Sorry James, did you sort this?
I can contact Matt for you if not.
Kind Regards -
Hi James, sorry I missed your message.
I haven’t moved the boat since I bought it – still working on it in the boatyard. I have some original technical drawings from the Snapdragon Association that might help you.
I can’t attach them here but you can email me at [email protected]

Marc started the topic 3D Printed Brush Cover – 7 March 2019 in the forum Restoring Merganser 4 years, 3 months ago
Happy March Folks! I do apologise for the lack of updates, you haven’t missed much. I’ve been job hunting and interviewing and such like things and I’ve gone and got myself an employment upgrade, it’ll be a few more boat tokens a month and more civilized hours, hurray! So back to Merganser, the 3D printed brush cover for the motor came out…[Read more]

Marc started the topic Removing Bulkheads – 26 January 2019 in the forum Restoring Merganser 4 years, 3 months ago
Bit of progress today, we’ve removed the last of the structural bulkheads, huzzah! Thanks to Christopher for bringing his oscillating multi weasel, having 2 certainly sped things up. We also measured up for the new bulkhead, bed, chain locker and a couple of the load bearing storage boxes and laminated beam that will take the place of the old…[Read more]

Marc started the topic Choosing A Copper Coat – 16 January 2019 in the forum Restoring Merganser 4 years, 3 months ago

Happy new year folks! I’ve put a few photos together to show how far we’ve come since buying Merganser in November 2017. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s come down to get dusty, offered advice, had a chat, brought a cuppa over and generally been involved in the project so far. I knew it’d be hard physical work but I had no…[Read more]

Marc started the topic Epoxy And Reducing The Viscosity- 29th December 2018 in the forum Restoring Merganser 4 years, 3 months ago
Found one! A little surprised the conditions today were acceptable for epoxy, I warmed the resin a small amount just to reduce the viscosity a bit and it layed up like a charm with a nice 15min pot life, in other news the first of the primary winches has been removed and was a clear entry point for water so I’m assuming the 2nd one will be the…[Read more]

Marc replied to the topic Genset For Engine Bay – 30 November 2018 in the forum Restoring Merganser 4 years, 3 months ago
Exciting news! I’ve picked up a 5kva electric start generator that will form the fueled side of my hybrid drive system, it’ll be taken off its frame and put on a bespoke mount with the panel extended out with the rest of the controls, other modifications will be made such as an external fuel tank for safety, carbon monoxide detector rigged into…[Read more]
