So just a case of waiting for the paint to harden and then fit the new fendering and also all of the new stainless steel 'deck hardware'.

Hi Dan,
She looks stunning mate - bloody well done. I hope I can get mine to look as good.
My colour scheme will be red anti foul, black hull sides with a yellow band at gunnel height, and light buff topsides. |

The colour scheme I am putting her into is the old white Star Line colours (Titanic's owners). She will be used to help advertise the Titanic in Lancashire Museum up here in Colne, of which im Curator. As Normans dont have 4 75ft high funnels, thats why the topsides get the colour buff Lol |

When you do go sailing, just keep a good eye out ..........

She does indeed look stunning - what a transformation!
As a matter of interest, what fender do you intend to fit around the gunwales? |

Hi Stan,
Thanks for your comments, the fendering I am going to use which was delivered last week is product PVC 370/15 from this website ;
http://www.littleportboathaven.co.uk/FENDER%20RUBBERS.htm
I had a 15mtr coil delivered and both the body and insert are black, also I got 2 of the PVC 370/AC which are Cast aluminium end caps to finish it off. I must say that the quality of the fendering is really good so hopedfully tomorrow I will get it all fitted.
Cheers,
Dan.

Clean an inch of antfoul from around that outdrive, it will encourage galvanic corrosion if in contact, don't leave any on the aluminium.

Hi df,
I have the whole part of the Z-Drive mount painted in an aluminium primer and will cut it in with a specified paint from International, also new anodes have been ordered.
Thanks for the advice.
Cheers,
Dan.
