R O Y A L   S E A L  - VOYAGES AND REPAIRS
 

By the way, you can click HERE to see if there are any repairs underway right now!

In our latest adventures.....

The large, 1/2" diameter hydraulic shaft that pushes/pulls the engine left / right....BROKE!!

EZ enough to fix, buy a new one...Of course you can't find anything like the original, so it's similar. & requires removing the engine from the boat!!

Also in the course of today's project, a second bilge pump was installed, but someone did not take a picture of me drilling holes in the boat!!

  See these large piece of stainless steel??

The parts have arrived & are already installed! The Seal is now capable of turning! Today's repairs took less than 2 hours!
