Hi,

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 1987 Shetland Kestrel please?
Hope you can help!

Cheers Paul.

Hi, Shetland Kestrel.

Has anyone had the same problem as me?
Most of all the cupboards and panels have discoloured slightly with a whiteish colour. I wondered what's the best way to get rid of this. Tried normal washing up liquid doesn't do it - still there. I was thinking of a compound of some ...

If you do go the route of BSS without a cooker, and then refit it once the inspector is walking back to their car, who has the right to refuse your certificate once it has been issued? Only a certified inspector, or possibly a fire officer, is certified to say whether your boat is safe or not, and ...

Sorry for the double post. Corrected spelling and it hung, tried again and posted both! Any idea how to delete a post?
Thanks for reply Clive. To delete post, (as you sent it) look just above your post on righthand side above the date next to the speach marks 66 (as I call them) there is a pen ...

This is all red tape to me!

Thanks Dave,
Yes I thought I'd get lots of answer's on this one.
I don't think nobody knows, including me! What do they have fixed in there? Think I'll try and call the boat examiner up and ask what is correct extinguisher? It doesn't say on the safety advice, Just what they are.

Like you say, I ...

Hi,
Does any one know what type of fire extinguisher should be used for cooker?
Powder or water? For boat cert.
Thanks Paul.

Hi all, 1987 Shetland Kestrel


I have to re-strap the battery box secure strap, and I have done this with the black plastic buckle connectors for ease of access. Are these ok and acceptable for the boat examination?

Also had a new fuel tank and there is no strap holder bar that screws onto the ...

Depends on your electrical setup. If you have more stuff like fish finder, GPS etc etc (I have 5 units) you should go for marine battery. Its built to keep all your devices running just only on battery and will still has power to start your outboard at any time. Hope it helps :)


Thanks for your ...
