The rebirth and conversion of a New Zealand fishing boat-and maybe her further adventures. Other boats and observations will happen from time to time.....

PROP SHAFT

Got the shaft back from the metal sprayers today. Looking good all trued up. Installed -goes in from inside to out.New gland packing on inside-cutlass bearing outside not too bad and reinstalled the outer bearing with 3 new bronze lag bolts. Must check tomorrow on prop which is getting trued up and ballanced.
Went to Auckland today to pick up the EMCO-STAR  more about that later!
Also picked up the 2 burner gas cooktop and 12v water pump to pump up to the 60l header tank.
Auckland is 2hours south of here fyi.
