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 .

Went yesterday,got wet. seems to be more boats,only 1 electronics stand (Raymarine). could go to Baiter there is a free to enter show but not been to that.

Just wondered why Poole council are allowing all the retirement flats to be built, and then go about closing all the public loos . do they not realise old people need to go more often.

Yummy cake Dont do big celebrations at my age Thanks all,Mick.

done

done

Thanks Brian.

know anyone who does Coppercoat localy

Anyone thought of using Coppercoat.

Cheers Brian.

Not sure about trying to antifoul boat on trailer. asked Cobbs and they want £100+ to put on blocks and the same to take it off. other option is drystack but Cobbs way to much, Rockley only start 0800 and stop 1600,can leave on pontoon if back late and they lift out next day,not sure about leaving boat near to turlin moor. At the moment keep on trailer and launch as req but lot of hassle to launch & retreive ,wash down hull. and put on drive. Oh the joys of a boat.

Thinking of putting boat on F pontoon at Cobbs and need to anti-foul for the first time. Want to get it done properly so does anyone know who to use? Cheers Mick.

Well ordered new 6mm acrylic windows from Precision Eng in Poole,very nice person and a very good price. fitted windows using bedding tape from Hadlow marine instead of sealant , really easy and being grey looks great,tested today with hose and no leaks

Hi all. Looking to replace front windows on 175 with clear instead of tinted, anyone know what they are made of and the best place to buy. Warrior only do tinted in sets. Cheers Mick.
