  1. Hi Ian, We used Flag antifoul on Folly's Pride, when we took her out of the water last year there was still antifoul on the hull and no fouling to speak of, I will be using it agaig this time. Robin.
  2. Hi, We have used carpet on the roof and some walls on our boat for the last 20 years with no problem, we stick the carpet to the roof about a foot at a time leaving about 2 inch all round for final fittine and fixing when all the roof has been stuck, dont worry about any overspray onto the walls as it will wipe off with white spirit. Robin.
  3. Evening, try these people they are the main agente for Mecury outboards ,http://www.mercurymarine.co.uk/main.php Robin
  4. Evening all, this looks like a Water Gypsy like this one on Craig's site http://www.horning.org.uk/boatsearch.ph ... current=no Robin.
  5. Hi, yes the large tank is the hydraqulic tank I think that they run on ATF ( automatic transmission fluid, you could give Richardsons a ring as they used to have a number of these in there fleet they called them Broadland Tango. Hope this helps, Robin
  6. Hi Have a look here for parts for Mercruiser bits http://www.mercruiserengines.co.uk/main.php they are just down the road from me in Bicester.
  7. Hi, I think this might be the simple answer but have you given Richardsons a ring, if it was one of theres then they will be able to tell you the colour and make. Robin.
  8. Hi, if you are going to use ply then use WBP ply, it stands for water and boil proof, and uses the same resin as marine ply but might have voids in the inter layers can be full of resin. Hope this helps, Robin.
  9. I was always told in a 4 cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder you always used the count of 9, that is when no 1 valve is fully opened you set no 8 no 2 open set no 7 and so on, by open I mean the valve is open. Hopes this helps, Robin
  10. Evening all, One tip that was given to me was if you wanted a blue antifoul then put a coat of red on first then 2 coats of the blue, then, when you see the red you know that its time to recoat but you still have a coat of antifoul there. Robin

  13. Hi Sue and me were on that barge on Saturday and yes its only on the broads for the winter, they are on there way home down to Plymouth, it was built by Sagar Marine in Brighouse and was launched under 12 months ago. Yes it has a "girly"switch, thats a bow thruster, Robin.
