Doesn't Claymore keep a rock very close by?

May I ask what controller you use/intend to use? We use Schneider PLC's and HMI's (controllers and touchscreens) and I have often thought of rigging up a returned one but there are so few electrical things on my '80s Fulmar it is not worth the effort!

If your NOB deteriorates, you are left with a MAB

That's Great a'tuin, but the elephants appear to have fallen off.

Not sure how you would test the anodes, but if you are concerned there may be no anode left and are not going anywhere you could hang an additional one or two over the side on a wire electrically connected to the hull. We used to do this on an aluminium race boat I worked on, permanent anodes...

Unfortunately not, however have you tried WOA (Westerly Owners Accn) they have a large knowledgebase of useful information.

My first thought was the trawler was at Eyemouth, which would tie with st abbs

I'm glad I am not the only one! The second hand book sellers must have wondered what was going on. Again, did not find it matched my humour. Michael Greene's effort I read time and again.

I was intrigued to see the inflated dinghies on deck, had they inflated them for fear of sinking or had they never deflated them following departure?

Could try disconnecting one of the terminals of the engine battery and see what happens? Edit. Not with the engine running but see if it still kicks over.

As usual, the Navy does not know if it is coming or going.

Fully charged? Think of the weight of all those electrons.

If the genny is not connected to the hull there will be no pd as there is no circuit, there can only be a pd across the conductors of the genny?

If the speedboat sunk, how did they manage to get it onto the beach?

Slight thread drift. Anyone else think of tubes of squeezy cheese whenever they read Primula Seaway?
