Pigeonshooting dead at the moment, got up to date on landrover maintenance, so thought i would give the outboard a service as i use it for 4 months every year during the summer, the old girl is 47 years old (a young one compared to some seagulls in use) and is a "40 plus" model, i have it on a 15ft canoe and use it on the broads, it skimms along at 12 knots and is great for fishing and going down to the pub...not so easy getting back !!
