54" long Cervia tug. by tysonyoung Petty Officer Posted: 5 months ago

My Cervia was ready built. I have replaced the Electric motor with a large servo motor (Brushed) .Direct drive and being heavy helps with ballasting. lead acid gel cells are power source. Motor rated voltage24 v but run it on 12v . low rev high torque no load current 1 amp. Shaft diameter 0.5 in. Gives some idea of power out. Being servo motor (ex computer drive 30 years old) well balanced no vibration. Photo near shore shows power of motor.

Sea Rover planking by tysonyoung Petty Officer Posted: 2 years ago

Toe rail is the deck edging . It is designed to stop a sailors foot slipping over the edge of a deck , hence the name "toe rail". Cheers John

Sea Rover planking by tysonyoung Petty Officer Posted: 2 years ago

Long planks best . Put a king plank down on fore deck first . This helps to keep things the same on both sides. You can start from the toe rail (on both sides) inwards with long planks cutting an angle when it meets the king plank. You will end up with few odd gaps .Planks used on the edge and sand down level is a useful tip. Glue used medium thickness superglue. Have just planked a 5 foot yacht - learnt a lot! -John
