What a complete and utter twat Keith Arthur must be.

The reason the diagram I put up showed the batteries like that is: My boat came with an 85Ah Leisure battery and I happened to have a brand new 105Ah starting battery so rather than wasting money, I used what I had. I didn't bother with isolating switches etc, as the boat lives at home in my driveway, I decided to keep things simple (less to go wrong).

Instead of using an ordinary relay, as on Coddy's site, I used a Voltage Sensitive Relay. This way when the altenator output reaches 13.7 volts the batteries are linked as soon as the voltage drops they separate. The relay cost

I might also give Tuesday a go. I might see you somewhere in the harbour.

Just tried to sign, it wouldn't let me, apparently I signed in November. A memory would be very useful!!!

I've just been out and checked the pressures. They're reading 57.5psi and it's probably about 2 degrees C.

I've got the same tyres on the trailer of my Warrior 165, I inflate to 60psi.

Hi Alex Welcome to the forum. What sort of budget have you got? I would suggest you try to get out on as many small boats as possible, it'll help you decide on the one that suits you. Where are you?

Happy New Year Paul and welcome to the site. I'm sure Adam or Bob will be able to provide all the info you want.

Happy New Year I know it's a bit early, but I suffer from Premature Congratulation.

Nice one Bob.

Presumably you'd have to take it on the boat, to count in the Year Long Species Hunt"

Exactly. After working in MoD for 43 years, you soon realise that the government only change things for their own benefit, not ours. Most changes are a cost cutting exercise, it's the front line services that get cut, not the bureaucracy.

Oh no it doesn't!..........

I was going to put a length of angle iron through the middle, but Diane wouldn't let me.

Now that you mention it No, he pinched it from my tackle box (not my wife's)!!!!!!!!!!

A New Mouse for Women After years of research, scientists have discovered that women do not like the standard mouse supplied with PCs. Scientists found that there is no physical reason for their aversion; it is more of a Psychological problem. Some women reported that their mouse 'just didn't feel right'in their hands. Based on the research,a new mouse has been designed especially for women. Various field tests have been carried out on the new design: Chantelle from Roodepoort said:- 'It feels so much better. More comfortable, more like how it's supposed to be.' Wendy from Discovery added:- 'I think mice were originally designed just for men, but this new type is definitely made for women. It fits right in with my lifestyle.' Susan from Pretoria said:- 'I took to it like a duck to water, every woman should have one!' Tanya from Lindhaven said:

Jim Doesn't look so much like a lighthouse this time!!!!

There's a petition to save the Coastguard stations, here's a link. http://www.petitiononline.com/ukcghq/petition.html

Have you looked here, Boats and Outboards?

No chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What sort of budget have you got?

Me too.

Certainly worth fishing in the Harbour, a 3lb 8oz flounder was caught Monday evening at Evening Hill. Herring are being caught in the vicinity of Aunt Betty and there's always a chance of a Bass. Other years cod have been caught at Evening Hill this time of year. For flounders I use size 1 hooks baited with ragworm. For Herring, jig with small feathers or something like Mini Hokkai's
