Saturday - overcoming the odds

[duncan]

well a late arrival on Friday to fit the new oil cooler resulted in

 

- a second hand unit that just couldn't be made to fit (Holes Bay were brilliant but it just couldn't be)

- a missing 2nd 2nd hand unit (still missing)

- a brilliant forecast

 

so

 

back on with the old unit

supply of atf

and then the throttle/gearshift came off in my hand!...........stupid little retaining nut had sheared right across the middle

 

call off or go ahead? who needs a throttle? went fishing

 

no cod

no conger

no rays

just whiting - right up to 4lb 2oz! (not mine unfortunately - I could only manage 3 1/2 )

great day - lovely weather

 

repair bill grows - anyone got a stupid specialist nut for a Quicksilver 3000? How the hell do you fit it without cutting off the throttle push button thing for throttle without gear?

I am going off boats................

Wish I had the answers, Duncan.

 

But think on the bright side. At least you're making the rest of us feel a bit happier about our woes.

 

Stick with it matey!

Hi Duncan

 

If I can help with some contacts give me a call /PM

 

Nice whiting

Can I ask how far you went for them

have the bigger one now arrived at the Poole end?

 

Sam is now starting to get worried, and his mate wants a trip at Christmas but I do not want to go to far .
