What are you doing with the old one Graham ?

Sorry I missed it. Been in Whitby for a few days. Got home 7 pm tonight. Looks like a good day to be out. Well done all. Jim

Happy Birthday Gary. Hope all's well and you're getting out there. Jim

I'm confused with that one ? ? ? The oil is in a reservoir and a computer controls the amount that is added to the mixture for the engine.? They are ( were ) set for standard oil as default but could have a software upgrade to use " posh " oil. This costs more but uses much less. I have no idea why this would affect your engine but I suppose an E-Tec engineer could figure it out. Sam Cobb at Golden arrow in Poole near RNLI is a bit of an expert in these things and has all the latest software. They are not cheap though ! Jim

Happy Birthday Terry. Jim

Happy Birthday Duncan. Jim

Hi Ollie, Have a great Birthday. Hope you're not working today. It's lovely out there ! Jim

Happy Birthday Alfie. Not seen you for ages. Hope all's well. Jim

Nice one Steve. She IS a lovely boat. Jim

If you've worked on Titanium you'll know what to expect Steve. Good luck. Jim

I can only guess that you've never machined Stainless steel Steve ? You need to run very slowly, Plenty of coolant, Don't allow the tools to dwell as it work hardens the stainless. All not easy for a DIY er not prepared for it. Jim

Happy Birthday Pete. Jim

Happy Birthday Steve. Hope it's a " Good un " Jim

Happy Birthday to the 3 of you. What a cracking day for it ! Jim

I can't remember EVER being called diplomatic before ?

No point arguing with a woman ! You'll lose ! ! ! Jim

I have found Golden arrow to be good in the past. Although they did keep phoning me at one stage asking me to pay VAT which I already had done. I know they're not cheap but it sounds more like a typing error to me. Speak to them in person. Speak to the engineer who worked on it and check if the invoice relates to the time spent. If it does then you can argue the amount on the grounds of they should have communicated an expected cost to you. Jim

Happy Birthday Graham. Are you still boating ? Whatever you're up to I hope You're having a good one ! Jim.

Lovely looking reels !

Happy Birthday Stuie. Plenty of Red wine & cake. Jim

I can just imagine that on Kingfisher ! something like . . . . . . " Oh look the little devil's squirted him . . . . " " Oh dear! . . . Oh My! . . . . "

Brilliant !
