I recently changed my diesel fuel hoses as I changed to Racor filters, mounting them in a different location on the boat so changed the hoses at the same time. I assume the hoses were original as the previous owner of 20 years did not mention replacement or supply an invoice with replacement of...

Lots of options out there these days other than Victron. Clayton power as an example of an all in one unit... LPS II 3000 - 2 kWh | 240V & 12V Lithium Power Supply - Clayton Power

Petrol available from the harbour side in St Mary's. Sibleys are the supplier. Be prepared for £2 - £2.25 a litre though.

Did you decide to continue with your cruise?

I'm looking for a Trunnion Mount for a Raymarine Element 12s if anyone has one that they don't need?

Is the 805 you've seen in Spain a particularly good one? I'm looking at 805 and 925's at the moment. Lots here for sale.

Anyone want to go 1/4 shares :-)

I like the look of the seamark 550. I had thought about a Rib also. There are only the 2 of us, myself and my wife. She is fully inboard with the idea having been on plenty of Rib trips, most recently to Sark. Won't be passengers as this is a boat for us on our holidays.

Outboard preferably, cabin not a deal breaker. Trailer again not a deal breaker. I'm hoping to be able to leave it in Jersey when we are back at home.

Hi I'm Dom and just registered on here. Done my PB level 2 course and looking to make a purchase... Bit of background.... We spend a lot of time on Jersey. I'm looking for a boat that will be suitable for leisure use around Jersey and for trips to Les Ecrehous/Sark/Les Minquires etc. Not...
