Repairs & Upgrades Underway: 2012
Porto Gelves, Seville

Outboard Repairs. Outboard worked fine initially in the
season but then started to overheat when I really powered it up (no water
coming out at the back) and of course I didn’t find this out until we left
Gibraltar. We spent most of the season
powering along very slowly which outboard seemed not to mind and water duly
pumped out the back. To cut a long story
short, when an opportunity finally presented itself I had a professional check
it out and he simply replaced the water impeller and spark plugs. My spare impellers and plugs, purchased some
time before and where I can’t remember, were the wrong types apparently. Anyway, outboard has performed superbly since
this act of TLC by a Spanish mechanic near Seville.

We did have to wait so put the time to good use at the marina bar
(BCK is our first, brave visitor) |
