  1. Smashing looking little bike that Steve!
  2. Dave, does the striker 7 even support active captain?
  3. Good to hear you got out Steve , shame on the lack of Tope though. Any reason for them not being home you reckon? Too many mackerel maybe?
  4. It's not all bad, I mean for the money this year I got a 10m piece of floating wood to moor up to, an electrical hook up and two water taps, one of which doesn't work. Oh and Wi-Fi that doesn't give Wi-Fi. And as a bonus gift a warm can of yuppie larger!! Bargain!
  5. Jeez you are my hero Jon.!! Sounds like an amazing dive though!
  6. Is there space available there though? Don't know what your area is like but Round here on the Solent the marinas etc are all rammed, with waiting times for berths!
  7. Yep as @JDP says, maybe a local fishing club with a compound and slipway. Or failing that a caravan storage yard?
  8. Not sure if this will help, but this is the manual for my old autopilot system. It had a section about reprogramming the fluxgate. Probably not the same model but may give you some hints?? http://geonav.kgk.ee/autopilots/AP201/man201_ENG.pdf
  9. Having just googled that model I'd say they would make a great inshore lure fishing boat. But I wouldn't want to take it far from land!
  10. I just bought one from eBay . I made sure it was German though!
  11. @RogB my drive is very steep. I used to keep a 19ft fletcher speed boat on it. No way would my car get it up there . So I bought a 12v remote winch and bolted it to the floor. That way I could unhook the trailer and winch up the hill whilst being allowed to move around the trailer and boat making direction changes if needed. Could you not bolt a winch to your garage floor??
  12. Don't get the Gerry can out of the boot. That way the garage won't see what you are doing. I used to fil 4 x 20ltr cans no problem .
  13. No, the fluxgate compass is normally positioned away from any electronics or metallic objects. Mine is in the forward compartment of the bilge. It doesn't look like a regular compass though as in there are no degrees or visible numbers etc, just a black box.
  14. It probably fell out of the bigger one!!
  15. So where is my recognition @Andy135?? You've kissed arse on all other catch reports butt mine!! Or are you just too amazed at my brilliance that you can't bring yourself to congratulate me?
  16. Yes, this happens in the Solent too. And it's never forecast. So radar is great to have on stand by.
