It's a spare thoughtfully provided by Ferretti. There are 2 boathooks on deck, stored on port and starboard side decks. If we were to lose one, always a possibility with some of the guests I have on board, then we could replace it immediately. You use a boathook pretty much every time you moor stern to in the Med to handle bow lines so its an essential piece of kit
I lick these mothers clean every morning. MAN V12 diesels
M, as you already know, I think your F630 is indeed a great vessel, but I must say that fitting AC-only lights in the e/r without connecting them to an inverter (hence requiring either shore power or genset to turn them on) isn't up to Ferretti reputation....
There are also 24V lights around the engine room as well which actually are perfectly adequate. The 220V fluorescent lights are a nice to have rather than essential and I often forget to switch them on anyway. Having said this, you can have as many lights as you want over the top of the engines but you still can't see easily under the engines and into the dark corners so I tend to have a torch with me as well when I go down there. Maybe Lumishore should introduce some under-engine lights which could be fitted on the inside of the hull facing upwards
I expect that jfm is going to tell us he's got these already
Ops, I didn't remember that, and posted my comment just after reading your previous one...
Doh! How could I not think about it?

Thanks and yes that's the one ... bought her in 1991 and was my day-to-day car for nearly 15 years... these days she is spending most of the time in a dry garage after I spent a small fortune (and loads of time) restoring her to her former glory....
I went from these great sounding but 'thirstier than Ireland' lumps (7.4l V8 350HP)
To these far more frugal diesels
