Boat descriptions Must admit a couple of years ago when looking to purchase I got to the stage of phoning and actually asking what was the condition of the boat. A lot actually went from being immaculate to needing lots of TLC (maybe they just didn't want to sell to me?). But I appreciated the...

Volvo Paul is in your area (when he gets back) so if it makes you feel better get them done as its only a small amount to pay for peace of mind. Check oil/coolant levels and if your not going far let it last until the beginning of next season? the choice is yours but I do suspect we will (surely...

I would definitely point you in the direction of Knots in the marina especially for their Friday fish chips and peas special. I also like Torksey for their T bone steak at the White Swan but you will be coming by there on your way to Farndon? Gunthorpe can be stunning though...

definitely agree, can't believe people want them even though they do not work:D Still someones pocket gets lined for giving the go ahead Nick Heath

I can certainly understand her having any boat she wanted, they are not small dogs and the chances of me lifting one out of a boat are about zilch unless I wanted to put my back out. My Uncle used to breed them but I always considered my Dobe far easier to train:D Nick Heath

did'nt click until you mentioned Powles, then I knew the boat straight away I'll remember next time Andy:D Nick Heath

I think I must need educating, in my train of thought knowing that each lead (plate) acid battery cell produces 2.2 volts at full charge, I would have thought that a deep cycle battery is one with thicker lead plates that don't distort so easily when getting hot due to producing more current as...

engine servicing going to get a bit of fuel through the tanks Paul then wanting another service on mine in a couple of months please sir:D

will definitely say get volvoPaul, your lucky to be so close Nick Heath

ICOM reset Just type in ICOM RESET in google and you will find several pages on how to do the factory reset on loads of radios, just look up your model number. Did both my Radios in no time :eek: hope this helps Nick Heath there is a way round everything, some...

if I remember correctly the MMSI stays with the vessel (I did have to get a new one for mine though because I didn't know it and the powers that be had lost the original), you program your MMSI into the radio (if it says its full they tell you to send it off to do a factory reset but just google...
