We bought the Endeavour 32 ! Sailing on a budget #2 

That cable is still stiff. I think part of the problem is it's just too long. The way they ran it makes it longer and with more curves than it needs to be. I'll probably try to replace it before I go.

In my case the cable was about 7ft long and had only one 90 deg bend. if you search for motorcycle cable lube kit you can get one for about $12. good luck

Sorry for the late reply ! But yeah, if I had it to do over again I think I would pick another date. Hard to get reservations !!!

That's a good idea 💡 I am also thinking of installing a dripless shaft seal. Haulout won't be for at least a year so I'll have to see how the budget is doing 😅

Thanks Creel Man...we could never stay away from the beach !!

Hope you are watching my videos still and you can see what I'm up to.

It's a Yanmar 2QM20, 22 hp. It runs really good, I'm pretty happy with it.

@@sailingonabudget - Should be plenty and should be easy on fuel. There’s one for sale near me with the Yanmar, no model number but listed as 20hp. Owner is asking $14k he bought the old girl in 1977, original owner. Gonna have to go have a look at her.

@@sboy1955 Maintenance is everything when it comes to older boats. If he has taken care of it over the years it could be a real gem. Keep me posted !

She really seems like a great boat. We got her back home, I'm working on the video for that trip. It was a long motor, but fun !
