Swift 18 Owners

Thanks for suggestions, but sorry, should have been clerarer! The drip appears to be from aroung the screw holding the perspex in place at bottom starboard rather than from seat/base of hatch. Seems tight enough.

I have a small drip from around the hatch somewhere. I have removed and resealed it and replaced the rubber. The perspex looks crazed on the outside but OK on inside. Has anybody replaced it and how easy? Any other reasons for a leak? Have searched forum and apologise if this has been done before ...

Great, my mooring is very shallow so will try on Saturday.
Thanks
Kevin

Half way through last season keel lift attachment collapsed and had to be rebuilt. Everything appeared to be regreased and before launch this year repacked grease however the bearings at top are squeaking somewhat. I have to raise keel for my mooring so a weekly exercise (Yes her indoors insists I ...

Thanks, will take your advice and go cutting, snows gone and can see boat again on local farm!

Oops, it isn't a new gadget, it is a SPEED log!

Isn't Santa a clever girl?! Got a NASA Duet for Christmas. Present boat has depth so easy to swap but any suggestions as to where best to place speed / distance bit, bottom of outboard well?

All the best for New Year everybody ... when it thaws!!!!!

For those who want to dream cheaply or look at lots of boat bits I've accidently found using Tesco clubcard vouchers you can get into boat show for £4.50! See you there!!!!

Oh why didn't I think of that ... well that's why we have a forum .. combined brain power!!!!!! >:D<

Sincere thanks, must write down the list of jobs to do this winter and get signed permission to play out!!

Great, just the job and I think I have all those pulleys and cleats on the boom going spare! Noticed you have an aerial / windex type thing on top of mast. Is it just bent along the shaft to get vertical?

Boat now in front garden after first year afloat Boo Hoo :(( (Thats being off the water NOT first year afloat, have had great fun!) My son bought me a Windex but there is a steep slope on top of mast, any suggestions? Also I want to put a topping lift on as this year I have used the spinnaker pole ...

Thanks for replies. Think I will wait until the boat comes home for winter and then I will have an excuse to go out any play on here for yet another little project!!!!

I need an engine to negotiate moorings and to a very shallow jetty mooring and do not have / use a tender so do rely on engine. ANYWAY ... in the bottom of the engine well appears to be two hinges and something like a fastener. Should there be a hatch type cover or what? Is it important? Can anybody ...

Have now found out what the 'bang' is ... now 'was'!! The gearbox was jumping under load and as the engine looks like an original at 35 plus years old it's not worth spending on it. Just bought a Parson 4 stroke 4HP as my wife gave me permission as I promised it would be quieter and not as smelly so ...

Hi, after spending ages looking at prices I decided to buy a single burner gas cylinder cooker for under £20 with 8 cannisters. All sorts of offers on ebay! Some people have said about dangers etc. I keep gas cylinder in gas bottle holder in rear locker until needed.
