Leicester Fisheagle Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Fisheagle will be venturing forth, hopefully on Saturday and Sunday. May try the Bay for a Plaice or if very luck a Trigger. Will be on Ch 6. Nothing too strenuous. Saturday is a bit more serious as Coddy is on board. On Sunday, my Brother in Law, who does a bit of fishing is coming out to see what is involved in lauching/anchoring. We will be doing some fishing but, he is a keen photographer and will be taking some pictures with his expensive new toy. If any Club Members see us and want a free photo of their boat, please give us a call on Ch 6 and we will see what we can do. Allan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fox Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hope to repair Frisky's throttle mechanism now I have a replacement cable clamp, and join up thew new throttle cable today, and be out tomorrow - probably staying inshore until am happy with it. 3 cables in 4 years isn't good, and the Morse lever mechanism was replaced 4 years ago. Might be a design fault in the routing or something, this shouldn't keep happening.. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher 126 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Mike If you need any clamps, screws, ball joints, brackets etc I have a fairly wide range from when I repaired boats. Lots of morse fittings etc. I would suspect the routing as long as the inner cable is in line with the anchor point and outer cable. Does it snap in the same place every time, if so that should tell you something? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi Chris, Thanks for the offer, I think I do have parts I need. I'm still surprised the securing bracket for the cable has fractured - I'd never have expected that much of a load on it. The cable snapped at the junction between the cable inner and stainless connector rod at the morse lever end. It all looks vertical and inline there, and I can't see a routing problem anywhere in the system. Think it happened in the same place once before too. Thanks again, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
