great white

Hi guys has anyone any experience or info about these a friend of mine has called me to say he is looking at an advert for one with 80HP merc all replies will be appreciated Charlie

Our day went a bit wrong, after a nice early start, the engine cut back as we throttled up outside the harbour The fuel problem is not quite sorted yet, but I was aware that we may need to change the filter head and lift pump assembly. An engineer was going to get me it from Bosch rather than Volvo. Anyway we apologised to Dave and changed our plans. trouble is we never seemed to get wind, tide and fishing linked up Lots of Dogs Mackerel smooth smoothies but not a lot of Rays. In fact only one, a nice Undulate to Dan of 14lb 8oz Dan also had a fit looking bass that went 4lb 12oz, and swam off strongly. We had a good look at the fuel system and the boat was then running a bit better.🙂 At 1500 our 7 hrs was up and we headed in. Great to have Dan and Chrissie onboard for the first time this year. They have had a very busy 2018.

Please add Alfresco to the list. Myself Dan and Chrissie. Saturday for us 🙂🙂

Glad to hear that your boat is coming together, not much time to the Boat show.

Clear as Mud.... AGAIN

Sounds great Terry Well done

Sam is away this weekend so we cannot join in, but we may pop over to Cobbs in the afternoon to say Hi. What time is the prize giving?

I had a Wilson Flyer 18 and took the windows out when painting they were a bugger to get out and in , even after buying the proper tool to insert the spreader insert. So I definitely think yours has been changed to an alternating material and probably thinner. From the photo it also looks very big probably larger than original.

and me

Sounds great Jim Fun in the sun

Ian Simpson !!!

Starting to see this logic Jerry. I have good ones and very good ones that were bought on or for holidays. Where they get limited use over a short period of time. I get home clean polish and oil them up before drying and putting them away Then for the rest of the year I use old or cheaper ones Except for the size and weight of the offshore reels this defies logic

GO FISHING, SOON

As a non Marine Engineer you have done a great Job mate. WELL DONE YOU. I am one and feel justified to make that comment, I simply do not have time to take on these type of tasks any more, but know from past experience how difficult and time consuming it can be. Having saved a Yamaha 60 2 stroke with knackered main bearings, I hope that yours runs as well as that one did after all the work required.

If you have room I would not skimp on the length, if the tide or wind gets strong you may need to let a bit more warp out. 100m of 10mm would be my recommendation, should stow in one of those soft buckets if you coil it in neatly, then a decent 5 mtr length of 6mm chain on top

Thanks Jim better get some more doombar in. I have a copy of that studio and had a few goes with it when I got back from Ascension after using Dan's Go Pro. trouble is it doesn't seem to like the ones from my camera, specifically the trimming tool does not seem to be active in the bottom left corner of the main screen

Thanks Rob It seems to be as good as the Go Pro borrowed off Dan for previous holidays Have it set at 720 and the battery seems to last at least 3 times longer as well. Plus the viewing screen is mega useful Rob can you move this bit to another thread as I do not want to go so far off an important original topic [ Sorry Mal ] but I would like to pick brains on editing options Charlie

I bought a copy of a Go Pro last year for my holiday. It is a Gulaki 4K It came with attachments and even remote control for wrist on/off. All contained in a small case and has spare battery. fits onto all the usual mounts It is 4K quality, better battery life than a go pro and cost less than £60.00 The wrist remote did not survive a dunking in NZ and I cannot get it replaced, so I am tempted to get another complete set Wish I knew how to edit the videos, so any advice would be appreciated

Welcome to the Club Please join in with all the banter and fire away with any questions Charlie

Been seeing a lot of these out there in recent weeks

good news just a wire joint pulled on the capstan, easy fix after work as it cools down a bit.

Out at the weekend in deep water , I decided to try the lighter anchor with the thinner much longer chain [8mm but 15 to 20 metres long] even in 70 metres of water it held well but it was flat calm which always helps. Damn capstan stopped working so Alderney ring up and recover by hand. Hot work in yesterdays weather.
