That depends. If the motor has cable steering which you can rig up to the steering wheel, on the back beneath the luggage rack would be the correct installation. If it is to be tiller steered, it would be better on the side where you can reach the tiller.

Looking outside I think tiller steering would be quicker as I have no neoprene to protect cable steering. Thank you wine wine wine wine

The rule of thumb is; 4hp for a 4/4, 8hp for a roadster.

Trust me. I studied Ship Science at Uni.


Using a M3W as an anchor? smile

Trust me. I studied naval architecture at Uni.

For some unknown reason, last night I had a sudden question - in a few months will the price of used small boat dive in Somerset, a bit like those of caravans around the Tewkesbury area in late 2007/08??
My pal rebuilding his cottage did quite well out of the slump in caravan prices...
Meanwhile, like the residents up here 6-1/2 years ago, I really feel for those affected. Perhaps we should encourage a return to using the rivers and inland waterways for commercial (goods) traffic - a good way to ensure passages remain deeper even with reduced dredging...

Short run out this morning before the high tides/gales and rain return this afternoon. Forecast is 9's this evening again am I glad we live 500' above sea level. Your heart just goes out to the people in the levels, one farmer had to take 550 cattle to market and sell at not good prices.

It's one of the better things about partial retirement it gives you more Morgan time. With hindsight I should have worked a 3 day week for the last 10years woohoo smile

Tried to go for a drive last Sunday, got to the end of the street and gave up. Shoulder is still to painful to come back down the gears and what fun is there driving everywhere in 3rd. I mean between me and the end of the street requires at least 17 changes innocent

Will try again this weekend drive
