Good shout already in contact with them, thanks for help

Morning I'm looking for bits for volvo penta 290 dp leg i need steering yoke and helmet. Can anyone help or suggest places to try?

Tripped the anchor with alderney ring set up, pulled anchor in midship over the gunnal on chanbilly into rhino bucket on deck. Unclip the bouy and left anchor in the bucket on deck just incase but didn't put new cable ties on. So heading in chatting to Ady explaining we nip pass the end of Hengistbury head groyne about 50ft away but I don't see the point because if anything goes wrong it's then time critical so passed about quarter mile off then within couple of minutes the boat went hard to port or starboard, correcting the steering but not responding as I was expecting. 1st thought was I'd run over pot buff or line and it was around the leg/props and pulling us back into neutral and ady went to see if we had caught something as i lifted leg up, no all clear he said Hmmmm I went from lock to lock on the wheel and ask ady is it moving? Only a little he said we swapped positions and I called are you moving the wheel? yes ady replied! Straight back into the wheelhouse to share the news we've lost steering and to grab cable ties to retrip the anchor. Anchor out boat save called coastguard at 17.27 explained situation and they said they'd put Pan pan couple of times with 10mins intervals and be back in touch. I did say only other vessels in sight were sailing boats, so I didn't hold out much hope. A young lad who works on mudeford ferry came out in his 5m rib and offer a tow but I explained we're 2.5ton 27ft and the boat suffers from the bow, wheelhouse catching the wind so I would prefer to wait for the lifeboat he also agreed. At this time sun was setting and all 3 of us were wondering why the lifeboat hadn't been tasked already (time approx 19.00) Coastguard kept asking if we could arrange a commercial tow but I explained that if I could it would be well into darkness which isn't ideal. 8pm after speaking to Coastguard again they tasked mudeford lifeboat which promptly arrived took us under tow and back to my mooring up the river, which we arrived at 22.00. Today I've been on Chanbilly and found bracket holding power steering has broken on the weld so fingers crossed 🤞 it's a very easy fix

Well where do I start? It all finished with the lifeboat! And a happy ending A nice chap called Adrian from the club met at mine 7.30am off to Chanbilly we went, duly plodded down river through the harbour and out over the bar. Fishing commenced drifting near christchurch ledge approx 1 mile of but no birds working. Very quiet in had 1 undersized bass but gave a very spirited fight as if it was a descent fish. Ady had a mackerel and I a garfish not alot happening so off to sewer bouys to try for Ady tea and fresh bait he managed 2 little mackerel not tea sized though off into livebait well (there lucky day released at the end of the day) We anchored up near the bouys and stayed there all day, frozen mackerel was working well. We had a few cracking runs but didn't connect 😕 We probably caught approx 6 thornbacks each all descent size and returned. About 5pm packed up as plenty of depth to go over the bar and still flooding rods tucked away and wind had picked up a little. TBC

Space filled

Hi looks like I'm probably going out fishing tomorrow, leaving from christchurch 07973371415 anyone interested

Hi if your not planning on going miles out with my 18ft icelander I sold the donkey engine and joined seastart then I didn't have the hassle of putting donkey engine on and off if all the time or if your leaving it on the worry of it being stolen

Josh the other chap is away for next 14days

Probably not I'm afraid he's retired. I do know another person but I'd have to get his number tomorrow

Sorry I don't had it been christchurch I would have. I'm sure someone will recommend someone

Where is the boat poole?

Morning no catch report managed to misjudge tides yesterday morning and couldn't/didn't want to risk getting through christchurch harbour but then there not being enough depth to get over the bar at the end of the run. Nipped out in the afternoon to check props but wind had picked up so sloppy out had flick about with the lure rod but nothing Gummage I might be going out Wednesday depending on weather etc etc
