JSC Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Thank You for allowing me to join the NBN, which is clearly an invaluable knowledge-base for an absolute novice like me. Okay as an ex RN Submariner, I am okay with knots, my ‘Port’ from my ‘Starboard’, part of ship terminology and I have mech & elect technical abilities. However, we did have tugs to bring us along side and not too many vessels to collide with, many hundreds of metres below the ocean! Consequently, berthing in the confines of our marina IS my biggest challenge at windy Oulton Broad In my seemingly flat bottomed ‘belligerent’ Shetland 4Plus2 😬😂🤣 I have also studied inside out my Tohatsu 30hp outboard manual, got the service kits and tools - but eek! …it looks as tho I have to lift my new boat out of the water, just to change the lower oil sump 🤔 to comply with the service requirement 🙄 [apparently, the outboard needs to be ‘down’ - vertical, in order to drain and refill…!]?? So much to learn, but this, like needing to have a love of washing seagull poo off my boat, …is for me the fun of boating! Kindest regards all! JSC. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floydraser Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Welcome JSC, it sounds like you'll fit in well here. I have no experience of submarines but my old phone has; it's currently on a long term secret mission under my boat in the marina. I'm hoping it'll surface soon but I'm not holding my breath. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
