I'm pretty sure a rib is Rigid inflatable boat and the sib is a small inflatable boat (without rigid hull)

This seems to be a decent little setup for the car boot

I have seen a few brackets for an outboard to go on the inflatable kayaks, we had a couple last summer and it was bloody hard work 💪

Will do

Ah yeah this is what I was reading, having said that the engine is 1970's so god knows how old the steering system is. From what I see you should just grease the remote module first and see what a difference it makes

Great thank you, I will follow that advice and let you know the results, thanks again and to everyone for being so helpful 👍

Sounds like a good idea, there's loads of YouTube stuff so will have a crack and report back, Thanks again

Thanks mate, any advice or knowledge would be great, I am a tinkerer so will have a look Wednesday and see if I can spot anything

It was used right up till the day I picked it up but as it was so cheap I was keen to view it running and then just take it away before he realised it was a steal lol. My gut instinct is that it's gunked up so may just spray away and see what happens. The throttle while in neutral is free and smooth as is reverse, its literally just when you accelerate forward so I'm wondering if it could be the linkage. I just dont want to start taking things apart and making it worse

Yeah my first thought was something similar, I usually use a silicone spray grease. After a search today online most people do say not to lube the wrong parts as this can cause more issues so I'm going to have to watch a tutorial I think

One thing I

Haha you know me too well , we went down to Netley Abbey, chucked the anchor over and had some lunch, didn't have that long but just wanted to get out. Handled ok, bit rocky when the ferry's went past but got up to about 15 knots, moves pretty well actually and seems easy to handle

Finally got out, only had the boat 3 months 🤣🤣, no fishing yet though as it was a last minute decision

Mate I eat anything anyway, it's all fish to me haha, now if you know where there's some decent lobster you'll really get my attention

Sorry, didn't realise there was one, I was joking but on closer inspection it looks quite tasty 😋
