    Thanks haugy, but you reply too quick I'm limited to 4 pics per post, so I post it piece by piece.
    The new steering wheel is very nice, giving this old boat a new look. It's same diameter, and with my riser, is at the perfect position to cruise like an american car, giving more space for legs etc.

    Looks great

    I guess we take for granted that here we could just order a polished aluminium spacer from one of ten different places and have it in a day or two.

    If you do make the trip across the pond. You will haft to make a stop up north as well.
    Georgia is god awful hot in the summer you would need to go to Atlanta atleast one to see just how bad American traffic can be.

    That's look very nice man, great result.


    Soooooooooooooooooooo what are you going to do with the old one? I'd be glad to take it off your hands, and would even pay for the shipping, if I can figure out how.

    @ ngavdba
    I extended the wheel, because the distance between the captain seat full at rear position and the top of the wheel is too far from our arms. The factory direction has an angle of almost 35 - 40°. Means when I give distance the the dash, I also give distance from the floor, and so, place for legs.
    Glad to read I'm welcome in your house

    @ century
    I would love to travel the US from side to side. I don't know from where to start. You have so many different paysages and interresting destination. It's a brainstorm.

    @ haugy
    I will take a photo of the factory wheel. It's almost completly destroyed as I wright before. I broke the hub in few places, drill it up of the keyway, the cap holder (round plastic sheet) is broken in 2 pieces. Wait for the photos and let me know ...

    One more time, thank you guys for congrats and interrest

    The last run of the year. I ran it yesterday to get the engine at working temperature, then I disconnect home water and fill the engine with 22L of -20°C car antifreeze (it's already a mixture of water, alcool etc.). I don't know if it's the best way to winterize the engine and if 22 liters is enough, too much, or not. Maybe you have a tips ?



    What I observed, is that running on pressurised home water, there is just water at exhaust, but with antifreeze, there is white smoke. I first thaught about a cylinder head gasket, but, as it smoked from both exhausts, I thaught about it : no pressure (I simply pour antifreez in the trans heat exchanger), so a little amount of antifreeze in hot exhaust, maybe it gets very hot and vaporize ? What do you think about it ?
