New drive plate fitted, all back together, dropped back on Mounts' just need to remember where the plumbing and wiring goes, 🤣

Funny Man, 😂

Nice new shiny bit arrived, fit for purpose, with some flexibility, lol

They certainly have, several possible reasons, most probably cobbled it together, to make a drive plate, but not flexible, i have a bespoke flexible one being made by R&D Marine here next week.

Damm it, gearbox sounded like box of spanners, engine out split gearbox to find this, WTF, Who bolts a flexible drive shaft together, R&D Marine manufcturing bespoke to suit Renault flywheel.

Rewired and Tidied

New hinges and fixing blocks, and a couple of new Stays to boot.

Foredeck Hatch in need of repair.

Semi Displacement, and i think mine is what they call the mark 3 as it's a 1993, i got a vid of Seaworker at 20 knots

i've Never had it in water, it's about 100hp now but will remap to 130hp, hope to see 12-15 knots, but not looked at prop setting yet.

as you might see no throttle at end of vid but now sorted. previous YT link

Wiring nightmares, the flyby wire for throttle cut and stuffed in bilge, now sorted, no after pics. video of engine running.

Wheelhouse work ongoing

made a start at pointy end

Bought "BLADE" on going project, Sept 2020. previous owner had made progress but couldn't complete, and I knew what had to be done and to date no nasty surprises, as he was very honest. I know this might be long project given my age, and certain health restrictions, (aches and pains, LOL), and what with COVID, my Son's support (muscles) is difficult. Will try and show before and after pic's not necessarily chronological. Wiring has been fun, with wires going nowhere, some cut and not rejoined. The Engine is a Renault Trafic 1.9 Td, fully marinized, but still has ECU, and wiring loom. there are Pro's and Con's, at the Mo, Pro's winning, as per plan. Digital Dash on Helm. and full engine diagnostics availability. Feel free to comment, offer advice, I'm no expert.

Tnx, A long way's to go though, Re deck, Engine cover, Gunwales , Paint deck area, and tidy wiring, I'll get there, and enjoying project

Currently Ashore, work in progress, coming along nicely. Unusual engine, Marinized Renault 1.9 Td. Bowman Cooling, Hurth Transmission
