If space is avaliable can you put me down Bloody hell mate !!!! Being put down is a bit of a drastic step. Have a cup of tea and think about it first. Life has a lot to offer even to fishermen Mad Mike Can I answer you after I'd spent a day on a boat with you? I may ask to be put down too.......

Her name is Sweet Honey [Luckily we don't have to use boat name as handle in here....] Her maiden voyage will probably be in a few weeks time, as I have a trade fair next weekend and I have to go up to Glasgow on the 2 coming tuesday (which is mt normal day off). Fancy a fishing trip out of Lymington?

Nearly there. Just need to connect up the battery tomorrow (as long as it's not raining) and it's finished.

I'm a little confused, are bearing savers original equipment or can they be retro-fit?

Thank you everyone, it's of great help, just need to put that into practice when I go out.

Can't you just use large seld tapping screws? The fixing at the top is 'tension' and the fixing at the bottom is 'compression', it doesn't have a large pulling force on them. If you really want large locking typed bolt, just trade fixing suppliers they have all sorts of plasterboard type but much larger.

Go down to the garden centre and see if they sell the tap for water butt seperately, or down to a plumbing centre abd see what they have. If you don't fancy that, you can use the bilge pump to empty the drum.

I had an alderney ring on my old boat it was round, but that went with the boat. I had to order something from Crayside so I bought a set from them too ( to save on postage). However, this one come with a stopper in the shape of a triangle How do I connect this one up? On the old one was easy, clip ring to bouy, and rope thru the ring.

Bob's right, the water will circulate by itself plus the fish's swimming action help to move the water. I would put the inlet higher than the outlet, first it won't have the back plow problem and it will put more oxygen into the water, i.e., you won't have to have the bilge pump working as often.

Anyone know how can I connect these 2 hoses of different sizes? From the outboard to the fuel filter, and from the filter out is the larger hose, sod's law, sprouts at both of my tanks are of the smaller type. Rang a couple of chandlers but they haven't got anything.

Flipping 'eck, what's going wrong? Another speedboat went up in smoke in Hayling Island yesterday.

The answer is pretty simple. What brand oil do you (plan to ) use for your Rav 4?If you take it to a Toyota garage, they will properly use Castrol or Durnham or something which they buy in @ 100 litre drum. Then, you may ask, why are there so many brand of oils and the costs can vary between

Thanks Martin, printed and posted. Lets hope I get my licence before I get 'Sweet Honey' to sea.

Anyone got the contact number/detail of getting a boat radio licence? Isn't it the wireless telecommunication something?! It should be at the back of your current licence disk. Thanks.
