HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREV Hope you have a good one Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM I am sure you will have a drink or two to celebrate. Dave

Kind of Magic result: 1 x Black Bream 1lb 11oz - Dave Samuel Sorry Allan

Hi Graham Re the fuel pipe, is it the fuel pipe from your tank to the engine you are referring to? If so do you have the large bore pipe/connector to allow sufficient fuel flow? There are normally two 5/16" or 3/8" I would think you need 3/8" dia. Saw a similar problem on another forum with a 140hp with same problem, turned out to be too smaller id fuel pipe and it was also collapsing where it was held with a zip clip. Do you mean the primer bulb? This should have a one way valve built in but if the fuel flow is too great it might collapse under suction? Sorry to hear of water leak problems, should be an easy fix for you now, with all your GRP skills and a good size dowel in the hole. Did a quick check and I would think you did approx 10nm each way so approx 2ltrs/mile which seems a bit excessive for a 115HP Dave

Well done Toby & son Toby why not fill out the fish of the month award for your son http://www.anglingtrustwessex.co.uk/#/juni...tion/4553362001 You never no he might win a prize! Dave

If anyone is interested it is Poole Angling Centre's Bream Open the same day. Club members can fish both if they wish too. I have put details on the calender. Dave

Sorry to hear the news, too many people think they can just help themselves to whatever they want. Problem is IF they get caught there is no deterant to stop them doing it again. I hope you get the insurance sorted out ok. Dave

Hi all I saw this and thought it may help those of you who use a lazy line or anchor & retreve from the cockpit of the boat. I haven't tried it yet but will give it a go next time I am out http://www.animatedknots.com/alpinebutterfly/index.php Dave

Hi Toby I would suggest a talk to these people http://www.smlmarinepaints.co.uk/ What they don't know about which stuff to use and how to apply it is not worth knowing. I have used Jotun antifoul and found it very good, in fact I still have it on my boat which is on a trailer at home! Used to have a moored boat in Holes Bay, yes slime on the waterline but a few quick blasts soon helps remove most of it, a quick wash & brush up using your tender and the majority comes off. Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLIE Hope you had a good day. When you get as old as me you can "think" about retiring, Dave

Many thanks for all the good wishes. Yes I will be having a drink and the sun did shine on me today I even got a new rod, which I chose, a Penn Powerstik 20/30 braid, just got to try it out and get a big fish to give it a tug! Dave

Thanks all for the info Dave

Has anyone got access to bead blasting as my son has 2 aluminium brake calipers off his race car which need cleaning before he refurbishes them. Please PM or email me if anyone can help Thanks Dave

Sitting on the tool box looks uncomfortable as well! Dave

Sorry Allan but I am away in North Wales that week-end Dave

Do we have girlies at the other end? Do they talk about non fishing topics? In that case I'll give it a miss Dave

Sounds good nigel, hope all goes well for you and you start pushing the species again. All the best Dave

Graham Please be aware that your anodes will need to be in good condition and will need checking regularly as you may well find that they disapear a lot faster. Dave

How about this on EBay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Navionics-Gold-/...=item4164aec0d6 Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM Hope you have had a good day and even better evening Dave

The responses from Mark Lloyd on on the WSF forum but if you want a quick link look here http://www.worldseafishing.com/downloads/W...QA_10042012.pdf Dave

Dan Might be worth a good search on oil pump problems as I recall some people did disconnect the auto oil pump due to problems and then self mixed the oil in the fuel. If I come accross anything I will make a post. I would suggest a good service and check over by a good marine engineer before going out as you don't want to be caught out in the run at Christchurch or Keyhaven with the tide going out! Dave

Hi Chris Here you go:- PBSBAC Club Competition Rules
