    As said above, the date of manufacture is stamped in the transom top left or right, think mine was left. Fantastic boats, had years of fun from mine.

    Rat on board suggestions please

    Why on earth would you want to do either of those things! If they need dispatching because they are a pest quickly and without suffering!

    Cherry pickers

    Something suitable should cost you about £120 for the day, you should have your IPAF ticket to prove your competent. It is not a legal requirement but the problem with not having one is how your would prove you were competent if someone got hurt or you damaged something? We use A1 Hire and...

    Plotters - Cockpit or Chart Table?

    C80 at the Helm, I find it incredibly useful when single handing or with novice crew. Lowrence at the chart table for plotting / backup.

    Eberspacher Exhaust Silencer Installation

    They do and it should be mounted on said rubber mount. Do you have copper pipe connected directly to the pump? I removed and added a short loop of plastic at each side and the tick noise vanished. It seems most of it was structure born and transmitted by the copper. I don't think you can do...

    Poor Service from Ultraleds.com

    Was a shame to see this thread got activated again, I had hoped the customer service side would have improved by now!
