  1. @ wedger where would i look to find this? Novice... The temp is in range if thts what u mean?? @charlie even with a 3 knot current with, it wont go over 4300.. Against its the same 4300 :-/ Checked the main filter today, didnt look to bad, only 4 months old tbh.. Drained and topped up. But still 4300.. One thing i have found is coolent is disapeering.. BUT would topping it up with the wrong coulor do this? Im going to be servicing it all next week.. And drain/flush the coolant... Hopefully not a head gasket or summit :-/
  2. Will try that rob also. Although apart from 4 rods, toolbox, and a toolbox with fishing gear in, thts about it :-/ Would that stop it hitting max revs? Or just slow it down? Cheers ;-)
  3. Thanks for the replies lads.. @brian I shall be in touch, although the roadworks makes you a plane ride away now lol... @mal will pop in ;-) @charlie.. Can you see that part in the pics? I will hunt for it ;-) .. The prop came married to the boat, is in as new condition from what I saw.. Boat did used to get there, and all specs point to 22knots @ 4500.. Well 20 is my max :-( Is the fuel lift pump the little button I pressed to prime/bleed air out of the engine? @mike that's what I was thinking.. Gna filter the diesel more now.. I have got some additive ready to treat the engine with.. And I'm gonna change filters etc.plus do it regularly (hence seeing if I can source cheaper) P.s. shall I add the treatment before I change the fuel filter or after? Wasn't cheap stuff lol.. Also any idea how I service this gland? Sorry for all the questions :-(
  4. Hi everyone.. Im after some advice on this engine.. Altough its got a very clean hull, And has been serviced recently. Im only achieving 4300rpm at WOT.. Should be 4500rpm.. Is this anything to worry about? It starts and runs fine, never skips a beat.. BUT, i checked the pre-filter (The service engineer didn't)and that had sand and sludge, also some black looking red diesel at the bottom.. So this could of caused issues in the injectors?? Im going to Re-service it myself, Also i dont think the stern gland has had anything done for ages,so hopefully no horrors under there.. I've heard its the same as a perkins / montego 2.0 TD.. also any ideas where i could locally (If poss) source cheaper parts then volvo.. All filters, New oil, And new gearbox oil,coolant.. And if i could use this oil.. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...tegoryId_165581 And this for gear oil http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...tegoryId_165581 Also is halfords coolant ok? Or anyone recommending better parts,id be great-full

  11. Cheers lads, feel more confident so far after reading this. Im going to strap it to a pole today, and practice locations.
  12. Hi everyone.. Boat comes out this week for a service etc.. Bought a side imaging ff to fit, with a transom mount transducer.. I've read that this may course a problem due to prop wash/keel/rudder getting in the way. Any ideas.??? Was going to mount it next to the tab..... Some pics of other boats same as mine. Bottom one is mine. And shows the tabs.. P.s. I know about the twin thru-hull option.. But wouldn't be worth the extra cost to me :-(
  13. Doesnt sound good,no survivors found so far or bodies. They have found a unknown wreck. More than lightly this vessel.
  14. Cheers mate. Replied. SOLD.

  16. Oopps.. I always get past the ferry asap. Then back off to 10.. Feel a hinderence to the ferry if i get close and move slow..It has the right of way, so any misjudge on my part=splat lol...
  17. Decided to shoot out to the patch to try for a black bream.. Lovelly sunny day, surrounded by a few boats.. Being peak spring tides, i was chuffed that 8oz weight was enough to hold bottom.. Fished the whole of the ebb. Had one black bream bout 1 1/2 lb. Bout 14 mackeral BONUS.. Doggies,pout (livebait size).. And then the big suprise of the day. On a broken 1up1down rig, witch was now a 1 up lol, a 4-5lb bass.. So mission majorly accomplished. Struggled through the chain ferry down to 9knts against the current. Just enough depth to get back on my mooring.phew.
  18. Always greatfull of the help on here. So if anyone wants these, let me know.be a shame to bin them. Will clean up like new.. Just service rust.. Practically wipes off
  19. Drited and anchored the patch today.. Not even a sniff :-( Thats fishing..
