prop noise fixed and new teak cleat in place


Sorted 'prop noise' two weeks ago. Got really bad when out sailing and stopped on a mooring buoy. Turned out to be the blackjack stern gland - I obviously hadn't let enough water leak into it when boat put in water. Had the boat in the water last weekend and no noise at all!

Teak cleat now in place and looking good.

Also put new bracket on pushpit for outboard as the old bracket was too narrow for my outboard.

Next job I want to do is properly secure electrical panel under companionway as it tends to fall off in rough conditions.
