Well, I've just gone out and done the video everybody's been asking for...
Have a look and let me know what you think. If necessary I'll re-do it...

I'll be redoing this one, with different lighting and see if I can make it a little clearer... I'll also do some cue cards so I get the commentary right.... :rolleyes: :facepalm:

Cheers all...

Excellent Chris, thanks a ton for putting this together!

Hey, I caught your other videos. It looks to me like there is a fella wrenching on your boat that has escaped from somewhere with high walls:eek: (Here in the US a guy wearing a full orange jumpsuit is an indicator that he belongs on the other side of razor wire)

Good news?

Man, that guy is smart and fast!! I believe I see drive off, alignment check, drive on in under 15 minutes!!

It takes me 15 minutes just to finish my first cup of coffee while eyeballing the challenge of the day:rolleyes:

Well done man:)

Thanks for the feedback Jas,

Yeah, the orange is 'eye-catching'.... But it's what we wear offshore, high visibility and all that crap (and I guess working offshore's a bit like being inside high fences and razor wire :D). So it's just as easy to pull the ovaries on here too...

Chris...

Re: Video, Shift cable adjustment

I've read the manual and adjusted my cable the best I could. Your video makes it much more clear. I am going to re adjust because I do think it is still a little off. Thanks a lot for taking time to do it for us.
