Australia & Props...






Well, I finally got the timing and got through to ARCO in Australia on a non holiday. The very helpful gentleman I talked to on the phone sounded like he might have had some nice libations yesterday to celebrate :-) The bearing for the winch will be here next week. In typical "no longer in business or production" style, the shipping will cost more than the part.




I also got a call from Martec Engineering who I sent our Martec folding prop in to be refurbed. Turns out it's probably the original prop from 1988 and has had electrolosys issues and needs to be replaced, not refurbed. So that budget item tripled- yikes! But at least it will be nice and new.
