finny

I'm presuming they are from China and being a brand snob i would have knocked something like this in the past - but not no more ,i have a Stil chainsaw that decided to call it a day in the carburetor department ,my local expert wanted best part of 70 quid to replace i found on Amazon a replacement that suited for less than a tenner - it came i fitted first pull it was away .......anyway at that kind of money i think you have just uncovered the first throw away outboard - i would buy should i be needing one finny

I have a licence to drive most things on our roads Robin - its all about practice and having the right frame of mind ,it will be a tough week but well worth it finny

most insurers will also take a boat yard report which comes much cheaper than a survey finny

Thanks for sharing with us - very enjoyable finny

you could have just as a good time on one of Rico's bathtubs - and with the money saved its overpriced bangers and mash around finny

Hi Lucy welcome to the forum - iam afraid the only advice i can give is .......Enjoy finny

proper butchers bangers n mash in a big yorkshire pudding is £ 7-99 in my local and its all good and proper ,now whilst expecting to pay a tad more in an area that relies on seasonal trade there is a limit i will pay and £13 is day light robbery -they shot themselves in the foot long term finny

I dont think its a case of ignoring a review - i just think the best review for yourself is your own - bahhhh far the best finny

We all have differing opinions on what is good or bad when it comes to eating and drinking out , I personally never take any note of anything said on the forum on such matters - Never been a sheep and if someone is prepared to make a decision based on someone's opinion well so be it personally I think Its rather sad finny

i never would have thought that - quite the opposite actually .....i take it the dog is the skipper finny

A very enjoyable thread thanks Peter .....one question - i notice a few of the boats have a quite large crews would that be a normal in a racing situation ? finny

Spill kits are great for getting you out of a mess ,there is some great advice on different things to use ,i.e cat litter which works a wonder but removing the cat litter itself is job and half and its not just fuel leaks .before i changed the oil filter housing to a spin type on i used to find a constant weep which used to drive me insane -the simple answer all round to manage the problem before i could modify was to leave a mop up square pad under the problem they are available in all sizes and would be are a great thing thing ( Timbo close your eyes ) to put on a Christmas prezzie list oh and set of rubber gloves on your stocking filler list finny

There are enough strange creatures on the forum ..............so they would fit in well here finny

correct and I suggest you go back and read my reply to your question ........btw I thought the photo in your reply was an insult also very inappropriate all things considered - but then again some people are just plain stupid or very rude enough said bye bye finny

i normally don't bother to throw my two penneth in unless Iam in a position to offer help and after finding myself excuse the pun (in the same boat ) I did funnily enough and over the years I found myself saying " here we go " and low and behold .........it didn't take long after I press the post button ? Lastdraft I hope you find a solution to your problem .....personally i would keep it to yourself .........that's unless of course you don't mind the forum padantcs who really don't offer anything to your smelly problem or contribute anything positive finny

The diesel has been removed and disposed of in the correct manner we are talking about the smell and perhaps any slight residual trace treated via designed detergent cleaners that break it down before going down any drain finny

Same thing happened to us only it was the return to the tank not connected properly on a new tank installation and it absolutely stunk heres what I did I turned off the bilge pump and flooded the bilge with river water and dropped a full bottle of bilge cleaner down and the left for a good few hours ( I would have preferred overnight but time was an issue) I then went to the pump out station on our yard and got them to drop the pump out down and suck it out - it's not right to discharge in the system I then did the same again but this time only I dropped a full bottle of fairy washing up liquid down . Washing up liquid disperses diesel ( ask any yard they will soon have a chap in a row boat at the first sign of a slick ) I then took the boat out to work the washing up liquid into the nooks and crannies of the bilge on return get the pump out pipe to then suck it all away again - by this time the smell was only distant the next step involved a kettle a bucket and a nice smelling fabric conditioner ( I prefer Comfort ) 2 x buckets of very hot water with a good cup of comfort in each then dropped in the bilge ( bilge pump still off ) the hot water will push a nice smell through out the boat I left mine overnight , my shower at the time drained in the bilge and and did not switch on the pump until one of us had a shower to clear it worked for us - so good luck finny

Deep condolences to you and the family Martin finny

Beautiful lines .........Now that's a proper good looking boat finny

Opps quite go to plan .......anyway what a great looking boat any info ? finny

It's normal where we live to say to bar staff - one for yourself when paying for a round of drinks ...they take 20p pot it and share at the end of the shift , can't remember which broads pub but I did say - and one for yourself and the young lady behind the bar said ...oh thanks very much I will have a double brandy then .......I couldn't stop laughing,which she also couldn't understand - perhaps it's was just a northern thing finny

Thanks for the warm up Pauline .............Iam taking my lot to the very same place the week after next .............and it's a real national park finny

Indeed so .........but I also like to drink in peace first thing .......so I leave mrs finny in the pit ................I usually wake when I want my second cup finny

I don't pay any attention to forum critics when it comes to eating on the broads and people often forget that they are Pubs selling food and no more finny
