Hi all

The 43rd Annual General Meeting of the Angling Trust, Wessex Region Marine will be held on Friday 9th March 2012, at the

We are in our electricity prices

It's got to be better than a nucular power station being built

Dave

I wonder how much he wants for it.

 

Although, Sitting around in the sunshine, bobbing around on the water and even getting time to dangle a rod or two must be a horrible way to spend your days.   

 

Jim

Might do a swap for a 165 with pansies !!!

Only joking

Dave

Graham

If what you mean is where the fuel filling pipe is connected try looking at the kit car fittings.

You may have to use riv-nuts to fix the new fitting and I also used blue seal sealant on the gaskets to make sure it was fuel tight.

Hope it helps

Dave

Just to act as a reminder to everyone.

Dave

Cheers all for the info

I thought I had an old mini flywheel pulley somewhere but need to have a deeper look.

Looking to borrow Jims puller if needed.

Dave, not sure size of bolts but look about 6 or 8mm with 3 holes

Will advise how I get on

Dave

Hi all

Has anyone a 3-leg pulley I can borrow as I need to remove the flywheel from my outboard. It is a Yamaha 40HP twin carb, old but works a treat.

It would need to be fairly large to get the legs under the flywheel.

I need to see where there is a break in the lighting coil as it is not charging and no output from the coil. :-(

Many thanks

Dave

Sorry to hear Nigel

As posted on FB if there is anything I can do or help with just ask.

Dave

Mike

That info might come out of the 2012 fishing survey if people tell the truth.

Dave

Well thats put the kibosh on that then!

Opps!

Duncan you are totaly correct

Must think more before I type, sorry my mistake

Senior moments getting more common

Who am I again?

There has been a few threads on WSF of this engines on the 640 regarding props and if I recall most seem to go well on a 16" prop but not sure of the pitch.

If stainless steel I think the 17" worked best but they had to tweak the pitch.

So much depends on the amount of weight on the boat including people!.

Dave

Hi Adam

Have a look here http://www.smlmarinepaints.co.uk/

I have used Jotun paints and found them very good and value for money

Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL

I hope you have a great day and the weather does not put off the special occasion

Dave

I saw Holes bay was partly frozen near the shore line today but I did see a bait digger out getting worms!

Must have been desperate or foolhardy as I can't see many wanting bait this time of year in these temps!

Dave

Hi all

My three would be

1. Restrictions (to start with) of netting within a set minimum distance from the shore of 1 mile with a gap between nets of at least 1/2mile

2. All trawling within 6 miles from shore

3. No discards, all fish caught count as part of total quota (may mean no msl)

I also have a copy of the Southern IFCA Bye-Laws and will post any useful info I can from it, you can read for yourself if you wish here http://www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/byelaws

Just food for thought, I have been looking at the minimum retaining size for fish as published by the AT compared to DEFRA. http://anglingtrust.net/page.asp?section=163

In some cases it seems we use smaller size than DEFRA which does seem crazy i.e.

Dab DEFRA min 23cm

Dab AT min 20cm

Flounder DEFRA min - 27cm

Flounder AT - 25cm

Perhaps the AT should up the minimum sizes to at least match DEFRA's minimum size or higher.

Dave

ps correction made to sizes

Hi Mike

Good idea on the above

One addition WAT - Wessex Angling Trust - http://www.anglingtrustwessex.co.uk/

Slight correction needed PDSA should be PDSAA Poole District Sea Anglers Association

I am hoping to get the WAT web site updated so that it can publish more info to all

Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tom

Hope you had a good day

It will be even better next year with the new addition to give you that extra pressy!

Dave

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARTIN

Hope you had a good day and enjoying the evening with a glass or two

Dave

Hi all

 

Bill, (known as Ferret), has asked me to post the sale of his dinghy, trailer and outboard.

 

It is a 3 seat GRP dinghy which is just over 9ft long and nearly 5ft wide, will seat 3 or 4 people but if used for fishing I would suggest 2 for comfort.

 

Comes complete with rowlocks & oars, anchor rope and anchor.

He also has a Seagull outboard, I think it is a 40 which is about 2+HP which is also available. It all sits on a light trailer which could do with a bit of a clean up and repaint.

All sensible offers considered

Contact Bill on 07958 705005

 

I have the Seagull stored at my home if anyone wishes to see it.

NOW SOLD

Hi Jamie

 

As you say it was certainly cold.

Managed to get to Force 4 so Diane could buy my present, two new Auto lifejackets and a fuel filter/water separator, went out to lunch and then took Diane shooting. The idea being she could buy me a new gun while we were there, but she didn't take the hint.

Brian

I know things are quite for fishing but using a gun to get your fish seems a triffle extreme!

Dave

HAPPY BIRHTDAY BRIAN & JAMIE

Home you both have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!

Dave

Hi all

A friend of mine recently replaced a seacock fitting to his boat but before doing so he did a bit of investigating as to which he should buy and found this very interesting article.

This is a report and findings of a flooding on a charter boat, Random Harvest out of Brighton in July 1999 but has some very good recommendations for all small boat owners.

Those of you who have their boat out now or about to do so, I would suggest you give this article a good read and check your craft for possible failure and other suggestions for improvements.

Link to article is here http://www.maib.gov.uk/cms_resources.cfm?f...m%20harvest.pdf

Poole harbour and I suspect many other harbours where there are a few marinas with electricity supply available may well have similar issues with electrolytic corrosion.

Dave

Sorry, Charlie you are correct

I stand corrected

Dave

Hi Martyn

Good to see you back on the forum.

Good luck with your trip, I will be out on a friends boat as are many others, it will interesting to see what is caught after all the lousy weather recently.

Looking forward to May

Dave
