Maverick Martin

Adam Maverick is fitted with manual hydraulic trim tabs (didnt know they did auotmatic) and are brilliant for trimming out a boat, it saves all the hassle of moving kit around the boat. They would definately work on BW They are I believe very easy to fit although I haven't personally fitted any. Come out on Maverick sometime and have a play. After that you'll want some Martin

Ah Gordon, See you have been nobled by the lads I was out today as well, had Dean and Bob H onboard. I blanked as did Dean but Bob had two floundersd in the boat, they were only small so they went straight back. I did play a good sized bass to the boat where it promptly threw the hook it looked to be a fish of around 5lb excellent size for the harbour. Martin

Hi all read what Suzuki have to say about us on their website http://www.suzuki-marine.co.uk/news_detail.php?id=0063 Martin

Sam First thing to do is phone the southern sea fisheries office to see if 1. they do take work experience and 2. if not why not and would they be prepared to take someone if they were vetted. Get the number off your dad, he should have it somewhere. If there not registered to take w/e I'm sure the school could contact the agency that vet employers and get them on the list. All the employer has to do is set aside half hour to sort the paperwork and interview. Its a basic interview on health and safety procedures and inspect there employers insurance cover note and thats basically it. Give it a try, nothing ventured nothing gained! Martin

Duncan It doesn't matter to much if the bracket is not upright as engines usually have a built in adjustment bar that can be moved to compensate the angle Martin

Hi Hoggy Looks like you are amongst friends...welcome Martin

Duncan You been on the sauce, I had to get one of my lads decode your last post for me

Paul You really oughta do something with your hair mate Martin

Paul Your as sad as me checking out the site stats Why is it that google appears to be the only spider crawling over our site, never seem to see others? End of March and plaice fishing is on its way...bring on those Weymouth trailaways Martin

Paul I cant comment on the lighter Pen rods as I have never used them. I do however have is a 30lb class pen and the fittings and finish are v good so would assume there other rods would be finished in similar fashion. The rods I use for every day fishing are a 12lb class ABU Conolon Pro, it is a cracking rod superbly finished but my favourite rod is a Team Diawa TDX 12lb class. It has a little more back bone when put under pressure than the conolon but will still give a lot of fun on the small stuff, its such a pleasure to use but is at in the upper end of the market.

Alun Under Dungeness you have not posted a reply, are you saying there is no spot on your envelope, if so this is correct. The thread envelope will not be marked on your machine until you have posted a reply. I think the idea of spots is to mark threads you have contributed to assist in keeping track of where you have posted. Update: I hadn't posted in that thread and had no dot, posted and a dot appeared, deleted post and spot dissapeared. Problem solved....I think Martin

I think you will find if you have contributed to a thread that the dot will appear. I have had a quick look through the forum and it seems to be like this for me Martin

Went to the London boat show at the Excel centre today with James, Adam and Mark. The main purpose for going was so that James could be officially presented with his shiny 70hp outboard motor from Suzuki and for me to accept

Jack you have a PM Martin

Intersting views boys if one of you could remind me tommorow it can be discussed in more detail at our meeting. If those that are unable to attend the meeting could post their views here, your input would be appreciated. Cheers Martin Ps cheers Paul for puting the links on the site so quickly

Shackles can and do come undone on occasions and should always be wired with a small piece of stainless wire, easy to do, means you dont have to overtighten your shackle and can undo it if needs be at a later date. Martin

Perhaps I should have said the chance of a cod! Martin

Dave You are more than welcome onboard Maverick. If I manage to get out in the next couple of weeks will give you a call. After mid feb we will all be suffering with cabin fever as the cod and whiting will be gone, the long wait then until the plaice arrive or if we are lucky enough to have some settled weather a try at the offshore wrecks Martin

Welcome Damon I cant say much more as the others have said it all, join in and enjoy Martin
