Hungerford -> Newbury -> Aldermaston

An outing with the new waterpump.

Works fine.

The problem now appears to be fuel leaking from the bottom of the fuel governor, a mechanism that acts similarly to the carburetor on a petrol car.

Anyhow, that’s not fixable by me at present, and I have to make the boat down to Aldermaston marina for an annual service.

So that’s what I did.

Here’s some photo’s from along the way.
