That's a bit deep and meaningful Martin Philosophical!!!! Speaking more as a pig than a chicken Tony PS is the turbo fixed???

Have a good one ROB make sure that she spoils you Happy Birthday Tony

Andrew Don't feel too bad about it We all have to learn one day, and it is probably the most dangerous part of boating Take the opportunity to go out with a couple of other members or offer them a ride to get the benefit of other people's experiences At least you have not got the rope round the prop yet!!? Always keep a sharp knife available in case you do Tony

Ok check the spark at the plugs If not there it is probably kill cord Tony

Just a thought Check the quality of the connection on the earth strap It may be worth undoing and cleaning with a wire brush Tony

Try cranking the engine with the throttle fully open and out of gear This should work if the engine is flooded, get ready to throttle down if it fires Did you check for a spark at the plugs, use a rag as you can get a nasty shock off modern engines Are the carburettors free of oil deposits that could block jets Worth a try Good luck Tony

I was also out on Sunday fishing off the Needles on Serenity I use a bruce copy of 7.5 kilos with 10m of 8mm chain I carry 160 metres of 14mm multiplait and had most of that out The anchor held all day in both directions. You need to be cautious when you launch the anchor not to let the rope jerk when it starts to hold the boat. If you can hold the rope and then slow it down when it reaches the amount you want out, or catch the weight of the boat on the engine , this will prevent the anchor pulling out straight away. Tony

I have a SD holder for a micro SD card if needed Tony

Does he want a trip on my boat to share skills??? Tony
