Engine problems

I finally got the engine running yesterday, after Matt Hollis had re-fitted the high pressure fuel pump. Took a lot of time to bleed the system through, but it was good to hear the mighty roar of my 2 cylinder, 15hp Yanmar.

Only problem now is the seized shaft and Paragon has to be lipped to get it fixed. At present there is another boat on the slip; it was supposed to be off late last week, then early this week, now late this week. I can't see me getting up on to the lip before Monday and down on Tuesday, then depart Wednesday, 4 days behind schedule. This should still give me time to get up to Mackay by 19th August to meet Chez.
