    Yes I indeed used Flickr but any web based file host will do. Since it now says "you can use basic HTML tags" I assumed that this option had now been turned on and hey presto!

    Flickr makes things very easy by letting you grab the necessary html code from the "share" box. Just copy paste it. :)

    David, what is that box on deck behind the main? Is it a new fancy style of dorade vent?

    Thanks for the pics Patric (and the revelation that we can post pics 
    here too). Mine has a plug and space above the well (but still 
    below the deck) to store an outboard when not in use.

    re: exhaust fumes
    I'm hoping, though not too sure, that a near new 4 stroke outboard 
    wouldnt put fumes into the well, since the exhaust outlet is below 
    the waterline. (My old 2 stroke has exhaust below the WL, but still 
    started in a cloud of blue smoke..)

    Yes, how indeed? I wondered too , and just tried paste (ctrl-V on my Mac) on an image from Iphoto - and it worked!!!

    You just opened up a whole new world, Patric!

    (edit) no it didn't work. It was in the box until I pressed "post", and now it's not.
    Let us in on your secret, Patric?

    Basically, you need a web-based photo album such as Flickr, Picasa or similar. In Picasa, there is, to one side: "Link to this photo", "Embed image" and "select size". If you select 400px, then copy the long string of characters that you find in this box, and use the link button in the toolbar to paste this string of characters, adding a link to the photo in Picasa, the image should appear:

    There must be something similar in Flickr, that Patric used, and in other web photo albums.

    main problems I see:

    - controls are very difficult to get at and the o/b position right underneath doesn't really lend itself to using a traditional remote either

    - the exhaust fumes have nowhere to go from under the boat than back into the well itself. Being heavier than air they'll build up and choke the engine.

    - the above could theoretically be solved by either plugging the well or by building a dedicated fresh air intake for the engine. Both solutions have their problems though.

    - added drag

    A rather unspectacular look from the cockpit: IMAGE_043 the well itself, outboard removed (obviously) IMAGE_041 it's located just aft of the companionway: IMAGE_038

    Patric,
    You have an outboard well? I have just finished mine, and now working on the outboard locker above it. You should upload some pics of yours to your profile.
    I am building one of those 'leak proof' hatches - though I know they arent 'leak proof' with a foot of green water over them..
