Hi and welcome to the forum. We are currently at the coast and yep the last few days have been pretty gusty many places. Great fun. Is that a modern efi Suzuki or the 2-stroke?

Bad luck re the transom wheel, did it drop off unseen out at sea?

Always good to see folk’s outfits if you have pictures to upload.

Hi and welcome, shame about your transom wheel, I assume you mean the leg and wheel? It's a long shot that someone may have the odd transom wheel, but which one - left or right?
If you don't manage to get one, I wouldn't get another set of the Excel style wheels, they are not the best. I'd advise you to research transom wheels thoroughly (loads of threads on here) they where the bain of my life!

Hello and welcome

We use Bideford, rather the Appledore during the summer, so much easier to park as its a bigger car park and cheaper be worth a look next time you come over.

Hi Fenlander. It’s an EFI 15 hp. Wheel bounced off in transit (schoolboy error leaving it on). I’d just fitted to transom, so (looking at Steve509926), I have existing mounts, or would need to plug (how best) and mount new wheels. Good advice treerat.
