Hi,


The propeller shaft tube has been removed from the hull.  The rudder had a bent shaft so the blade was removed the shaft straightened and the blade soldered back in place. The remaining metal pieces were cleaned and the wooden cover of the propeller shaft was taken apart and put back together again.

Question time! Does anyone own a Stuart Turner Henley or have photographs of how the engine and boiler are attached to the hull? The last two photographs show the screw holes that did this on the hull I own.  For the engine it looks as if there was a bracket to hold the engine that rested on the two longitudinal battens that run the length of the hull, this bracket with engine being held in place with two screws in each batten.  To hold the boiler in place there seems just two screws in the battens and a pair of screws on the centre line on the bottom of the hull towards the bow.  Any suggestions?

Take care Tony.
