Wife washes her hair in the bathroom sink not in the shower. She just said the drain was running slow. Pulled the trap off and found what looked like a baby raccoon pelt stuck in there. Water flying down the drain now.

Thanks Tim, yep I spent a whole day cleaning and oranising parts yesterday. Every thread is being chased and and every bolt thread cleaned too. Here's a video of the startup procedure. 600cc twin cylinder horizontally opposed 10hp 'pony' engine to start the diesel. Shares the cooling system and the exhaust is jacketed through the intake of the diesel to pre heat the intake air.

Branch supervisor rang me yesterday arvo to see if I could go help sort some fulla out who was "having trailer issues".

Oh joy.....

First issue was he was towing a 1650kg/3300lbs boat with a 1500/3000 at best Holden Captiva. You might get them as a GM something. GM Lemon be best moniker...we call them Craptiva.

Major drama was the bow vee block or snubber was mounted on paper thin steel that had already been weld repaired once. It simply folded out of the way, all the way. No Bueno. Not a part anyone local carried.

Made what I could out of a scrounge around. Chained the boat to the trailer via the bow roller using a 4x4 tyre as a softish stop, then pulled it forward with a load binder at the rear. Then bolted the vee block to the wrong side of the wrong mount wing to provide another layer of protection for the hull from the winch body. I wasn't happy about it, but the dude was 3 hours from his family and destination and took full responsibility. He was in way over his head if you ask me.
Pics don't do the amount of effing around any justice.
