The Suzuki needs to go back again to Bembridge

Postby ChrisR » July 9th, 2019, 10:45 am

The Engine needs to go back to Bembridge Marine Services.
Still not running properly.
Help needed to get it off the boat into a vehicular and to BMS.

Many thanks to Heather it is in the back of her Van and going back to BMS Thursday.
Thanks to Ian and Alan for helping.
Let's hope we see it again soon.

My neighbour has a 5 metre RHIB with a brand new Evinrude 90 on the back. Ten grands worth in total. He will be piloting it to a coastal dealership on the mainland with regard to it's future servicing requirements in order to maintain the warrantee. I'll leave you to read between the lines.
Four strokes REALLY don't like being inverted. Two strokes are still available to buy brand new to commercial users such as rescue organisations, yacht clubs, fishermen, and even scaffolders that work on waterfront properties. They're 20%...ish lighter than a four stroke, and a lot easier to 'pull over'.

Ahoy, I find that our 1 and a half year old 4 stroke is easier to start, less noisy when on the water and when trying to listen to the VHF, less expensive to service, easier to maintain throughout the year than the 2 stroke.

PLUS who is going to buy the Club a new one?

I think Heather is picking up the Outboard today.
Help needed to get it out of her van and back on to the boat before racing tomorrow.

The Suzuki seems to be going OK but I think it needs to be used. Please use it Tuesday and Thursday.
