Boys need toys!

This is the Africa Mercy's workboat. Up until mid last year it wasn't used
let alone run. Now she is sea worthy and back in service.

It boasts a full set of gauges, navagation lights, running lights
search light, and backlit compass at the controls.

 Now powered by a 50HP Yamaha EFI outboard that will push the
boat along a speeds of 40kph and will carry five crew with ease.

 This boat has been a project of the Life Saving Apparatus Officer (Raul)
 and mine(Andrew)for more than six months now.
 It used to sit all alone on deck 8, the paint faded, electricals
totally shot, seats perished and a badly worn out two stroke outboard. Today
she sits in the rescue boat davit ready to be lowered from the ship for any
emergency day or night.

This boat repairs have been made possible by the donation of the AMAZING
Yamaha outboard. It has been a fun project - especially the sea trials!
I have been able to use my auto-electrical and mechanical skills in a totally
different way, not to mention getting some experience behind the wheel - helm.
I still have a couple of minor jobs to do on it before I am completely happy.
The boat still needs a marine VHF radio and a bilge pump fitting. Well that's another
excuse to take it for a run - purely for testing purposes of course :)
