Ep 176 | Replacing the Seal in our Lofrans Tigres Windlass, Moreton Bay, Sailing Nutshell, Australia
Magnus spots oil trickling out of our Lofrans Tigres Windlass and after further investigation he finds out that we probably need a new seal and perhaps bearings too.
So, we head back into shore early after an unsuccessful fishing trip in the middle of Morton Bay. We take buses into town to get parts and Magnus makes a start on fixing the windlass. He hits a few hurdles along the way… As usual, little boat jobs turn into big boat jobs! That’s boating!
Oh, and Magnus does a slightly unusual beer review.
