The gross weight will mean you need a braked trailer for this set-up. bear in mind the Honda is a heavy engine. Even with the 2 stroke on ours it was over the unbracked limit. We used to tow ours with a Mondeo 2.0 diesel no problem.

I have a tin in my cupboard should I report it. Sorry couldnt resist

Hi Mike, really good looking boat, what year is the boat. our boat had a 50hp 2 stroke and it went ok,later upgraded to a 70 hp 4 stroke wanted a 60hp but was none in UK. Fitted self leveling trim tabs and it made a big improvement. only a small thing but check transom bung is not split . as Coddy says check trailer brakes and bearings,we fitted bearing savers and a brake flushing kit. The Elite is a good boat and is easy to launch and retrieve. Have a look on Coddys site he does a good review. any questions just let me know. Mick.

Must admit I have always had boats small enough to run outboards,never had a inboard. I do seem to see a lot of boats with legs in bits being repaired,not so with an outboard. also to remove outboard is 4 bolts. I would agree with Mike Fox that it would be less hassle to change boats, you should have no problem selling yours as a lot of people are going over to outboards.

Very low hours,only used as auxiliary ,Full service in 2016 inc impeller. Starts and runs well. Tel;07528791105 £495.00 ono

Can they not restrict height that they can operate at. then only allow unrestricted drones to people who have the qualifications , licence and insurance

I think its a good idea as it may stop the idiots from giving people like Jim a bad image.

Had one done on a Honda a few years ago , I seem to remember it was not cheap.

Thats the one, just took red stop off and screwed to transom.

Seems to be working ok, I have problems operating a phone so dont envy you at all ( except large drink)

Ian Golds do a plastic one that you can fix to boat. I have fixed mine along the transom.

Brian usually watches the sight where ever he is,drop him a pm and I bet he answers .

I do the same at Baiter, but may use Cobbs, only problem with Cobbs is if they are using hoist its a long wait. Also slip is then covered in cr&p . really need to be on pontoon but expensive. Mick.

Hi Rob, Might fit bracket like Plaicemat has done so can have both winches on trailer. But if all else fails should be able to use car to pull boat on as trailer is braked.

Thanks Terry, I have got battery box which i strap to trailer just before putting trailer in water to retrieve boat. Have fitted quick release clamps to winch cables, Have to watch water level at Baiter. Cant use your set-up as trailer too far away from car at Baiter. This wont be a problem if I launch at Cobbs. Am using normal car battery. Cheers Mick.

Terry. 2 questions . did you fit a battery to the trailer,if so what type. also where do you launch from. Mick.

Hi Mal, Dont worry I knew what you meant. Its a Warrior Ninja 45SPS. Its to replace hand winch on trailer. Also got wireless control and need to replace wire rope with synthetic. just got to sort battery and am good to go.

Bought an electric winch from Winch-it on the Ferndown ind est, really great customer service,good price. would recommend anyone wanting a winch to try him.

i went out yesterday and found it a bit rougher than I thought it was going to be, but must say boat handled it with ease. As to the beam trawler now I know why the fishing was dire.Oh well will keep trying.

Just spent 1 1/2 hrs on boat changing lat & long so 0 in right place. Made a difference to the position of my marks . now I just need someone to go and tell the fish to be there.

Thanks got it now. Mick.

Thanks for replies, but not sure this answers question . What I mean is if the decimal no is only two numbers and my plotter needs three do I put a zero in front or after two numbers. ie; S/bourne rough N50.40.87 W01.47.91. so as my plotter has space for 3 nos would it be N050.040.087 W001.047.091. Cheers Mick.

Hi all, Am entering marks on new plotter and cant remember where the zero goes if you end with two numbers. ie 001,241.023 or is it 001.241.230. Many thanks,Mick.

know wonder we cant catch mackerel either .
