    Doogee rugged tablets?

    I had a Doogee S60 lite rugged phone which spent 30 minutes in the harbour (about 2 mtrs) and came out all working OK. It spent a hard life being dropped and banged about on a farm but lasted 4/5 yrs before I changed it for a Doogee S97 pro just to get the thermal camera (which also works very well)

    Atlantic Crossing - the biggest dilemma, what shall I buy them for Christmas that will be useful?

    Speaking of which, someone on here advised a Lantana 2 in 1 Safety/Smooth Edge Tin Can Opener & Bottle Opener - Black/Stainless Steel to me. Bestest I've ever used, no sharp edges, lasted ages and you can pop the top of the can back on if you want.

    Any ideas as to why diesel engine wont rev past 2000RPMS`s?

    The fix here is hearsay, a sealine I test drove had a similar problem in Gosport and it turned out to be a return fuel line blockage.

    Beneteau 12v issue

    Hi Dave, are you saying that you measured 13.5v at the pump before switching on, or was it measured at the switch panel? How is the black tank pump switched and where is the switch? Nigel

    Beneteau 12v issue

    Hi Dave, a couple of questions. Has this pump got a float switch and/or a direct on/off? Where are you measuring the voltages and putting the probes? Nigel

    Sleep or the lack of it.

    I find that audio books help. It draws my brain into picturing the situation of the story and away from anything else. When I review to where I can remember the place I got up to, it's usually less than 15 minutes after I started although the book kept on playing. One full story takes a long...
