Keeley marine no longer - mast step

Just saw on fb that keeley marine are finished. They set the mast fittings that the investigator use.

Someone is selling their inventory, if you have some spare coin it’s worth trying to pickup what you or others may need in the future.

Re: Steering (Magnetic) Compass

Thanks Andrew.

I’ve been wanting to fit a compas to my boat and was wading through all that is available. I think the Silva looks the goods.


How does the illumination kit work? Is that installed to the inside of the outside. Couldn’t see it in the manual.

Re: Marauder 24

Is it just me or does the mast look oversized?

Got a pic of how it looks?

I was thinking of using the clear vhb, under a dark grey Perspex. My windows are over 2m long(single piece covering multiple windows).

Windows

I’m trying my hardest to find a previous topic on window replacement. Someone even made templates and a silhouette edge to hide the trim.

Thoughts… links?

Re: Does the year of manufacture make much difference?

Fathom road on a 1985 trailer. I’d always presumed it was the original selling date for the boat and trailer.
