Forgot to mention - I have been and gone to Trailer Tek - Manged to go whilst passing. Rob

No worries - I have recently fitted (in Jan) a different prop for JoJo. I have been out a few times and I have noticed I can now hit the correct Max RPM (and hence power) at WOT. However I am yet to work out my fuel consumption - I had it plotted for the old prop (via fuel flow meter) and intend to log the consumption with this new prop. Here is one on my original threads on the subject: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=8598 Enjoy Rob

All, If you need crew or wish to crew for the PBSBAC Open - please list your names \ boats here:

Please can you add your name to the list below if you are planning on fishing the PBSBAC excellent Open comp Sunday 29th Aug: 1. Star Turn - Rob F & Charlie A

Prop size and pitch and blade number and cupping are all critical. It is a mine field and an expensive one too! You are trying to select the right gear for you needs. Too little pitch and you might over rev, too muh and you won't hit wot (if you want to). Then you get to number of blades and size - another can of worms. Did I mention materials? S\Steel or ali - thinness of the S\S can be more efficient but you coudl have more issues if you strike something! Best thing is find someone who has a similar setup to you and ask them! What boat is she? If she works as you hope maybe best left alone! If you ae thinking of experimenting the question whould be why, what is not satisfactory. Remember that top end is not that useful 99% of the time!!! Rob

Don't worry Ian - we all understand (he's from Bristol - nuff said!)

Please can all those who have collected \ arranged sponsors prizes please arrange to get them to me over the next week or so. I can come to you if required. Many thanks Rob

Nice work Jim!!!

Paint her in 4 parts with different types - it's the only way you will find out for sure - then going forward you will know! Assuming you can get it in smaller 1 litre \ 750ml tins. Rob

Don't fish here or here or here!!!!

If you keep her below 8knots this seems cheap: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Painting+D...ing/d150/sd3261 But that isn't going to happen!

We had half that big plaice last night - it was very nice - simply baked with the usual suspects (s&p, olive oil, butter) with a twist of orange and roasted veg. It seemend to have more flavour than the smaller ones I have caught. I am too please with my recent purchase of a vaccum sealer - bought after the glut of Turbos from Alderney. Seems to keep the fish beautifully, I have also stopped washing the fish before freezing too. Mmmmmmm! Rob

Now that's mean!!! Good though!!!

Welcome - why not come to our club meeting this Thursday in Parkstone? Post your pic in your profile so we can recognise who you are. Martin has a contact for flaked ice and several will knwo where to get cubed from too - if not the supermarket. ATB Rob

Thanks Dave, your a great ambassador for this comp - I hope you get second prize (after me!!!). Seriously - thanks for you efforts. Rob

Becareful not to use it with no areial \ bad connection, this can pop something expensive inside!!!

Give them a call Paul - I know the gimbled cup holders I bought from them aren't on their website as I saw them in store. You never know they might do them. Rob
