Couple of jobs 22/9/13
Morning visit to the boat to finish off the blacking - missed bits around the posts that stopped the boat falling over - starboard side. Also looked at the loose engine mount - front starboard. The mount is fully tightened, but the bracket onto the engine has one bolt loose and the other bolt missing. I tried in vain to replace the missing bold but couldn't get it to bite - perhaps the bracket is slightly out of line with the hole. For now all I could do was tighten the remaining bolt which was out by a quarter inch. The result is a mount which is a lot tighter as opposed to one which is not effective at all. A start of the engine proved that the mount is now doing its job and this should also reduce the vibration to the exhaust on the opposite side. The last day of summer today - so put the chimney back on ready for the cooler weather . Will winterised soon - not sure if we are having another trip out this year.
