Perhaps you can slip her a fish or three instead! Coddy

Hi all Went out of Weymouth on Sunday with father-in-law, he is not a good sailor My intention was to head for the Shambles but sea state and father-in-laws tummy said otherwise! Tried to get some shelter from the sea and wind close in to Portland headland but it was still lumpy and drifting did not help. BB was right about the fishing comp on the breakwater near the Hood it was packed! Anchored just away from it and managed to pick up two baby smooties, pout, scad, pout and mackeral. Portland harbour water was full of white sea horses and a fair chop produced by the stong wind so we did not venture too far in. On the seaward side of the breakwaters there was plenty of mackeral so for next weeks Trail away you should be alright for bait! Famous last words. We did not stay out too long as he was not well but it was good to get out but a shame not to meet up with you all. Good news is we hope to have a buyer for our house bad news is we can not find what we are looking for yet Will have to rent a house for a while if unable to find what we want but at least I might get some fishing in before the winter sets in. Regards Coddy

Hi all I am not sure if you are all aware of the MCA site (Marine & Coastguard Agency) at http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/mcga-home.htm Check out the Newsroom and Seasmart, it makes you think about safety and "by the grace of god go I" I think we have all had some sort of 'near miss' but some of these stories are unbelivable. I don't want to be a "downer" but it goes make interesting reading especialy the prosecution section! Regards Coddy

Bit over the top and not easy to handle. Interestingly they used pennel rigs but the top hook was left empty, the bottom hook was put in the mouth of the live bait. Seemed to work however Coddy

Hi Guys & Gals I hope to be down for the Bank Holiday week-end and weather permitting with my boat! Are any of you guys going to be around? If so where will be you be launching from? I think high tide is late AM Saturday & Sunday As it is Bank Holiday I suppose it will be packed both at Poole & Weymouth I will keep a check on the site and your thoughts Regards Coddy

Hi Adam You have the same engine as me but the 50hp version. Handbook says: (Quote) SAE 10W-30 viscosity oil is recommended for use in all temperatures. SAE 25W-40 viscosity oil may be used at temperatures above 40F (4C) Use Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubrucants 4-stroke outboard oil or 4-cycle marine engine oil with the proper viscosity for the expected temperature in your area. If not available use a premium quality 4-cycle engine oil, certified to meet or exceed any one or combinations of the following American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Classification SH, SG, SF, CF-4, CE, CD, CD11 (End quote) Seems like you can use a good quality car engine oil with out any problems. Out of interest can you advise me how much the oil filter is as I need to carry out an oil change on my engine. Regards Coddy

Did you use "magic" tape to seal it? Coddy

Hi If you want the easy route check out Crayside Marine web site as they sell this ready made for a number of boats. Regards Coddy
