SHETLAND OWNERS ASSOCIATION

Hallo Paul, Many thanks for your splendid reply. I have just checked my instructions for my motor, a Honda BF 45A. In there it say´s " use at least a 70Ah starter battery" Connected is only a 36Ah :o no idea why. I plan to do weekend or weekly run outs in the summer. (The advantage being a pensioner ...

Was starting to get bored with this lockdown, so took it out on the boat, and want to get her refurbished for the spring and summer.I´ll keep you posted, but at the same time I have loads of questions, and need the help of you Shetland lovers, and many thanks in advance.

1. The Accu Trim unit was ...

Hi, do I see what I think I see?. Is that the foam that was under the floor?. I have that in my 570 as well.

Hallo David, boat looks lovely, the photo with you sitting inside and everything being blue arround looks as though you´re sitting in a Sub. I´ll be starting a refit this year on my 570. Will keep the forum posted, as I have a lot, a very lot of things to do.

Hi Tom, thanks for the info. Any idea why they put foam down there, sounds a bit silly to me, and just hope it doesn´t get wet somehow. Not being able to "Go Below" is a pain as I plan to run lots of new cables in the spring. (Lighting,Stereo,12V. Sockets and more) Sean

I think that they might have just played with the colours at Shetland, I´ve the same colours as yours, just the other way arround.

Hi Olddurro,
Just bought a 570 myself a couple of months back. Maybe I´m wrong with this, but isn´t the 570 filled with some sought of foam?? I havent found any way down under to fit a bilge except at the stern. Any answers to this would also interest me. Greetings from the German North Sea. Sean

Well, here I am again with a very simple question, where do you put the toilet on your boat, is it chemical or is it sea . Would love pictures and answers as it's a part of the plans for my 570. Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hi, I'm also new here, bought a 570 last month, and also wondering about where to place a bilge pump, just a little space in the hull at the end and under the outboard. I believe to have read that the boat is filled with foam and is a sealed unit.

Moin, and hallo from Ostfriesland on the German North sea coast to all Shetland Owners.
Have just bought my first boat, a Shetland 570 with the number 3058, which leads to my first question, is this possible, if so which year is Emma?. I thought the 570 was built to number 3000.
Anyway, the motor is ...
