Hi all,

Have recently purchased trapper TS 240 'Nautibitz' No. 19
(not sure if I will keep the name!!) and launched her yesterday onto a drying mooring at Dell Quay in Chichester Harbour.

She has had a replacement 'keelbox' in stainless and is complete with hydraulic actuation (appears in good nick.)
Keel housing has Grp moulding finish rather than the dark wood I observed on others.

The keel roller is stuck as usual but has been rotated to place wear groove on opposite side.

However looking at this while on trailer, I believe that the roller could be replaced with a more modern engineering plastic suitable for the conditions by having a split roller secured with recessed stainless set screws ( poss additional adhesive bonding).

A batch production would keep costs low and I would be happy to contribute to any sydicate getting a batch made up.

Paul
