Thanks Jaysen, Eric, topwater, Richard and Fuzz.

I spent more time today organising and cleaning the shed, and doing a dump run, than on boat building.

However on the run back from the dump I picked up the 316 stainless steel coach screws to fasten the engine mounts for the e-motor, and the rubber stops for the tiller arm.

Good to get the e-motor fixed in place. :D

I think you're going to really see the long term benefits to all the planning and thinking.

Well the shed reorganisation and clean up has morphed into a light cull of 50 years of accumulated files and stuff.

So no boat building today.

But I did find a raw seawater water filter that I had forgotten I had, and will now use between Skinnydip’s raw water seacock and diesel engine heat exchanger. :D
