Not sure that would work very well Trevor as bilge blowers are normally connected to the ignition system and therefore would only come on when you use the boat. If left on permanent they would drain the battery and even if on a timer would need to be on every day so would still drain the battery. Of course if you plan to use Otter everyday then problem solved

Mike I think you will find the us regulations are in place because more users have petrol boats than over here hence the 4 minutes to clear fumes before starting a sparking engine

By calling it an amnesty they make it sound illegal to have flares

Trevor My boat has bilge blowers that are on all the time the engine is running. Not sure whether their needed on a diesel boat but were fitted as standard when new so guess they are. I think they maybe needed more for getting air into the engine room rather than vacating it. In the winter months I use a dehumidifer to keep the mouldy growths away

You didn't you took it left it and I ended up with the leftovers in my garage! All gone now though

So sorry to hear this Matt please accept my Condolences R.I.P Peter

Last year was my first full year on the water and was dreading what I would find when Madness came out. Needn't of worried as all I had was slime with no long growth or barnacles. I used Seajet Shogun in black, seems to be a black theme going here anyhow as it performed last year I have used it again this time. Shogun also got a good right up in the PBO magazine

For those not on facebook

Happy Birthday Dan

Happy birthday son, see you later

Happy Birthday Mark

Have a great day Dave and Happy Birthday

Greg I am not but they may be. Rob no they are not and to date they never have. You were at the meeting when this was discussed so I guess you will have heard what was said. If however they do want us to encourage juniors to bring dead fish home purely for the glory then I guess we as a club would be sending them a letter/sign that we disapprove by disassociating ourselves from them.

Glad you made the meeting Bob, your decision to join the club could reduce your learning curve dramatically so don't be shy, jump in with both feet and take full advantage of what the club have to offer

Happy birthday chaps, you chose a good day weather wise, best day of the week

I need new trousers or a smaller belt

Are any other club members planning on going to part or all of this meet 20th - 27th May? Weather permitting I would like to go the first weekend probably leaving on the Friday returning home either Sunday or Monday

They're great people at precision and they make stuff for Sunseeker so must be ok. I had a replacement rear door for my Warrior 195 off them many moons ago which was brill. You now need to get out and give the windows a proper try

Agree 100% with that statement

Happy birthday Greg, hope you had a relaxing day

Happy Birthday Mike and Rob hope it was a good one............bloody cold though

The ladies are lovely Tiling is ok, decorating is crap, my advice don't employ them
