Leg Finally reunited with the boat - 14/15th February 2020

After many months of waiting for the insurance to pay out so we could repair the drive we bit the bullet and just got on with rebuilding the drive and shaft, we got Rowland Marine to replace the intermediate drive shaft and gimble bearing assembly/press the swivel tube into the new casting and change the UJ coupler whilst I rebuilt the whole drive with new seals and resprayed the leg and then spent a couple of days at the boat reassembling it and then putting the new transmission oil in.

Starboard Leg finally back on the boat
Really feels like were getting somewhere 

All working fine, what a relief

All adjusted - gear shift really smooth

What a beautiful sight at last looks like a proper boat
Decided to do a bit of gardening as fed up working in the mud of the yard
