water cooled engines, winter

Do i need to do anything to my DF20A before it gets sub-zero? Does all the water drain out or do you flush with anti-freeze or something?

Re: Seat clip thingies...

Anyone know if Waveline seats have the same method of attachment? ive seen those online for 5 quid each but theres no photo of them. There's some that do look the same on ebay, but they are 30 quid each!

Re: F-RIB 360 for sale - NOW SOLD

yeah i followed the book - 15 minutes at idle, 1h45m in gear under 3000 rpm. Got a bit wet doing the in gear bit.

I think its another hour under 4krpm and then 7 hours of full range, but not wide open for more than 5 minutes at a time, so i can do the rest on the water

Yes everything except the trailer. Did the first 2 hours of running in the engine (wheelie bin full of water method), so i might take it for a spin at Grendon before they shut at the end of Oct to get a feel for it before hitting the sea

Seat clip thingies...

Thinking of adding some rod holders and fish finder bits, I'd like to make a sort of utility shelf that fits into the rails the seats go on (basically a narrower seat that has stuff screwed to it) Really struggling to find something like the plastic c slider clips that are screwed to the seats. Look...

Re: FRIB 360 outboards

Re: FRIB 360 outboards

For the 4 stroke I would probably buy new, so EFI and warranty I guess I would have to take it in for service (?)

Does anyone run a 10hp with the 360?
