First job today – finish fitting the reversing sensors. The outer pair had previosly been fitted to the galvanised corner protectors after Alun machined the hole for them. He since made up a pair of box tube mounts with closed ends and mounting flanges for the inner pair to fit to the rear twin-step. These […]

I […]

I went to the chandlers at the local marina, but being […]
