Some people will go to extraordinary measures to do a job badly!
This collection of parts was an engine speed control fitted by a professional boat fitter on a Lister JP3. And believe it or not the socket set formed part of the system 🙄
All replaced with our ever popular engine throttle leverbox. Owners now has full control of the engine and given them confidence in handling the boat
