Smoggy

If redoing switches I had some surrounds done fairly cheaply from drawing via fleabay. Top right and bottom right.

When I can, not now till easter as someone else has my boat to refurb the windows, but come spring (and windows) hopefully every couple of weeks. Do I need a stairlft fitting?

"Zimmerboats" would likely be a viable business plan.

It was actually for a water tap, been on newcastle brown all weekend, went for a wee and all I got was a why aye.

If I told you I'd have to shoot you...

If you read this Richard your tap fitting is under your canopy side, spotted you moored at church fen but not on board. Cheers for the loan.

If you don't want to fit more switches how about the instrument switch to nav lights and instruments from ignition live so they come on with engine, that's how I did mine. Being a twin I used a couple of diodes and a relay to a fuse box so either engine turns on depth and engine bay fan without cross feeding and they still have seperate fuses.

Use it for a season before you spend too much, once you've done that you're requirements will likely change.

Say Hi to Tolly for us.

Oh yes! Be careful with any cheap leccy conversion stuff MM as a lot of folk have been engulfed in fireballs, I know nowt about swytch so may be fine, the stuff off ebay and the like is best avoided or charged well away from the boat.

I doubt aquafibre hulls are cored so you should have no issues with in hull, the usual trick is to epoxy a plastic tube to the inside offset from the keel enough to not try to look through it and insert the transducer and half fill with oil or antifreeze to keep any air out of the gap, they "see" straight through solid grp very acurately, you can silicon them to the hull but you must get any air bubbles out of the gap. make sure you mount the tube upright, angle the tube bottom to match the hull. The reason they don't work with cored hulls is the different materials and air if foam is used in the core, they don't work with any air under them as the ping won't travel through it. In hull is by far the easiest and cleanest way to go.

Boat wiring is easy, use all black cables and remember to not label anything, route it as inaccessible as possible through the mankiest spaces you can barely find or reach. Spread fuses out throughout the boat but whatever you do don't take any notes about where they are as you'll never forget. Most secure connections are done by twisting the cables together and loosely wrapping a bit of cheap wilko insulation tape around, best done in the bilge. P.s. don't follow this advice.

Boat gets dropped off at swancraft on sunday for the job, I hope you're on commission OBB. Measuring up and quote/estimate has all gone very quickly, NOT normal for norfolk! As long as glass supplier doesn't take too long should be sorted for easter and have all matching glass and no perspex in the cabin.

Do they allow dogs in the caxton club and what's the secret to being a non member? We always make the walk to butchers arms when in beccles, a proper pub.

Like this?

Enjoy your new boat, and make Ian proud with plenty of meanderings!

If you're anywhere near the ferryhouse Friday or Saturday say hi or give snowbird a wave.

How long are you darn sarf for?

Hosting can be fairly cheap and the likes of wordpress makes updating content pretty quick and easy I believe. I'm another that "don't do faceache", I have a login but nothing on it that relates to me and I just can't be bothered with it.

Langley dyke? Or hardly dyke if there is availability.

They are going to fit a plughole.

It's not the boat he wants the money for, it's his bar tab! Ale Taster, St.Neots.

In all fairness the Egyptian cream stout is just as good...

You git!
