    Upgrade the Shift interrupt switch

    Sorry for the delay, boat lovers After getting the boat to do as it was told I tried it on the water and it just needed a slight tweak. Then the Range Rover went into limp mode on the way home. It’s still waiting for a new part. Maybe I’ll get on the Caledonian canal next year Watch this space 😛

    Whooohooo it didn’t sink when I put it in and it set off normally in forward but cut out if slowly moved into reverse. Minor adjustment required me thinks. Scotland awaits 😜 Fisherprice

    Upgrade the Shift interrupt switch

    Morning Chris Thanks again for putting me right I have been thinking it was a Gen 1 but as you say it must be a Gen 2. I’ve just reassembled the gearbox and set the cables using Google with 6” measurements and the like and I’ve got to put boat on the water to check it’s all working properly. I...

    Upgrade the Shift interrupt switch

    Hi there boat lovers I’m getting the idea that my shift interrupt switch is causing my stiff gear change but my old interrupt switch has two switches and the new one only has the one. Will this work and what do I do with the spare wires from the unused switch? Cheers 🍻 Dave

    Exhaust bellows

    Thanks for that info Alldodge I’m going to persevere to stick the little rascal on again, but if it pops off again, I take it my boat isn’t going to sink? Best regards Fisherprice

    Exhaust bellows

    Hi there Boat lovers Is the exhaust bellow required. I’m having a nightmare trying to fit it. As I get the gimbal bellow on the exhaust bellow pops off and vice versa. I’m going to try glue tomorrow. See if that helps Regards Fisherprice

    Water in the drive shaft bellow

    Moving on with my repair I have split and drawn off the gearbox and slackened the bellows before removing the swivel from the gimbal the section of the large bellow shows it was badly fitted. This has left the universal joint rusty but as it uses sealed bearings I think it’s survived. Not like...

    Thanks for all your ideas to remove these two little rascals to liberate the gimbal. A halfway inch Allen key sounds just the job
