Yes, it's a sad aspect of our modern society that we even have to consider such things as having our outboards stolen. A friend of mine ran a pub, and he had to stop putting scent blocks in the urinal trough as every night they were stolen 😳. My Tohatsu Sail Pro has been great, a litre per hour at f...

All good advice David and Ian. The last thing we want is to wish we had secure fittings when we are in a spot of bother. Your comment David about securing anchor is really important for offshore or bar crossing, disaster waiting to happen if it should come free in a knockdown. I'll read your posts a...

Hello Frenchy ( Fritz and Louren ), a cordial welcome from me too. I usually get to spend a fair bit of time in WA, Bunbury area.

Regards, Bill

David may be a gourmet cook but I'm certainly not, and survive perfectly well with a single burner butane stove for a week at a time. I usually have to use stove inside cabin, even a small amount of wind makes them unusable in cockp...

Thanks Franklin, yes a great forum. Dad said " money doesn't make you happy" I don't have any money so I'm very happy. I love the humour behind so many posts and the willingness to help each other. Another freebie that I have available for any forum contributer is an original rudder that a...
