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 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

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.

Hi all props off and changed managed to tap the nut with the lugs on gently with flat ended punch to undo then got stainless tube to make the tool to refit it with. Luckily everything was nicely greased and I could pull props of by hand. Thanks for everyone's help

Thanks charlie

Morning steve thank you for the offer I will buy my own set in the future. My rush is I've been let down on a job next week so I think I'm going to have a go at it tomorrow afternoon and hopefully go fishing rest of the week if I can't russle up some work. Or can I buy a set locally? Any tips or tricks to doing it?

Hi I've got 16ft aluminium sea nymph (high freeboard) 20hp 4 stroke electric/pull start honda teleflex steering new battery and bilge pump Used for fishing christchurch ledge £2500ono

Hi I'll get photos to share when I'm next at the boat. All i know about engine is 4 cylinder 150hp turbo diesel volvo penta no electronics on it, the leg duo prop that's all i know! Is there a id plate on the leg?

Morning everyone, where the end of the Tflex goes into cast bit by the hydraulic ram i have what I'd call a liner in the casting that moves when steering moves creating play maybe this is how they are. Leg and inboard is totally alien to me hence why I'm vague. Ideally I'd like hydraulic helm all the way through to leg. Hoping I can chat to someone as I haven't a clue Thanks in advance
