Drying out

[twinkeels]

Hi,
Iam looking for a suitable place on the river Crouch to dry out a bilge keel for a bottom scrub and prop clean. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Bridgemarsh Marina in Althorne, just further up river from Burnham.

I agree with TomK. Bridgemarsh Marina. They charge £20 (free if you are a berthholder) to use the scrubbing posts which have a large timber base to rest on and fresh water tap (bring your own 25m hose) onthe adjacent pontoon., same distance to a 16a power supply (pay extra for what you use). I use these posts often and with a 1m draft get about 5 hours of work time.

Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated. I'll give them a call and arrange to go down there. Iam just up in North Fambridge so not far to go.
