Rob we have very expensive locks on but that wont stop anyone if they really want them. It was my first thought that someone might be after the motor when I saw it down. Will be looking again tomorrow. Colin

I did think that too Alun but the batteries were isolated and the rocker switch doesn't work when they are switched off. I tried it just to be sure though. Colin

Thanks all I got down today and the motor is still fully up. I have more time tomorrow so if the wind is not too bad I will check out the manual relief screw(go on Jim) and check for any visible leaks. Colin

Rob It lifted back up on the button no prob. I lowered and raised it a couple of times . I will be able to get down tomorrow lunch time and check if it stays up tonight. I will have to have a look and see if there is a big screw anywhere( go on Jim you know you want to) Colin

We went to check on Boblin this evening after the blow we have been having. We rowed out to her and one of the motors was down. It was up on Sunday when we last saw her. Am I right in thinking this will be an Hydraulic leak or could anything else cause this to happen. The batteries were isolated. Any ideas where I should start looking? Cheers Colin

I hope you don't mind but I have put it right, and by the way I guessed you are fishing too so have added your name !!!! Colin

Our Cheetah loves the water!! We return nearly all fish only keeping a couple for the table and macs for bait. We don't catch fish for other people if friends request fish they are politely told NO but they are invited to come out and catch some for themselves. Too many fish are kept and passed on to mates or put in the freezer only to be chucked out next season. Well done Pete for getting this debate going even if one person reads this thread and thinks that could be me and next time returns a few more fish than they normally would it has done some good. I must say in defence of the bigger Cheetah moored at the quay we had a visit from her whilst fishing the swash for Plaice and all boats were approached and asked that they were aware of the size limits. Colin

Hi Nige Back from Spain now and just caught up with the thread. Contact Quicksilver and mention "FIT FOR PURPOSE". There have been other cases that they have sorted and they are now fitting different pistons. Don't take NO for an answer the engine and it's fitting is not fit for purpose it dosn't matter that it is out of gaurantee. From what I have been told they have made repairs at their cost. It's got to be worth a couple of phone calls mate. Colin

What's wrong with tomorrow Stuie Colin

Thanks Neal but Pete Snr has beaten you to it. Thanks again for the offer. Colin

Mike we had the same Mantis Shrimps in our Pout on Sunday. We were over 10 miles out. Bobi put three back on her hook and had a bite as soon as it hit the bottom. Colin

I was lucky enough to have a dinghy given to me (with hole in) and i have nearly finished the work on it. I was wondering if anyone had a part tin of anti foul they wanted to get rid of I only need enough for a 9' 6'' dinghy. Cheers Colin

I have just been browsing the records list and see that Bobi's Topknot has not been added to the newly updated list yet. She is saying it's sexism !!!! and I say it's an oversight ???? Colin This is the very Topknot
