F-Ribs And Sibs - Inflatable Boat Community

I did exactly that on an over powered Dory i once had.
My problem was that it would sit in a big hole at slow speeds and heel over slightly at full throttle.
Not as good as smart tabs, but with a bit of fiddling i got them to work....
Unfortunately i don't have and good pictures of them just this!

First thing when I got home was to start it. It ran for about 30 seconds before dying. After that it would start and die immediately

I'm going to say it just to tick it off the list, but did you open the vent on the tank?

once you started getting a “little” experience under your belt:rofl

Yeah, i'm starting to get the hang of it now....

Are you sad to see it go? I'm not a sentimental soul.... I'd had my fun with it, now it's someone else's turn. There's always the next thing.

Said good by to the big green mean machine today!

I must admit I've never torqued a prop on in my life. I guess when you've been turning spanners as long as I have you kinda get a feel for what's right.
But I'm with the froglet on this one.
I wouldn't back off to fit the split pin, not at 12nm.....
