I could do with a couple of cables for my brakes. Unfortunately, I don't have a part number and now that Indespension have gone, I can't just walk in with my old ones. Jim

I remember Mustard from when I was a lad. My Dad had a 27 foot yacht at Redcliffe. Is it still around then ? We used to come down for holidays and weekends. I suppose that makes me part of the Coventry Navy. Been in Poole since 94 so I'm a trainee local now ! Jim

Too busy to get out again. But I did get a stroll along the beach at Hamworthy Pier. The water was crystal clear and smooth as glass. I saw Lots of Bass at Just under the legal limit and thought of you who got out today. What a glorious day to go and dangle your bait. Well done to all who did get out

Was I dreaming when Tony Blair and Gordon Brown Fixed the Interest Low, Ran our country on the back of people believing that they could not lose by buying property, And Boom & Bust just could not happen. Oh here we are again ! ! ! Jim

Just got back from Cornwall. Adam, Have a word with the Bass for me, I have'nt had ONE this year yet - - - - ask them to wait a couple of weeks until I can get out again - - - Pleaeaeaeaese ! Jim

Excuse the spelling etc. I have no specs with me. Is'nt LPG heavier than air, and sits in the bottom of the boat. You would need to make sure there was plenty of ventilation and no leaks. See ya, Jim

You should have asked for my assistance at the toss Adam, I've been told I'm a first class Tosser ! Well Done Lads. Jim

No time to go and rummage about. See ya later Paul. Jim

We saw a flying Do - Nut the other week. My brother, aged 51 ( mental age 7 ) says I need one !

Buying a Do - Nut and a Big Yellow Banana then ?

Line or Rope ?

Wot we got planned for fursday then ? Is young Dan going to dazzle us with Knots ? Or is something else in the offing ? I did'nt think I could make this one, but it turns out that I can. Yipppeeeee ! ! ! Jim

Bit of a change from the Quicksilver Graham. One step nearer to the land of Gin Palaces. Jim

I gave up Coarse fishing to " Take to the Seas " I was crap at that too ! But I still enjoy Me self. Well done Dan. Jim

Happy Birthday Paul.

Is it true that Poole Harbour speed restrictions are lifted during the winter months? If so, from when to when. I've heard stories but nothing certain. Jim

Fully booked at home. Could have brought Small Fry round. AAAhhhhhh - - - - Two E-Tecs. See ya next time Gordon. Jim

Thanks Steve, You just saved me a load of Lager Tokens. Small Fry ain't broke, so I ain't gonna fix it ! Jim

MMMMMMM _ _ _ _ Seaside Based - - - - Only used in Fresh Water ? Is that Poetic License, Like " One little old lady owner "? When you get to my age, you tend to carry a pinch of salt with you for just such occasions. It'll be Fine ! See you out there. Jim

The new 170 is just " Nicer " than the 165. When the wives are helping to choose, this should help to sway them. Well done Warrior !

A friend of mine thinks it's a Large fold of Money ! The chap at the boat show says it's an insert on the engine mounting to alter the angle. Adam will explain in more detail I suppose. Adam, in your view do we need wedge and Trim Tabs, or just choose from one of the two ? Jim

Were you happy with the Service etc.? I assume you were, as you did not say otherwise. Jim

The man on the stand said that the hull had been altered slightly too. My 165 tends to " Porpoise " on flat water and he claims they have designed that out of it. He also said I could use some Trim Tabs and a Wedge. I thought the wedge was to pay for them but he explained that it is used to alter the angle of the engine.

I have an etec 75. It came with my Warrior 165 last November. I don't think it's noisy, or smelly. Diesels are noisey and smelly ! So far I have been pleased but always follow these little " E-Tec Baiting " sessions to see if there are any problems with them. I spoke to a local dealer at the show, ( hang on - I'll find his card ) Got it ! - - - Mike Vincent, South Coast Marine, Bridge Street, Christchurch. Dorset BH23 1EB 01202 482695 He says to take the prop off at least 3 times per year ( with all outboards ) and check the gearbox seals for damage. Fishing line wrapped around there will destroy the seal and the salt water will destroy the gearbox. Also, the 3 year service interval leads us to think that other parts are O.K. too. The Impellor etc. should be inspected / replaced yearly. Mine is nearly due for it's service, so we'll see what happens. He reckons about

Yes! On the Honda Stand they had a new design Warrior on display. I can't remember the model name but it's got much smoother lines and more cubby holes etc. It's aimed more towards the wives than the 165. It is very nice and worth a look. Jim
