I am not sure of the best way to contact you.<br /><br />Re reversing, where is your engine in relation to the rudder ?<br /><br />Julian ( Billy )Ghoulie69https://www.blogger.com/profile/16242459467953430693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520947795617471707.post-37424798252955821222013-04-15T17:01:34.722+01:002013-04-15T17:01:34.722+01:00Steve, If you'd ever seen me trying to maneuve...Steve, If you'd ever seen me trying to maneuver you'd know that I am not the person to ask. :~) I am hopeless on the motor.
