Not even storm Gareth could stop Ross fixing this Yamaha 60hp four stroke Outboard.
Our intrepid engineer discovered that the fuel had become contaminated with copious amounts of sea water.
It was pretty obvious that a full fuel system strip down, clean and service was in order.
The spark plugs were damaged and subsequently replaced as was the HT lead.
We had to weigh Ross down with pebbles in his pockets, a couple of random gearboxes and a Bakewell tart so he didn’t blow away in the wind. Ross is actually lighter than a slice of crisp bread that’s been attacked with a hole punch, so extreme measures were required.
All he then had to do was click his ruby red, steel toe-capped boots together three times and whisper gratefully to his pockets, there’s no weight like stones.
