Where is the best place to get oil filters? I

If anyone would like to park a car and/or a trailer at my school free of charge. Just put a note in the windscreen with my name on it. I

Not that there are many about, but if you buy a second hand DCS that has a already got an MMSI number entered. The radio would need to be returned to the manufacturer to have the memory reset, before a new MMSI could be programmed in.

My Orkney has a Mercruiser engine not a Volvo, I don

It may be the tyre pressures that are causing the swaying. Also when under load different makes and types of tyre will heat up at different rates and affect the pressures even more. If the brakes have been binding on one side that would also generate a lot of heat.

There are 3 other slips in the Weymouth area:- 1. Ferry bridge (on the way to Portland where you cross the Fleet) 2. Castletown (on Portland behind the SAR helicopter base 3. Bowleze cove ( the East end of Weymouth bay) Not sure about charges or if you have to pay a Portland port day licence for No 1 & 2

I had similar problems with my Navman. There is no

Kinfgisher marine on Weymouth harbour side stock it, only in white though!

You may have a problem with your battery. If it gets too hot the plates can bend, this will cause it to discharge quickly and cause it to heat up even more when charged next time. If it is possible, remove the filler tops and WITH GOGGLES ON look into the cells when the starter running. A bent cell will bubble as long as some charge remains in the battery. If it does I

Thanks for the welcome. My boat is arriving this Thursday Dec 16th and I

The guide with the chart symbols in is

To establish if your system is using power when everything is shut down. Disconnect the negative battery connection and put a small wattage bulb between the battery terminal and the disconnected negative connection. If the bulb is on you are drawing power, as long as you battery has some life in it.

This is taken from a divers guide "Dive Dorset" Everleigh 50 29.3ON; 01 47.1OW. The Everleigh is a large British steamship and became one of the last casualties of World War Two, sunk by a German torpedo fired by U?1017 on 6 February, 1945, when bound from London to New York. She measured 40611 with a beam of 56ft and was a massive 5,222 gross tons. She was built in 1930 and still has plenty of her brass fittings. The wreck is owned by a Swanage man who purchased her in about 1970 from her original owners. Although for a long period she was regularly worked for scrap, and before that was partly dispersed by the Navy, she is still a big wreck and an excellent dive. The sea bed depth is 43m, but the wreck stands up, at her highest, 11m off the sea bed. One reason why she remains so high is the solid rock bed. When built, the ship was fitted out with a very large three?cylinder triple expansion engine capable of an output of 527hp. It is the area of her engine and boiler plant, situated just aft of midships, that has borne the brunt of the salvage operations, other sections of the ship remaining virtually intact. A 4in gun had been fitted, so somewhere are some nice 4in brass shell cases. She lies east?west on her port side, the bows facing east. Boats: Poole 14 miles, Swanage 14 miles.
