I saw on a Facebook page that a company is offering to simply dangle an anode in the water on a wire and connect it to the boat's bonding system. Problem solved, no lift needed.
It is, I was working there on WednesdayDoes anyone know if Hamble point MDL is open for professional works. As no reply to emails. Feels like they’ve locked up shop having taken our money !
I don’t think you will find that is correct, Where is your evidence of this occurring?? Something you heard and just couldn’t wait to post!
I’m sure as a berth holder, if I could be lifted and chose to do so I could pay for it myself and get any applicable discount, and as such I could also instruct an engineer to change my anodes etc.... for which I would pay the engineer for doing so, as per normal.
No company carrying out work on a customers boat will want to pay for the lift out , why would a business take on the risk of a customer not paying them!
Or
I could also choose not to be lifted.

The anodes on whisper will last 2 years easy perhaps even more .Do people leave their anodes on so long that an extra couple of months risks damage?
Maybe I'm the only one who changes anodes when there's probably a years life left.

The anodes on Volvo folding props typically last six months or so.
Diesel bug is certainly an issue, and will get worse over time, I believe that higher FAME content will also make this worse, hopefully most red diesel is currently FAME free.....I have recently hear that diesel may go off and be a problem in the tanks, although most use an additive I am not sure if marine diesel will go off.
Some of the modern common rail systems are fussy on fuel anyway, so this might be a problem.. The last thing we need is injector issues as that if it goes wrong means serious engine repair costs.
Does anyone know ?
6 months would really suck, I wasn't expecting motorboats to have folding props though.
I use a photo of Bruce k , to keep the gulls off .Well....as of today we are allowed out for non essential reasons with social distancing. Ive never seen so many power washers on the pontoon!

no doubt you’ll all have the same joys to come. I’m sure the shitehawks eat superglue! The red is blood ??? not mine though.
dont think we will be allowed out to sea just yet but at least I can potter. Hopefully they will let us out in Manx waters only at some point. Can’t see our borders being open anytime soon.

No one has got near D and R , excellent customer serviceWhilst MDL seem to running a masterclass in how not to do it.
Yes they are, I’m not so sure Quays would of done the same.
I did get a bill for hire of boat stands for April though, a tad cheeky I thought as it’s not like I had a choice, hopefully be able to get her back in the water soon though.
