Odyssey

I’ve not used one…. I’m on NSE12… had a play with NSS12 but still prefer the NSE…. I don’t think I’m the only one to want to stick with old stuff. Speaking to the rep he said not much difference but touchscreen etc, he even said he preferred the NSE over NSS….

Simrad NSX 16…. Bush bash bosh job done 😉

Something nice about the wake behind you on the way home 🙂

Don’t want to speak too soon…. But hopefully a trip offshore in Saturday to get my season started….

How much to post to the U.K. 🤔🤣

I’ve found the Simrad technical support to be excellent 😉 As for relief shading… I don’t bother… too much hassle, Sonar Charts from Navionkcs and sounder and I’m away

Awww 🥰 great post and great to hear he’s settling in 🙂 I’m sure he’ll soon have you under the paw 🐾 😆😆😆😆🐶🐶🐶🐶

Varnish works but you need more coats, 2 part resin works well too, it’s pretty cheap, try Blakdog Tackle he’s reasonably priced.

Right im saving up these excuses 😉

@GPSguru is human! 😯😯😯😯 well done for trying and admitting you’re a mortal like the rest of us 😂😂😂🙄

I’ve used a beach rod where the guides were held on by insulation tape, just tape them on with lots of turns and it’ll hold them in place no problem, cheap and cheerful 😁

Nice cod 🙂 Nice boat too!

He’s a top bloke 🙂

There is a factory yes, I used to walk the dog around there, explains why there were so many dog 💩 bins 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And take biscuits for hungry spaniels 🙄

I agree… but I had 2 plotters and my GPS puck failed so I had my back up GPS from my AIS transponder on the network take over. A new puck was ££££ so I got a 2nd hand Simrad unit to add to my network for less money than a new NEMA2K puck… that had an inbuilt GPS…. I fixed the old puck but only after I had fitted my 2nd hand MFD…. So now it looks like star ship enterprise 🤣🤣 but I’ve got 3 MFDs, 3 GPS inputs hence my comments about relying on electronics. However, even with Radar and an AIS transponder and a full radar reflector I don’t head out in fog… If fog comes done I can get home. Obvioouaky electronics can fail, just as my spaniel can eat a paper chart… so it’s all about risk management..

Exactly… drive to conditions

If I lose power I’ve lost engine… 3 plotters, 3 GPS inputs, radar, compass and depth can give me a good position if I don’t have GPS. It’s all about risk. Manual plotting is a useful skill but no way you can update a course at 20knts while dodging pot buoys/WAFIs who aren’t keeping a look out as too busy looking at bits of paper down below…

Love it!

Andy says his bass in the picture came from there, but no mention that he caught it…. Just saying…. 😉

Nice fishing 🙂 Plenty of fish in the channel now the hounds have arrived 🙂
