearbox as it doesn’t seem to hold back with any efficiency
now I do know that David put a really good crowther prop on so I presume it’s down to gearbox adjustment
I have been told by a couple of reliable sources it’s just a matter of taking the control rod off the box and adjusting it forwards or backwards a quarter of a turn to see how it is
has anyone actually done this or am I walking into a minefield
Happy to get hands dirty BUT have never touched one of these boxes……all advice/ info gratefully appreciated

Yeah, I went to see it and got talked out of buying it! It's come down in price by £8k. Still overpriced from what I was told.
We looked at it as well before getting CYPRUS

Looks like we might need to use the bowthrusters. Hopefully nobody will hear over the screaming wind and crashing waves.
I am actually wondering if we will leave port at all tomorrow, but we are setting off from Southampton, evening, so by the time we hit the Forties (which looks like something out of The Perfect Storm) it will be Sunday, and maybe it will have calmed down. But if this thing from Portugal comes up the Channel I can see us stuck in Southampton for the weekend.
Memories of an awful family holiday force 6 overnight crossing to Le Havre in the 1960's - the ferry was literally awash with puke...much of it mine.
I used to love the cross channel runs when it was as rough as hell ..9/10 eat and drink as much as you liked for free as everyone else was as sick as a dog
me and my mate mike just laughed it all off and had another brekkie with a chaser

Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a narrowboat and have up to a £130k budget. Should I look at brokers or look to buy privately. For brokers, is Rugby Boats a good broker?
Late to the party hence the edit lol

Late to the party but …when we got our J2 , Dick said to start on Aspen fuels as it doesn’t clog up

As a broker I can assure you that none of the above was me .. I certainly do not not treat any Possible client like that
sti I have standards . Treat everyone as I would like to be treated
we don’t always get it 100% right but a I do try

”As a broker” .... you do realise that despite you have spent £xx k on it in the last three years it’s only worth £5000,00 to A blind man with no sense of smell and no mates to advise them

Actually said to a chap who said it was worth 45k .. 1970/ 1980’s Harborough cruiser stern Fiberglass top .. last year
