Yellow Penguin look after my Suzuki for me and I'm very happy with them.

Hi Dave Glad you got it sorted without having to spend a fortune.

Charlie I wasn't having a pop at you, I'm just surprised there isn't a proper poster available with all the necessary info. There should also be some sort of sign along Holes Bay showing the minimum sizes. As I mentioned a while ago I saw a chap fishing there and he had a pile of bass (probably about 15) on the ground and the biggest was about 12" long. When I mentioned that they were all under the legal size, he claimed he didn't know there was such a thing.

Understood. My point is, as Charlie suggested it should be displayed at Marinas and sliplays, I felt it was lacking vital information.

Agreed but if these posters are going to be displayed, they should have all the information on them. i.e. Dates and minimum sizes. Otherwise a nursery area sounds a productive place to fish!!!!

It's not very good, it just tells people that there is bass nursery area and where it is. No mention that it's illegal to catch bass in the nursery area between 30th April and 1st November, from any boat.

Hi Dave I've sent a pm.

Dave I've tested it and it's all working well, I'll give it a clean up and see what you think. If want to take a look at it and see it working (and have a coffee), give me a call, or I can bring it along on Thursday, it won't break the bank.

Dave I might be able to help with a fixed VHF. I've got an old (hence pre DSC) and tatty Seavoice RT550, as far as I know it's all working well, I'll test it tomorrow and let you know. As can be seen from the photo, it needs a bit of a clean up.

I'm getting

Might be a blast around the harbour then.

The forecast looks good for Monday, might have to give the boat a run. Is there anything about?

That would be good, a clubhouse, slipway and compound. That was a nice dream, I'd better get back to reality

The change to the flow pattern could even cause Patchins Point to disappear.

I wonder how long the "New Beach" will last, or the small bay east of Hamworthy Park. It looks as though any current will now bypass it and it'll silt up.

Have you loked here? Boats And Outboards

Happy Birthday Paul

I think there could be a problem with the festoon type, as the LED equivalent does't radiate light in a continuous arc. There have been a few threads on WSF on this subject, if I can find them I'll post a link.

Steve What sort of light is it? To keep the current down some bulbs can be replaced with LED's, although they're not cheap. Ultra LED's

Fishfinder and GPS won't draw much current, but the pump will probably be the problem. What type of pump is it, need to know the max current and how long it's likely to run?

Happy Birthday Tom.

Happy Birthday Mark.

Any deck fittings in the area? Like: Pullpit, Cleat, Anchor locker hinges, Bollard etc.

Thanks, everyone.

As Rob said, is it seawater or fresh? If fresh: Do you have a fresh water tank onboard? If yes, could it be overfull and the motion of the boat causing it to come out of the breather?
