Bit like having an MOT....you don't know what's going on underneath !

I would Nige .....I only had 2 to worry about !!!

Hi Greg, glad you found out before any damage done.......gotta say though that I have never had this problem before in the time I have been there ! Thanks anyway, wonder who else maybe in for a shock if they don't check ?? Mick

A bit further Dave...............but not as far as Allan's !!

I would advise you to check your anodes ( if you can see them ) !!!! Moved Marichelle to another berth on F pontoon Sunday as it is getting too shallow where she was, as there are no plans to dredge that part of "F Pontoon" in the near future. Replaced anodes in April of this year, noticed in August that prop anode nearly gone when I was scrubbing her bum in shallow water, rechecked sunday only to find the 1kg disc anode was 90% eroded away !! This has never happened in the 10 years I have been on that berth, I have heard through the grapevine that there have been quite a few occasions of this occuring in the marina this year, and an expert has been called in but nothing conclusive has been found..........but there is obviously a problem somewhere ?? Just a bit of advice really, hope it helps .

He certainly came up Trumps !!!!

Happy Birtyday Pete, have a goodun. Mick

Must of been your wash that made it lumpy today !!!!

Cheeky Bugger !!!!!!! Glad you got it sorted Nige, amazing how a bit of fluff can slow you down !! Watch out Allan.................he's back !

That would look great on Wishin 2 Nige..............more rod holders !!

A bit like by the chain ferry when going for the 4.30 bridge at Poole on a sunny bank holiday weekend!!

Thanks for the birthday wishes all, Nige , had to work !!!!

Yeah, they played for the pride of their country..........today they are only interested in the money !!

Cheers Rob

Rob, spoke to Lowrance couple months ago and they told me the LGC 4000 was no longer available...........would rather have that one as it is a direct fit to the plotter. Where did you see them for sale in the UK ? Mick

Sorry for wrong info............it must be minimum of 6 FEET from VHF aerial .

Those drones come in handy then Jim, you just need to get Tiddler out more to make use of them !!!!

Looked at those Dave as I have that problem with the internal aerial on the Lowrance. They have to be at least 1 METRE away from any vhf aerial, they also have to connect to a nmea system, and not directly to the plotter like the older style aerials. Not enough room on my roof for one . Cheaper than the LGC 4000 they used to make, that was £400 !! The internal aerial is fine once moving, but is a bit slow updating at slow speeds, apparently because mine is fitted flush in the dash according to Lowrance !

Happy Birthday Charlie

Well done Nige, that,s gonna take some beating!!
