Anyone running a Volvo Penta D3 should take a look at this. Total Recall

Mike By "Main Channel" do you mean Middle Ship Channel? If so the restriction is relaxed during the winter. From PHC. "The Speed limit of 10 knots is applicable throughout the year, but is relaxed in the Wareham Channel, Middle Ship and North Channels only between 1 October and 31 March".

Hi Derek Good to hear it went well, did you use the dinghy? Brian

Hi Dave I now use the handheld type, I've had "marine" electric air horns in the past and they've corroded. Though I'm thinking about fitting plastic "FIAM" air horns the same as on my vehicle.

I wonder how a 1 mile ban would affect the Oyster and Mussell industry in Poole Harbour, because that's commercial fishing. I feel the petition should target nets and trawling within 1 mile of the coast. I can't see that a blanket 1 mile ban has any hope, though it would clear the lobster pots from close to the beaches.

I keep my boat at Wareham, which although tidal is fresh water, I applied black International Interspeed Ultra with white Trilux to the outdrive and boot topping in June 2005. I've just brought the boat home after 3 years afloat and all it had on the hull and outdrive was a thin coat of slime. As for anodes, I've got zinc ones fitted which go black in fresh water and don't really do much but I've not noticed any corrosion so I'm not worried. I've been told that magnesium anodes are recommended for fresh water, but as I use the boat in salt water they probably wouldn't last five minutes.

Looks like you'll need a shovel rather than a scrapper!!

"The Range" Turbary Retail Park, Ringwood Road, Poole. were doing these when I was in there a few weeks ago.

When you consider that Poole is the second largest natural harbour in the world, it's got to be worst as far as slipways and other facilities. Poole council would obviously rather provide holiday homes for London Yuppies, than launch facilities for locals. I'll get back in my box now!!!

He was fishing from the beach, nursery area only applies to fishing from any vessel.

Cycling along Holes Bay today, there was a chap fishing so I stopped to ask if he had any luck? "Yes", he said, then pointed to a pile of fish in the long grass, there must have been about 8 bass, the largest just over 12" the smallest about 5". I (tactfully) pointed out that they were all undersize, he didn't appear to know there is such a thing as a minimum size for taking, just that they would taste nice. Perhaps we should suggest that Southern Sea Fisheries pay for a couple of signs that show the minimum sizes. Might be worth having one by the sipway at Baiter as well.

I'm obviously not an "Angler", as the definition includes the words 'Catching Fish'.

Derek I haven't received an Email.

Derek I've got a 9ft tender, that I used to use when I was on the trots at Rockley. It certainly fits your criteria of "Nothing new or too posh". It could do with a clean up. I think it's worth

That's good.

Thanks. I've left a message on his answerphone, hopefully he'll call soon.

Does anyone have a phone number for Sam Tricket?

Son-in-law is looking for an OMC single lever contol for his 50hp Evinrude VRO, as his is worn out. Any suggestions as to where is the best place to try?

Dorset glass quoted me

As it has been ok, the first think I would do is check the antenna connections.

I haven't got indicators, so can't really comment on them. I don't really need to know where the trim tabs are, I always adjust for best ride/performance.

He was 6 years old, he caught about 10, he unhooked 8 himself and put them all back, he wouldn't let me touch them.

Swanage, just passed the lifeboat slip, float fish close in, with small hooks and small ragworm, wrasse guaranteed. Grandson fishing there Location Result

Surley it depends on your display settings not whether you've got widescreen or not.

Not really, you can end up with the prop trying to lift the stern, rather than parralel to the direction of travel, which is not the most efficient. There's a picture here explaining what I mean Bennetts If you're worried about room to position them ask here I supplied him with a photo and dimensions of the stern.
