Dave has been down in the basement fiddling with the controls and buttons again - my saved link wouldn't work and I had to fiddle around to find the site and change the bookmark!
Can't one of you give him some bubble gum or a gob-stopper to keep him amused?
Finally living the dream!

I've dragged the forum into the main site Clive, it can still be found direct but you lose the header.
Also trying to work on a user picture gallery but can't get the script to work on this server yet, the demo seems workable but is just a temporary thing from someone elses server.
Gob stoppers aint gonna do it I'm afraid...... (beer might)

Lovely dog pictures but you can only get top half or bottom half. The old forum was full screen so pictures were viewed in their entirety.
Sorry Dave, got to say that the old format was probably like that for that reason - one could only read posts in part of the screen, the top and left/right forming a frame did leave the buttons exposed for other parts of the site but permanently obscured 75% of available screen.

If you right click the forum button and go for "open link in new tab" you get full page, you can always bookmark it from there and go straight to the full page version, just trying to get more folk to go to the main site bits.
You need a bigger monitor Clive....
The doggy gallery is just a temporary test, it's not staying there, it was just an easy place to paste the code for now.
Edit: What doggy bit? Who nicked my doggies? Oh yeah me.

Got it, thanks Dave.
Now need your input as you had an RLM with twin Enfields didn't you?
I had a Norman 20 with a single many years ago and I seem to remember you could wind the thing up sideways - rotate it to the vertical position to access the prop - I remember doing it when some idiot made me go hard astern and fouled my prop with my own gear mid Solent.
Was trying to help a lad on Facebook just bought a Seamaster 23 with exactly the same setup - Ford 1600 cross flow mated to a 130, suggested he might buy a spare prop, a plastic cone nut or two plus split pin and so on and make sure he had the starting handle type thing to crank up the leg.
He asked for a video or similar - nothing on You Tube and for the life of me cannot remember but recall a pin to lock it you released from the inside - I think. Can you describe the action to rotate up vertical so one could, like I did in the Solent, lean over the taffrail and take off the prop, (dropping the plastic cone in the water in the process as the boat was going up and down a bit violently)
It was so long ago and I've been running diesels on shafts for the last 40 odd years and cannot remember!

Now that is strange! Gone to reply and the whole lot has gone really wide, something else to sort....
Enfield has a pin in the sternplate that is accessed from inside and is port side above swivel hub, they are usually siezed if not used and greased, it needs pulling away from the stern to release then the winding handle can be used to swivel the whole leg.
The mechanism is likely to be solid if never used.
Or you can put your hand in the water and flick the reversing catch and lift the leg straight up but the prop still stays just below water line, that's how I used to deal with mine, good wellies and pull the stern in a slip for a prop swap.

Fiddling with the controls?
