Tarlach. Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 Can anybody recommend a decent long measuring stick to attach to the boat ? Preferably one that won't rust !! Neil Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Mal Thomas Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 Some are marked out on the top of igloo fish boxes or similar. Quote
2006holmwood Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Ian Golds do a plastic one that you can fix to boat. I have fixed mine along the transom. Quote
2006holmwood Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 Thats the one, just took red stop off and screwed to transom. Quote

Coddy Posted July 19, 2017 Report Posted July 19, 2017 If you buy a plastic ready made measure, make sure it has all the up to date minimum sizes on it as I hate to see someone waste money on old stock! You could always make one out of wood and put your own markings on it, it would float as well if it fell overboard Dave Quote

Give me a gas boiler or a bathroom refit no problem but, wood work... nah ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
