A few other highlights from the water based dipping solution, I'm finding it hard to stop!:

Bits that couldn't be dunked got 2 coats of paint on rust converter and the a 2 part epoxy paint. Even the bits that were stripped in the water based solution got a coat of rust converter, that turns them dark / black and creates a barrier on the surface.

Bit of magic water based rust remover / converter overnight:

Not great condition, this is 5yrs and with a flush kit!

After Dartmouth i had a failing brake on the trailer. The lining had come away from the shoe. I got the kit needed delivered and set to work. Having taken the drums apart i felt i needed to clean them up a bit. Various BiltHamber products were bought.

Well, JVs tender motor is now sorted. Couple of new gaskets, anode and fuel filter. Plus cracked handle repair. Started within a couple of pulls after assembly. Tonight is have set the tickover and run it up for 40 mins. It now starts with a single pull as i would expect it to. Quick repair to the inside of the cowling and all is good to return it to its owner. The colour of the fuel filter suggests it hadn't been changed from the "service" it had. The amount of crud taken from the fuel tank was caught in my red Coleman fuel filter. Photo of the handle and cowling repair.

You will need 2 in the boat to enter a comp - safety un all (the other person does not have to be a club member). hint hint:

Enoy!

No problemo! Being a Poole based club, our waters are from Portland Bill and At Catherine's. North to the mainland and south to the coast of France. Good luck in the comp. Rob

Straight up from at Catherine's, catches the end of Calshot spit and is to the west of the Hamble.

You'll need to be in the western Solent for you catch to count!

Well.......best specimen over the 3 dates - not necessarily 1st, 2nd & 3rd (depends on prizes I have etc). Indeed, species comp is their best score the junior fishes not total, hence, Jayden is on an equal footing fishing just once. R

All here Charlie: http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/ipb/topic/19414-junior-comp-results/

Drystack i belive charlie - though anodes are still a good idea! R

Cheers all, I can get things sorted now as I have final numbers. R

All, tomorrow I need the names of all entrants for the last junior comp on 24th. No entrants can be added after tomorrow. So far I have: 24th September Jayden Wald age 11 - Alfresco Reuben Franklin - Joint Venture Olivia Francis - Joint Venture Sam Annear - Joint Venture Dom Annear - Joint Venture Lucy Marriott - Serenity Blake Witheford - Kingfisher Jacob Givans - Kingfisher Chris Samways - Solan Charlotte Samways - Solan

Hey, welcome! R

Sounds like you two should go halves as only need one each?

Enjoy!

Looking good Brian.

Afraid not Paul. The reason for the last day has been to keep the kids all fishing on the same day and it will risk loosing them for the BBQ. Good luck in Shoreham, hopefully we can still see you at Cobb's. Rob

Brush off of the stat and over night in the Salt-X works wonders! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

I have these, as so others in the club. They are great except designed for freshwater in the US! So, when the rams rust (they will) replace with stainless ones. I have done this and so far so good. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Now to inspect the thermostat (this engine was given to a local firm to service and see why wasn't running well not very long ago): Anode on left and thermostat on right!!!!
