Great Kitchen alan_fincher

Great to See this video

hey i know somebody in australia whose rwnted there boats?

Fish eating depends on your taste. I will prefer with soft and moist skin fish to eat.

Hey Jo its a very bad news.

LIGHTING THE STOVE Check that the burner pot is free of oil, see safety precautions. Fill the fuel tank with oil and open the tank cock and the safety fuel valve. The control indicator of on the regulator should be set to Pilot. Open the top of the stove and drop a lit match down into the bottom of the burner pot. If mentholated spirit is used this should be poured directly into the burner pot approx. 5 cc. and a lighted match thrown down into it. Close the top of the stove and wait 5-10 minutes, the time it takes for the stove to heat up and set light to the fuel oil. The control indicator can then be turned to the required from Pilot to 9 on the scale. Remember to start the circulating pump if the stove is coupled to a central heating unit...”

how was your fishing trip daztheman

To go magnet fishing you only need two things: 1-A magnet with some kind of hole in it. 2-A rope as strong as the weight the magnet can hold. The Magnets You need a strong magnet you are able to attach the rope to. It either has to have a hole in it or some kind of eye like the ones in the pictures. The ones I have are from www.supermagnete.com I have a little one and large one. The little one is Pot magnet with eyelet OTN-40 It is able to lift approximately 55 kg / 121 lbs and weighs 110 grams I comes with an metal eye you can attach to the magnet using the threads. The large one is Pot magnet with hook FTN-63 This one is able to lift approximately 110 kg / 242 lbs and weighs 270 grams The difference between this and the little magnet is that this one comes with a metal hook instead of a metal eye. But as you can see in the pictures I was able to bend the metal into an eye in a vice. The Rope Depending on the magnet you have you need some rope. First time I was fishing with small magnets I used fishing line which had a tensile / breaking strength of 6 kg. But if you have a 110 kg strong magnet, a fishing line is useless in the fight of a heavy object, unless it is a really strong line!!! The white rope you can see on the picture is just a normal clothesline. and up to this day I haven't caught anything which caused it to break. The black and orange rope you see is Paracord. It is a nylon rope used for parachuting. It has a minimum tensile / breaking strength of 550 lbs ~ 250 kg. It has a core of 7 strands which makes it extremely strong and durable. I bought 2 x 100 ft on Ebay from this guy here. But as you can see i have divided the orange rope into 2 x 50 ft because I often fish in shallow waters. The colors doesn't matter at all, but i think the orange rope is easier to find if it breaks at you have to dive into the water to retrieve your magnet.

rudder and tiller A rudder on a boat is a flat piece of wood or other material attached to the boat’s stern (back end). It is positioned vertically in the water and is moved to the left or right in order to steer the boat through the water. A tiller is used instead of a steering wheel on small boats; the tiller is a stick or pole attached directly to the top of the rudder so that the helmsman can turn the rudder easily. So, the tiller is the stick that controls the rudder.

Which boat you are using for your tour?

Steer In The Centre Of The Canal, Pass Oncoming Boats On The Right. Boats pass left side to left side, the opposite way to on the roads in the UK. However if there are no boats coming towards you then keep in the middle of the canal, the water will usually be deeper there. Avoid cutting corners, the inside of a bend is where the canal is shallowest and you stand most chance of grounding, or at least losing control. If you do go aground try reversing off rather than trying to force your way forwards through the mud.

LIGHTING THE STOVE Check that the burner pot is free of oil, see safety precautions. Fill the fuel tank with oil and open the tank cock and the safety fuel valve. The control indicator of on the regulator should be set to Pilot. Open the top of the stove and drop a lit match* down into the bottom of the burner pot. If mentholated spirit is used this should be poured directly into the burner pot approx. 5 cc. and a lighted match thrown down into it. Close the top of the stove and wait 5-10 minutes, the time it takes for the stove to heat up and set light to the fuel oil. The control indicator can then be turned to the required from Pilot to 9 on the scale. Remember to start the circulating pump if the stove is coupled to a central heating unit...” * I’ve heard that some people use a small cube of solid BBQ fire starter on a piece of coat hanger wire, instead of a match.

Casting off, cruising and tying up Setting off Start the engine, keep it in neutral and allow a few minutes for it to warm up before you move off. Untie the front and back mooring ropes from the bank, but leave them tied to the boat, coiled and ready for use. On rivers, untie the downstream rope first. Make sure your ropes can’t trail in the water and get caught in the propeller. Don’t forget to stow the mooring stakes and hammer. Because the boat steers from the back, you can’t drive away from the bank as in a car. Check the area is clear of boat traffic then push the boat away from the bank so you can make a clean get away, with your propeller in deep water. In shallow water, push the back of the boat out, then reverse away until there’s room to straighten up. Slowing down and stopping Because boats don’t have brakes, you need to give yourself plenty of time to stop – especially when travelling downstream on flowing waters. Ease off the throttle, move into neutral and then use short bursts in reverse gear to slow down and come to a final halt. Remember that it’s extremely difficult to steer when you’re in reverse gear. You may need an occasional forward boost to get better control. Steering Steering a boat with a wheel is like steering a car, but it’s more difficult to judge where your wheel should be for going straight ahead. Get to know the feel of the wheel and the rudder position before you set off. Using a tiller to steer is simple – as long as you remember that pushing to the right will make the boat head left and vice versa. Be patient and plan ahead – the boat will take a few seconds to respond. Your boat pivots from a point about halfway along its length. That means you need to watch out for the front and the back. If you line up the front only and then try to turn into a narrow gap – a bridge or lock, for example – you risk hitting the side with the back of your boat.

An effective troubleshooting tool will always begin with the question, "When did this start?" If the problem has only suddenly appeared, it is likely to have a different cause than a similar problem that has been developing over time. It is also fairly obvious that a sudden appearance of the problem is probably caused by a sudden change in the condition that created the problem. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that such a problem can be attributed to normal wear and tear. It is much more probable that an inappropriate action has been initiated. It can be argued that the exception to that concept is where wear gradually takes place until the point at which failure suddenly occurs. In this case, however, the wear is usually indicated by a gradual reduction in performance until the breaking point is reached, which provides some prior notification of imminent failure. This type of condition underscores the need for constant performance measurement as it relates to temperature, pressure, flow, vibration and power draw.

REFLEKS boat heaters and stoves have been developed specially for voyaging at sea. They and all their accessories are made of rust-free stainless steel; in the exhaust region, of acid-resistant stainless steel. The burner bowls are made of precision steel. All heaters are fitted with a proven marine oil regulator, which ensures faultless performance to 15°of heel and a high level of safety. More than 100,000 quality REFLEKS oil heaters have proven themselves for decades on fishing boats and other craft in Scandinavia and worldwide. These oil heaters and stoves require no electricity, are easy to install, produce no smoke and give off a comfortable warmth.

A Recreational boating is a favourite pastime in Canada with between seven and nine million people enjoying Canadian waterways each year. Sadly, not every boating excursion is a return trip: Over 200 boating fatalities occur each year along with an estimated 6,000 non-fatal accidents – most of them preventable. The general public and pleasure boaters had expressed concern that anyone of any age could operate a watercraft without having any prior boating experience. The Pleasure Craft Operator Card regulations are an attempt to reduce the number of boating related accidents & fatalities. The goal of the program is to encourage boaters to evaluate their capabilities and limits, to prepare themselves adequately before heading out, and to be responsible on the water.

WEARING YOUR LIFE JACKET Boaters enjoy the feel of sun and spray. So it’s tempting to boat without wearing a life jacket – especially on nice days. But modern life jackets are available in a wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Many are thin and flexible. Some are built right into fishing vests or hunter coats. Others are inflatable compact as a scarf or fanny pack until they hit water, when they automatically fill with air. There’s no excuse not to wear a life jacket on the water!

Safe Boating Tips safety tips No matter how much experience you have, it’s always a good idea for everyone to review boating safety rules before departures. Below you will find 10 basic boating safety tips to help you stay safe: Be Weather-Wise Always check local weather conditions before departure; TV and radio forecasts can be a good source of information. If you notice darkening clouds, volatile and rough changing winds or sudden drops in temperature, play it safe by getting off the water. Follow a Pre-Departure Checklist Proper boating safety includes being prepared for any possibility on the water. Following a pre-departure checklist is the best way to make sure no boating safety rules or precautions have been overlooked or forgotten. Use Common Sense One of the most important parts of boating safety is to use your common sense. This means operating at a safe speed at all times (especially in crowded areas), staying alert at all times and steering clear of large vessels and watercraft that can be restricted in their ability to stop or turn. Also, be respectful of buoys and other navigational aids, all of which have been placed there to ensure your own safety. Designate an Assistant Skipper Make sure more than one person on board is familiar with all aspects of your boat’s handling, operations, and general boating safety. If the primary navigator is injured or incapacitated in any way, it’s important to make sure someone else can follow the proper boating safety rules to get everyone else back to shore.

hi friends I am new on this forum and I don't have much experience in boating a Can any one give me tips
