Lift Out & Broken Drive - 11th November 2019

Despite the wind at F5/6 the lift was finally on at the ECA, we struggled to get the boat of the dock on one engine with the wing blowing us on and only the starboard drive working. All a bit interesting getting into the Wise lift. Finally out and on shore too see the starboard drive had collapsed as the 'hook up' casting had fractured due to age.

At last a shore and out of the wind

Finally on our way down the yard

Finally choked off

Winter layup complete

This why we could engage the drive

Cleaned up reveals the damage

Wow all looks a bit messy

Port Casting has obviously been replaced
