Need to establish current draw of your starter. You could melt the wire if trying to use it to assist starting..... maybe it won't..... with petrol around, I wouldn't risk it.

50 or 70mm probably for negative and positive, depending on outboard current draw. R

I am not understanding what the reason is behind your setup. Usually, 2 batteries which are designated as starter and leisure use multiple switches (3) with a cross over functionality. The installation of a auto sensing split charge relay, allows for the leisure to be charged when underway. Beauty of the above, allows the leisure to be drained when at anchor etc, and will leave you with a full charged starter battery when you head home. The cross over option, allows you to start the engine via the leisure battery in a flat starter situation. Great redundancy. The 16mm cable should be sized to allow starting of the engine from 5m away, not charging only..... The model of outboard, will determine how big that cable really needs to be. Happy to chat through if you'd like. R

Flapping and panic generally help no one. Many many many years (decades?) of going to sea experience obviously came in to play, and Chris wouldn't have been phased and called upon that knowledge. Also, the best way to think is to keep distractions at bay (hence, he told you to fish Mal! All part of his plan [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] ). Top job on you both, making ready a secondary plan and being self sufficient! And to have a few fish and species on top, a great day! R

Why use Ai for useful science and medical break throughs when you can do this:

Prob needs to be forwarded to Poole Dolphins. Still, worth making our membership aware. R

Not sure if you are aware but you can wash you boat down after use. Maybe you need better crew!!!! R

Sounds like a good boat share opportunity!

Good for skate apparently...... the Poole Bay Monster! R

I think it is per boat, not person..... I guess you request a new one. R

I found your calendar Jim!

I remember the Guinness was good some years ago!!!! R

Not sure, planning needed!!!

Well, 1, we were blueshark fishing. I had just lowered a semi live whiting over the side on 7 strand wire trace and 450lb mono. I was not expecting to hook what was a train at full speed, as I was about to loosen the drag!!! Hahaha! R
