I found the Tempo LPT 12 gallon tanks at captainsurplus on e-bay (Marine Surplus inc). They have 3 left @ $69-95.

Trouble is...the postage is almost as much as the price, when you live in the UK!

I made up one of these, but it only reduces the swing! I use a halyard, with one line to the foot of the mast, and two to the aft cleats. Currently making up a 'spreader' to open it out more.

I'm following your excellent 'instructions' and am nearly finished putting in a Simrad TP32. When I manually tested the set up, standing at the stern and pressing buttons, I managed to put the helm hard over to port and broke the piece of teak holding the pin! The handbook doesn't give a way of sett...

There is a post from one owner who filled his centrboard with lead. You could try that, but would have to alter the lifting arrangement like he did. I put about 10Kg in the bottom of mine, but unlike him, I used lead shot and resin. He poured melted lead in, a little at a time!
