It would appear a visitor has damaged my boat,not a lot, but the rubbing strike has been ripped off and the ally u channel it sits in is damaged. No note or call to the Marina office. NOT amused!!!. CCTV hasn't caught anything unfortunately. Marina were excellent attending immediately and tried...

Is it possible to change the transducer only removing it from the fairing and replacing with a new one.My speed reading has failed.The paddle wheel rotates but no reading on the c90w. OR, is it possible to just change the insert, as I have a doc. that implies that there is another type of insert...

I have have tried a 780 and 1080 camera left over from our cctv ist. Neither worked properly just showing multiple lines/ undistiguishable images.Tried auto,4.3 and 16.9 in the menu but no better or worse. Have I missed something or do I have to have Raymarine cameras. I know the longevity of...

Normal (19.5k) sits at 2950rpm ish & now 14k sits a t around 2600 & increasing throttle(WOT) get may...

Looking to go from Crouch to Blackwater Saturday & back Sunday in MoBo drawing 1m & the wind is in the east. Is this going to be a bit choppy ? & is 2 hrs b4 top a bit early. Will use TG chartlet on the 1 degree line hopefully Comments appreciated. Thanks

Any recommendations South Essex?

Had a nice picnic on the shell bank & set me wondering about moving our boat to the marina.It would mean an extra 14 miles from the house but we've been on the Crouch for a while now & maybe a change for next year would be nice.Afraid its only got an engine! Hope that won't black ball me!!!.

Water comes in but small leaver wont go across to pump into tank and piston handle wont push down .do I need to put a repair kit on also wondering because incoming water from crouch is full of weed wondering if it could have blocked pump valves. Lots of algae comes in with incoming water as well

I know its a bit wet but 60.3 knots on the M3 going north! I think someone forgot to switch their AIS off!!!

After 2 years of ownership I finally plucked up the courage to reverse our boat into its berth.Single shaft & a bow thruster. What was the problem---went smooth as clockwork. Tide was running a bit ( we are moored in a river for/aft with the current) with us in reverse but I had plenty of...

There must be about 20 'Tall Ships' going up the Thames --as per AIS. Wonder if they are going into West India Docks with the Super Yachts

Looking at AIS 2 (Ilona & Seanna)already there & 3rd (Sea Bluez)on its way up the Thames. Capt. Robert Bleecke of M/Y Sea Bluez "they are building a mini Riviera right in the heart (sort of) of Ye Goode Olde London Town" for the Olympics Alright for sum!:p
