Jim Posted May 29, 2009 Report Posted May 29, 2009 Well, I know you've been waiting. Here it is. Small Fry's new Rod Holder Bridge. Designed by Myself and another Club Member " Fat Chance " Quote
Jim Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Posted May 29, 2009 I'll never get under that bridge ! What Bridge ? Don't worry about it ! Quote
great white Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Looks good Jim It holds more rods than my new addition, and I am sure yours is easier to reach. We have found ours to be very useful already, I have mounted a bigger radar reflector on a pole and put it up using the tubes when offshore. An anchor ball can also be put up that way when the rods are in use, i intend to fit mine to an extending boat hook for ths purpose. Charlie Quote
Paul D Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 By the wau Charlie, I meant to mention that when Just Purfick was returning from Alderney and went past you drifting the wreck you stood out no problem in the radar. Clear as a bell. Quote
great white Posted May 30, 2009 Report Posted May 30, 2009 Thanks Paul Good to know that we did, especially just outside the shipping areas. I keep meaning to ask someone to have a look, then try again after I take the pole down, to see what diference it makes. Charlie Quote
Jim Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Posted May 31, 2009 Yes Charlie, They're just in the right place. Easy reachable and above the eyeline so don't obstruct the vision. Oh yes - and sexy as hell ! ! Jim Quote

Jim Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) As I Did the bulk of the computer design work, ( this is the umpteenth version ) and calling in a few favours. I got mine free. ( Just hours & hours on the computer ) Speak to Tony O'Callaghan at Robton Engineering, Balena Close. Creekmoor. 01202 697469. They're easy to fit and work really well. Jim PS you're welcome look at mine. Edited June 2, 2009 by Small Fry Quote
Rob Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 PS you're welcome look at mine. I'd heard that about you!!! No wonder you have problems getting crew sometimes Quote
Jim Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Posted June 2, 2009 I Knew you'd have something to say Rob. But at 6.00 am I couldn't think of a better way to word it. Also, Wrong phone number. should be : - 01202 695480 Tony is a Club Member. Club name: Culloden ? Boat name: Fat Chance. See ya Thursday. Jim Quote
Jim Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Posted June 2, 2009 Just found another photo on my USB stick. Are ya bored yet ? Jim Quote
Jim Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Posted June 17, 2009 After taking Small Fry out on Friday afternoon, and getting the massive interest that we did. Tony and myself are thinking of selling these on ebay. Warrior do not have CAD Drawings of the Bridges. I could use the help of any other Warrior owners. 150 - 165 mark 1 + 2 - 175 - Pro Angler and the new one, 170 + 170 leisure. If you own a warrior and don't live miles and miles from Poole, could I come and try my tubes on your bridge ? I will only need to sit them on top and will not cause any damage. Thanks in advance.

Jim Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Posted June 17, 2009 Well ! All those Warriors in the Club and No Offers of Help ! I'm TELLING MY Mum ! ! And I'm not SHARING my sweeties. Come on Gents, It won't hurt for me to check Bridge Sizes will It ? Jim Quote
Adam F Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Jim, As far as I know we have loads of 165's (which dont help you) but only 175 (Claret N Blue - drop him a PM, are grab him at a meeting?) I dont know of any 150's or the other boats. If it were me, I'd advertise for the 165's only to start with - that way you know the design and will capture 95% of the Warrior market. Adam Quote
Jim Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks Adam, Good thinking. I still need to know if all 165 Bridges are the same though. eg. Mk1 Mk2. So - any offers ? Quote
Gazza Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Jim, you are welcome to check mine . 2000 model , i think that's a mk11 give me a call Gary Quote
Jim Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Gary, I have the RNLI coming for my Sea Safety check on Saturday Morning. So if it's O.K. I'll bring it round Sat afternoon or Sunday. whichever suit you. I'll phone this evening. The problem I face is that as Warrior do not have Drawings, the size and spec of things like the bridge may have changed over the years and just because it fits perfectly on one, it may not fit another. I would just like to try a few to calm my fears. Thanks. Jim. Quote
Barney Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Jim Your welcome to test it on mine but im sure its the same as yours. Why not try to find out where warrior get them from. its probably the same on sea hogs and other boat types of a similar size. I did find them on a web site once or something very close to it but cant remember where. Mick Quote
Jim Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Mick, I'm hoping to try it on Gazza's 165 over the weekend. It would help me sleep a little easier if I could be sure that the accuracy of the build on the Warrior Bridges is consistent. Could I come and " plonk " it on the top of your bridge as well. Could you PM me your phone no. if it's convenient. Ta, Jim Quote
