The lorry in the picture next to the Dutton is flying the wrong flag

Once it enters the water it should display the red ensign as part of the United Kingdom Merchant fleet.

Hi all! Sorry about the delay in replying! Life has been very busy for both myself and Dutton! The build of the hull has been running late but the good news is, I'm collecting the hull this Friday!

I have read the full page from dutton and whilst it makes mention of axle suck and suitable ventilation of the case it doesn't make any mention of the front swivels being made water tight, which is likely to be an issue with the existing seals only being for dust? Are they just increasing the service intervals to say every full 20 hours under water or have they come up with a modification to preserve the cv and kingpin assembly, beyond over packing with waterproof grease?

Basically it’s just more maintenance, but i do have a few idea around slightly pressuring the axles etc. Also the CV joint is filled with marine grade grease.
