You upgraded to something with a stick and flappy bits?

Helped out over the weekend taking a thing with flappy bits/cables/sticks from Faversham to River Stour by way of Brightlingsea as we weren’t making much headway motor sailing against the NE’s and oncoming tide!

To avoid that situation, if combo will be kept moored, simply raise motor fully up when out of use or after returning to Terra Firme.

Looks like an inboard on a sailing boat bit hard if it is

No I think it’s more like a drascombe with an outboard well. You still can’t tilt the engine. In either case I’m sure since it’s not the OPs boat the preventative step would require time travel!

Correct it is a sailing boat, a Fantasie 19.

Inboard well with no option to tilt, or would’ve been tilted.. the OB is a teeny 6hp fs that can lift out quite easily. Owner (in his 73rd year) has had a bout of ill health so gave up on the boat for a while, gave new home to our crusty friends. Also slowed the boat somewhat!

Left that image here as I’d not seen the like before.

Boat is now on new mooring with OB lifted out/away.

This low hours use Yam 15 aux was never raised after salt water use, the prop, zinc anodes are beginning to fall in small pieces...

You can tell I'm not a canvas man
