Aye mark thats true, mind you I always use epoxy as Chris said, but it`s a one way ticket, if it ever does not work then you`ll never get if off (in one piece )

In the good old days, (circa 1987, Alaska 500 etc) I used to use \'Plasic Padding\', green colour \'type elastic\', or the harder grey worked best but removals had to be a very carfull process. Seem to remember Lowrance used to supply a sachet of the grey pp as standard, not sure about now though?

These days, the only way for me is \'throght the hull\'? Big boats means thick hulls, especialy the Cygnus 35 that I am waiting for ! ! Soon be here, last week in June??? The past 6 months have been so frustrating I think I have been fishing 3 times since December, and not to be able to get out now The bass and smoothounds have come in big time, looks like being a good year? There are some big cod with the bass on the off shore banks (25 miles)

Need to be patient, \'dont spoil the ship . . . etc\'. I need a month anti foul, anodes and generaly check her out. So this summer will be very low key, most trips will be close to home whilst getting used to the handling of what is effctivly a comercial fishing boat minus the nets, plus a large trawler yacht style wheel house/cabin. September/October we get some large double figure bass off shore, I shall give them a go, along with early cod and some very big channel whiting.

Hope you guys had the good weather we (Felixstowe) had yesterday (Sun) SW wind force 2 or less. The boats went miles off. Looking out the window, looks like today is not bad either.

You are right Norman, should have done it sooner!!!

update:

I think I found the world\'s first tube of non-set silicon

been there a fortnight, and apart from a thin skin on top of it the stuff is as soft as when it came out of the tube

I was tempted to leave it and see If I could break a certain lifering drying time record, but figured there might be trees growing in the cockpit by the time it hardens

hard cash and Sikkaflex seems to have done the trick
