does anyone know if the 4hp 4 stroke mercury ive bought will push my 165 back to safety if needed even against a tide/current thanks mark

yes he said he will try and clear them with an airline and chemical spray,if that dont work its carbs off strip and in the ulrasonic bath,im a car mechanic myself but id rather let the marine techs do what they do all the time,im not too hot with marine engines,i just want it reliable,i have got a 4hp 4 stroke aux.do you know if it will push my 165 ok even against a tide/current?

thanks for your responce guys, just itching to get out on the water now,once gareth at cobbs quay, marinautique, has sorted the carbs on my mercury,after being laid up for 18 months by the previous owner he said the carbs had varnished?,ive only had one go on it since i bought it,and it ran badly,so i hope gareth can sort it. maybe for next weekend fingers crossed,was hoping for this weekend but it wasnt to be.

just in the harbour, thanks wedger

im after a small fishing/rowing boat around 10ft ish grp or aluminium,with oars and rowlocks to take my 4hp outboard,just for pottering around the bay,to fit 2 men and a dog,maybe a bit of fishing tackle. let me know if you have anything mark

hi gary,the launch will be ok,im gona need practice with the retrieve, esp if its a bit windy or choppy,ive got the parking/slipway permit already,i dont yet have the harbour dues permit,speaking to poeple on the slip some pay the dues others dont bother? i havnt yet seen any small fishing boats on the slip to get a few tips on the retrieve. mark

when or how often do the council clear the sand from baiters slip?i was just walking the dog this morning and saw one boat and a jetski realy struggling on launch and retrieve through the deep sand near the top of the slip.

Hi Nige, yes it was me today,im down for the easter break looking around i have a holiday place here in creekmoor been coming down afew years now .Looking to move down for good. save on my trailer bearings lol . So if you hear of anything that will be much appreciated ,though blowing my own trumpet im a good reliable worker .

i have just joined your club how long does it take to activate,still havnt recieved my welcome pack?

hi gaz i launch from baiters,complete novice wont be going too far yet till i get a bit confident with boat and tackle/bait.i used to be into carp fishing night after night but now fancy something differant.so its all new to me

by 11miles i meant that was the distance im guessing to the needles?,or whats the fishing like by old harry rock?

do any of you guys drift or anchor up in the harbour fishing or is there not much to catch,or how far out from the chain ferry do you go,i wonder if 11 or so miles is too far for a warrior 165.mark

ok maybe see you out there im only learning at the moment,ive bought a warrior 165 with a 50hp mercury,so if its quite calm i might venture past the chain ferry and follow what the other fishers do.Mark

Hi does anyone see a change in the weather to possibly get out on the waves this weekend ? are the bream in yet? eggie
