Master cylinder is not leaking so its not that. Oh well, talk with the WoF guy tomorrow.


the brakes are hard to get right man im still strugling with mine. i think pressure bleeding or vacume bleeding the crap out of them is the only way to get all the air out, also adjust the rears right up tight. good luck with the wof

As far as truck related ... arranged the sparky to come have a look at why she`s not firing/getting fuel finally... Wednesday she should be going.

And as for Saturday night, went to a party in Hamilton...

I heard somewhere that Nivas have a strange brake setup that allows the back brakes to work sooner something to do with snow driving and this has the effect of a soft pedal

Ha Ha.
I was working on almost the identical boat in the same place on Thursday.
Wellcraft 290 Coaster with twin 300hp Yamahas.
I have 4 of those motors still in crates waiting to go on a couple of 11m inflatables being built at the moment.
They run nice 8)
Awesome blasting down the harbour in these kind of machines :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Tell me about it......just fitted the tanks to the hull of the Assult 11m, just short of 500l all up. Glad I'm not paying to fill it up. Not a fan of those black ba$tards. Seen a few go bang!
One of my clubmates who is on here from time to time, drives the forklifts there. I spent 10 years working in the old dry stack. Nothing beats driving 70 different boats in one day :P
Nice place to hang out!
