Looking for someone local to Stafford for advice/help with above model.
 
Was a wild purchase of a very complex beast    unfortunately additionally complicated last week by an underwater entanglement with strands of very tough nylon disguised with weed 


I will willingly pay for this help otherwise it will take me forever/if ever?


The scenario.
Complex electronics far beyond my understanding that maybe need simplifying. Concerns lighting/horn and twin motor/rudder control. Not sure Tx fit for purpose? This set up has never worked consistently.
Advice on ballasting, this loose and missing?
All compounded with an unseen entanglement that caused a breakage of one of the rudder pivot connections to a fixed kort and a loosened drive shaft shroud as I lifted it from the water not knowing of the nylon strands connected to bank reinforcement. Oops!


Apart from this it's perfect. 


Sadly the eyesight and dexterity has diminished as well.


Anyone localish please?


Thanks for reading.

All fine now thanks, luckily a new club member hot on electronics.

Just a quick update, received the tug back following complete renovation, replacement, repair and repaint. Thanks Dave!
A fantastic job including re-bushing and securing prop shafts, re-securing the korts, simplification of the control systems and a total rewire and all problems encountered.
Looks and works like new. 


The morals, buyer beware and avoid underwater hazards.

Glad she is back ready for sea.
