  1. Hi all! I'm buying a new propeller and will likely be using Michigan Marine as the supplier. One issue though - they've suggested a different size prop than beta marine, the engine manufacture. They have recommended 16x9 while beta are saying 16x12. Has anyone else had something like this happen? What was the outcome? Thanks!
  2. I'm signing up for my first Smarty SIM today, and noticed they have a month free if you refer someone. Anyone want to refer me for a free month?
  3. Thanks for this - Craig Allen has told me he's a bit busy this year. I'm also a little nervous of Ian Jennings as I know he has a relationship with the brokerage.
  4. I've just paid the deposit on a boat in Rugby and am looking for a surveyor - but most of the ones I've seen recommended on here have retired and I'm struggling to find one. I'm considering Michael Clarke, but I've heard mixed things about him so I'm not sure who to go with. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
  5. I need to be able to take a train to work once every 3 weeks for a day. So as long as I can moor near a station once every three weeks, I'm golden on that front. I'm not hugely flexible timing wise though, so I think winter might be a bit more challenging. I'd love to, but unfortunately I don't own any of my equipment. I'd need my managers go ahead before changing any of it out.
  6. Thank you for clarifying. Would that be possible to do on a leisure basis or would it have to be residential?
  7. So as long as I'm willing to run the engine for 4+ hours a day when not hooked up to shore power, it's doable with a desktop? Yay! I'll get myself a wall meter to see what the power sink of my setup is. Any advice on what to look for in the electrical set ups of whatever boat I get to make it as easy as possible?
  8. Could the problem also be theoretically solved by running the engine with the props disengaged for a time while working, if I wasn't near anyone else/ connected to shore power? When do winter moorings go on sale/ do they tend to be very expensive? I saw some in band one were out of my budget a bit. I could try band 4/5 but I do need to be reasonably close to a train station as I don't drive.
  9. Thank you! That's great for the internet, and I can sort myself out from there. Any thoughts about the power draw from the desktop/ monitors?
  10. Hi all, I'm new to boating and am currently getting my ducks in a row before I buy my first one. My biggest hurdle is that I work from home and rely heavily on the use of wifi and my desktop and monitor set up. It's possible that I might be able to get work to replace these with a laptop, but there's no real way to tell. Due to cost concerns (and also the want of a bit of adventure) I'm unlikely to end up with mooring, and will almost definitely be a continuous cruiser. I don't really use any other electronics except for my phone - no toaster, electric kettle, hair stuff, etc. Can I do this? How should I go about setting myself up? I was planning on getting an uninterrupted power source for my computer to help function as an extra battery, but I really don't want to have to be running my engine non stop. Thoughts?
