Anything you did, drove it, broke it, fixed it or improved it!
Post up.

Hi 9-Ŕ
Went out in my Honwave 3.5ae and got it wet for the 1st time in 2016.
A few hours fishing and another few hours bombing around.
Tried out my fixed DSC GPS Vhf radio.
It doesn't even compare to my handheld.
I had both running simultaneously.
The fixed set was picking up radio traffic that the handheld was oblivious to.
Also noted the fixed on low power still outperformed the handheld on high power.
Very pleased with the mod.
Also tried out my new bilge pump which was also a suck-cessful.
Very happy camper

I am glad the VHF works a treat :-)
I've done nothing to my boat for ages. Just looking at Keel Guards to day.

I'm sorting my anchor out so I can use it properly.

Had large storms come through so went out to check and make sure everything was alright. Glad to see the cover held with no pools of water.

One of my launch wheels had gone all stiff.
I stripped it down and re-greased it up. I was surprised to see there are no bearings in it.

I bought them from this site

Checked the oil level and re-gapped the spark plugs. Hopefully good to go for this weekend.

Went out to play for a couple of hours today....!
Bit lumpy, but good fun.
