Most likely culprit is the leg bellows followed by raw water seacock and pipework. Is she taking water on at the moment? Not that i know of. There are three bilge pumps that he used to pump it out. Plan is when i get to a safe place place to pup itout i will do and see ifi can find wheer its coming in. I have found it wont get through the Ribble link now due to the draugth being 0.9m as its max 0.7m for the ink. So when i get to the Rufford branch i will get it craned out and dropped in at Preston then cruise to the mooring i have for it a few boats down from Khashoggi.

Draught 1' 10" - 0.56m Engine Recommendations The majority of these boats have inboard engines such as Mercedes or BMC linked to an outdrive such as Enfield or Transa. With no fit out it ought to float on a damp flannel. Dip a tape into the water and attach it on the skeg (pain in the arse but can be done) and measure it, I can't see it being anything like as deep as that

I suppose if its too shallow its a bit of a risk as the leg lifts up sideways so would not take kindly to bring grounded.
It seems improbable that it would draw much more than 2ft with leg down though.

There's a Weston 670 on the slip at the moment, that has a Transa on it, I'll get a measurement off that to give faffer some idea.

I agree with you guys, and got the info you have Gazza from the Norman web site, i have looked at pics etc of outdrives and cant see any being so low.
I am down this friday and will do my best to size it up.
Even the a Freeman 30 is near 3 foot. bigger boat and twin engines.
Ah yes Gazza, any idea where sells the carb kits for this Yammy 9.9 i need the top starter diaphram. It started to run shitty so i cleaned it out and noticed the ally ring around the diaphram is damaged. kinked.

The leg dimensions are as follows (all from the tip of the skeg beneath propeller) 36" to steering arm pivot near transom (basically completely submerged) 29 1/2" to the centerline of the driveshaft bellows 23" to gearshift pivot.

I have the ( one ) spares book you gave me. Unless you have another. Well.you gave the workshop manual with the engien So by them sizes the draft could well be .9 m draught then. Well 3 foot.

That looks massive. Is that the same as what on my Norman then, the top doesnt look the same to me.
That prop looks well to low to me, not that i am saying i am right just towards outboards etc.
I am thinking on maybe converting to prop, will this give better less draugth ? I am going to look into the cost and when i get the boat home se what room there is in the center cockpit for the engine..

An inboard shaft drive conversion would be nice but that merc is a large unit.
I wonder what's happened there. It seems a slightly improbable power unit to have been fitted to a narrow beam cruiser with a Z drive.

I was wondering if that's what that chain is for.
