Hi All, I have what appears to be a sllic antifoul applied to my prop and outdrive, another boat owner confirmed this. It feels almost like a plastic coating. However it has worn off in a number of places so the outdrive and prop need re doing. I have been told I can recoat it over the old stuff...

Okay thanks everybody, your opinions have really helped me decide as there is so much out there it can be very confusing, but to receive advice from other forum members is invaluable (the YBW forum can be a real asset). Decision made, I have ordered the Oukitel tablet and will download Navionics.

Thanks all, @Scarron - the Orca app looks good and have downloaded their free app on my phone to have a mess about with. So I think I will for for a cheaper (Galaxy) tablet with cellular and GPS and then decide Orca or Navionics,

thanks all, still no luck in getting an engineer to say yes or even come and look, C-line said no, thanks Thalassa76 will give them a call. @martin j - yes the anchor drops freely

Hi all, I am looking to get a tablet/laptop to use as an updated navigational aid to my rather old raymarine chart plotter. What tablet/laptop would you recommend within a reasonable budget of say £500 What App would you recommend, Navionics/ savvy navvy or any other? Cruising ground would...

Thanks everybody, I am on the sealine forum and asked the same questions, seems like the anchor windlass wiring was included in the original wiring loom which I have now located, perhaps this may get a more encouraging response from engineers. I understand this is an awkward job for anyone...

I am looking to get an electric anchor winch on my Sealine S23. So far, I have tried 7 engineers with no result, one completely disinterested, two are too busy, two did not turn up to have a look when they said they would and two had a look but have not heard back from them. I have chased all of...

Made it back from Swanwick to Chi Marina yesterday, the only decent weather/wind window for a few weeks ! The boat performs well, around 20 to 23 knots averaged, needs a scrub so not bad. Trim tabs were not too responsive, may need looking at, few jobs to do and a generally good clean and valet...

As the title of my posts say I am the proud new owner of a Sealine S23, would appreciate contact with other owners in Chichester marina to get any tips and advice. I do have a few questions. Due in chi on Friday from Swanwick weather permitting. I have employed a professional skipper to bring...

Thanks for all your tips and advice, pleased to say I found a good example and picked her up today.

Hi All Been boat less for 18 months or so and am now looking buying a Sealine 23, some viewings set up for next week. Any tips on what to look out for? Any known faults etc? They all seem to have same engine Volvo KAD32 , from the pictures I have seen just a case of which one has been best...

Not been back on the forum for a while, needless to say the engineers eventually got to have a look after about three months later (considering the boat is about 100 yards away from their office suspect they had to plan in advance !!), their comment was "nothing wrong with the throttle!" So my...

Going to investigate myself !!

Thanks am going to do that ! cannot wait any longer !

Thanks, they were my thoughts initially, but alas nobody does anything for nothing and I suspect as other comments that have been made they have no real obligation to me as I am not the original customer, will be asking someone else if I cannot fix myself , now been waiting over 5 weeks for...
