Wimp Seriously though if your thinking of DIY then talk to Tony Deavin. He has just fitted one on his boat himself so has a little knowledge....yes I do know that a little knowledge can be dangerous Martin

Dennis sorry to here of your woes At least you are in good hands at Salterns. One of the engineers there (Martin) has worked on AWOL several times and I have nothing but praise for him his knowledge and his skills Martin

Awol with Dean, Tony and Martin

Dave To make a decision as to which prop is best you will need a rev counter. You will also need to know what the manufacturer specifies as max revs. Fit a prop to the engine and load the boat with your normal traveling weight. Now try it and see what speed and revs you achieve with each prop. You are looking to get as near to the manufacturers recommended rev range without going over. Which ever prop does this is the correct one...........maybe. If it over revs you could cook the engine if you get nowhere near the rev range you will be straining the engine. Hope that helps Martin

Having had a new windscreen fitted on Friday am we were a little later leaving than the rest of the pack. With the weather being perfect for travelling and others bait fishing we made good time so soon caught everyone else up. We decided to go straight to the shambles and take our chances on the bait front. We soon got some bait although it was decidedly hard work with both mackerel and launce coming aboard sporadically. First proper drop and Dean was into a turbot of around 4lb. Then...........................nothing. We decided to try Portland race to try for bass. It was a tad lumpy in there and with just one small bass being caught for our efforts. Soon gave up and opted for a last drift on the bank but without any luck. A quick run into Portland harbour wash and brush up then walk into town? for a very nice curry. Up on Saturday just in time to see Alfresco leave port to plunder those offshore wrecks. We along with most others decided to have a late start so after breakfast and a lot of fiddling about we left for another day on the banks. As there was enough bait left on ice from Friday we started fishing straight away. First drop and Dean is into a small Brill that was about sizable but went back to fight another day. Very slow today with Dean catching a gurnard and a couple of Weavers and that was it. Dean fished as hard as ever I have seen him fish but all to no avail and I blanked, not a blooming fish but still enjoyed the day. The evening gathering at
