Let us know if/how you get them both running, I'm sure you'll crack it. Both mine were identical and bought new at the same time (I wanted new for the mask). They're stashed in a shed. I ran them both on a partially wound out extension cable just the once. The extension cable caught fire of course.

and then trying to line it up so that the wheel's king spoke is at t.d.c. when amidships ? (great fun!!!) Isn't it just! We ran out of time to get it cock on, not helped by discovering the hard way that the water pump and feed from the humongous water tank had parted company. The compartmentalised keel is a balls ache to bail out down to the section where the bilge pump is.... I don't understand the philosophy of that keel, I know it makes it incredibly tough but you would have thought a few limber holes would not make much difference !!! My little job with the hydraulics took me nearly all day but at least it is now done and modified to make it easier to take apart next time !!! SAM_0659 by mudlarker2, on Flickr the steering head SAM_0660 by mudlarker2, on Flickr The impossible to see level window SAM_0661 by mudlarker2, on Flickr panels re-fitted SAM_0662 by mudlarker2, on Flickr wheel back on SAM_0663 by mudlarker2, on Flickr Gratings re fitted over the below floor radiators

It was a way to get round the problem of the lack of wall area for fitting radiators and it isn't terribly efficient ........ although it is nice to stand at the helm on a cold day and have the warm air wafting up your trouser legs. The heating in the wheelhouse is not quite as good as I would like, as it has a huge area of single glazing, plus two sliding doors that do allow a few draughts. It keeps the chill off but at some point I would like to work out a way of improving it, to make it a more comfortable sitting area in the winter. (You can warm it up a bit more if you use the tumble dryer, which is built in to one of the cupboards)

(You can warm it up a bit more if you use the tumble dryer, which is built in to one of the cupboards) I guess you would of thought of a stove. Would be perfect if you have spot for it. I just love stoves. The one i fitted in the Con`y that is 6.5KW and the workshop being 15`x10` is rusted badlyand no usable so when i get the blaster sorted i will be getting it going again for either the house or workshop. Think T has claimed it for the front room though. And that wheel house is cracking, looks a good big size too.
