Glad you added the "chucking " Martin

Peter, I fitted 12mm octoplait on my boat................ and the windlass would not retrieve it, stick to 14mm minimum. Mick

Another one !!!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday to you both.................plenty of sozzle tonight Mick

I'll second that , they spliced my new anchor rope to chain.................pity it won't work as the gypsy will not grip it !!!!! Other chandler told me it could not be done, but they did it.......and at exceptional value.

Hi all, would anyone have an Abu Suveran in 12 /20lb class that they want to sell, and if so how much ?. Thanks, Mick

Nice One Dave, good luck with the new boat.......what is she called ? Now , about that wrecking trip I asked about !!!!!

Happy Birthday Jacob, Mick

Lucky buggers !!!!!!

Captain Cod is back in the running !!!!! Good luck Nige .

I will be coming to see you very soon Ben, been exceptionally busy and boat is out of water . I can give you a number of a very good roofer if you want ? Mick

P.S. Thanks for checking up on me Jacob

You lucky lot.......I,m stuck next to a BLACK STEEL yacht ( I call it the BLACK PEARL.... among other things !!!!!! ) They have been sanding the wood and everything is getting covered in black sh!t . Last week he decided to take an ANGLE GRINDER to the hull ?????????? What a clever man !!!!! Told today that I am being moved.........but to where ???? It's full up !!!!!!!!!! NOT HAPPY !

Sounds good Pete !Thanks for that, sounds like the " beast of the bay" was under your boat Mick

Just seen your reply Pete, Thanks for your reply, what was the HDI picture like on your unit, what do you reckon on the fishfinder ? I am gonna fit the transom mount and see what happens then, if no good I will just reconnect my thru hull transducer. Thanks, Mick

It is a transom mount transducer with HDI ( giving a picture of the seabed............hopefully !! ) I have spoken to Lowrance since I posted here, have been told that the HDI will not " SHOOT THRU HULL ". So all I can do is fit it to the transom while boat is out..... and hope it works !!! Looked at thru hull HDI hybrid transducer, but at £ 400 I think I'll give that a miss, thanks for the advice everyone, watch this space ???????? Mick

Like to Rob, but she's out for 6 weeks !! Look at that weather

Any more replies on the last post I made guys, all greatly appreciated Thanks, Mick

Thanks for the replies gents, my concern is that the downscan imaging will not shoot thru hull, maybe I am wrong ? Do any of your transducers which are inside the hull have the HDI imaging on them ? Cheers, Mick

Hello guys, just purchased a Lowrance Elite 5x HDI fishfinder with a transom mount transducer. Have heard that the transducer is not suitable for use on a shaft drive boat, can any body please advice me if it will work on my boat (MF 695 ) and where is best place to site it. ? Many thanks, Mick
