    mrlwalmsley got a reaction from thejollysinker in A day to remember first outing   
    Well launched at Fairbourne 8.00am fairly straight forward all good went out about a mile set anchor to allow small drift fishing good Tope / Mackrel /Pollack and even a Bass moved about a bit came in to about 1/2 mile from shore big engine packed in (Evinrude 50Hp switched to back up run about on that for a bit then that packed in 5.00pm. Fortunately only about 250 yds from shore in 6ft of water. But 4 mile from slip got a tow to Barmouth entrance then walked it 2 mile through 3ft of water with tide slowly coming in back to slip Thanks to son and his mate. Trailered okay and got home safe. 50 Hp sounded like roller bearings gone so head removed and stripped only to find it was top shaft bearing on leg no waiting on parts the joys of boating.
