Starboard side is a bit busy at the moment so may have to go port side of the wheel which isnt ideal, because she has non standard throttles the usual space is not there so looking to see if we can move the drive trim switches to port side so the joystick can stay starboard side...


This makes perfect sense. In my opinion and it's by no means right, you want the joystick to be in your peripheral vision within easy reach of the throttles, so that you have use of the steering with the other hand, moving the switches, I think you mean the ones below the gauges on the right, would be for me the best option. I have used a bowthruster which is not close to the throttles, which does work, you can bring her in on throttles and bowthruster alone for the very last bit, but I noticed with a tide running and with wind, it is fussier and not easily and professional and not as coool 8) :wink: as having them within easy reach.

Looks like a very professional job they are doing with the bowthruster.

Just to update this, they have now finished the install and boat will be re launched this week.

they have moved the trip tab switch from its previous location to above the bank of switches on the port side of the wheel and the joystick is where the trip tab switches were on the starboard side of the wheel.

will try and get some bette pictures this weekend as its dark by the time im home now! :roll:

Humm. Went to my usual shop to get a copy and they didn't have any in, nor did they know if they were getting any.

Will keep an eye out for a copy!

Im fed up with the weather in this country! Aviator is being lifted next week and kept ashore until Mid March when the wether hopefully improves.

Jobs for the winter,

Really good clean and polish (any offers?!)

New Trim sensor on the Starboard leg,

Sort out why the CD player has stopped again

New name graphics to be applied.

Maybe Sand and reseal the teak on the bathing platform.

Pray for some decent weather in the early season...

New name graphics. Are you going with the new Hunton Font?? will be moving the boat name from edge of bathing platform to higher up on stern and going with the new font.

Sand bathing platform and teak oil will look good. mine was worth the days work.

CD player on blink sounds like you should upgrade the system. But too be honest very rarely have mine on.
