Tonight I went to the docks to install some clamps to fix the horizontal poles in the A-frame. To my horror the aft "A" had moved forward about 30 cm, making the whole frame lean forward, and also twisting one of the metal clamps at the other end of the frame.
After quite a lot of swearing alone in the cold night, I managed to rectify the situation. Still to be done: buy a 4m ladder and fix the twisted clamp.
Continuing the sad saga, the aft board keeping the tarp off the sides had made a hole in it. Added more "softening" to all boards.
On a more positive note, the engine looked clean and well taken care of, for a 45 year old engine anyway. And I found the serial number for the registration and insurance!
