The gearbox is fitted in... now it has to come out again at Ely

Moored Ely, River Gt Ouse

Well they fitted the gearbox this afternoon.. here it is just before it went in..

But now it has to come out again as there is a problem with it. The lever has to travel an awful long way forward before it will turn the shaft if you see what I mean.. it's not the cable to the thottle lever, they tested that out by doing it manually on the side of the box. It is almost like it has no oil pressure.

It would be fine if we were prepared to go backwards for the rest of our life!

Still fighting with my blogger writing software Blogjet it is.. It won't connect and publish at the moment.. I had this problem once before, I think it might be to do with my t-mobile connection. It is actually very poor here in Ely connection wise.

More on the gearbox later..
