I fitted the recommended 13x9 prop.

I also have the same tiller wandering when motoring above 2k rpm but it’s not strong unless it’s hard over.
Tp10 holds a course for hours without issue.

I had to drill mine out as they were toast. If I recall the beta 20 needs 50x80mm angle steel around 2.5m in total. Easy to buy. Use the old angle as a template for the holes. I got away with a very cheap vetus 0.9m prop shaft as I wanted the engine as far back as possible to minimise trim adjustmen...

Hi Will, Yes, I forgot that price also included a new cutless bearing. Working on the engine is very easy although I have only done the service stuff. The good thing about it though is at only 100kg if anything major went I could slide it forward into the salon and work on it there. I went for the T...

Hi, I dropped a beta 20 in my centaur last winter. The beta fits well and wasn't too difficult. The hours you spend reading the forums will be hours saved upside down in the back of the engine bay balancing on your head and a shoulder. In all I did: Engine - high rise exhaust-calorifier take off bea...

Hi All, I would like to make a hatch garage for my mk1 centaur.I'm pretty good with glass but not in the same league as Roger Ball. I'm aiming for strong and functional. As many of us know, at some point the mk1 hatch leaks. I am of the opinion that this is least prone to the mk3 as the fore edge of...

Hi,

I have a similar issue which I am resolving this month.

I have some spare 'thick' stainless plate that is around the same size, just pondering on how to shape it.

If I remember to take some picks I will forward them on.\

Hi,

Just a suggestion, if you get really stuck you could try a universal car filler cap?

If a boat show is too far away or you just can't make it I got a 25% discount over email on a beta 20.

Hey folks and thanks for the replies. I was thinking hanging locker on the basis that hopefully a fan can circulate the hot air into the main cabin and the radiant heat would take care of the forcabin. I was thinking of a tiled surround with maybe a heat resistant mat behind, but no air gap. Tiled s...

Hi all, As the temp is starting to drop I am beginning to consider the long cold nights. I am contemplating putting the below stove in my centaur. As it's small I was thinking in the hanging locker. does anyone have any experience or knowledge in this or something similar? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/B...

Hello and welcome. I have a 73/74 centaur B layout. I'm 6'1" and can fit in the front cabin but its tight. I have made an extension for the saloon bunk that folds and has a self contained leg. This makes a very roomy bed for one but cosy for two. The boss and son sleep in the fore cabin for eas...

i used this though

Hi Hillary,

if you've already completed this then ignore the rest.
I took my tank out, cut a hatch at the rear and did what you described but from the inside and with good access.

Thank you for your response.
I've bottled it in the end and just fit in the same tube.
Properly won't last as long but not too expensive.
Thanks again.
