  • boat help

    i recently bought a boat that has a maranised 4.5ltr v8 petrol engine with a hamilton jet drive

    what i am trying to find out is a few things, what model of boat is it i know its a shat harding ex offshore rescue boat.

    but some one might recognise the model and point me in the right direction , also there is a few things on the boat that i am not so sure on .

    it has 2 caps on the deck the say water on them i dont know if these are for balast use . do i fill them or do they automaticaly fill themselfs









    on 1st picture under one of the compartments there seems to be a bottle of some sort with a tab on it i dont know what it is or what it is used for any ideas

      It may be off the mark mate but with it being an ex rescue boat the water tanks may be for fresh drinking water? I know all ships lifeboats have drinking water tanks as they are a requirement.

        It's an unusual but nice looking boat.

          The deck caps or "Futtle Screws" are fully automatic on that brand - don't worry about them, try to get one off with yer hand, mince around the deck going -Aya and let your wife / girlfriend spin it off after you've loosened it.

          As for bottles and tabs on boats - no place for them

          Hope this helps.
