Re: kill cord

we had to fiddle with our last one on the 535 but found a flat headed screw driver was of use, which I kept close by in case the thing was ever pulled down in error to quickly push the switch back on! hope this helps, Dee

Re: Group outing / flotilla June 2013

Hi Paul, would love to but will depend on family commitments, how my broken ankle is, dogs, work etc etc., keep us in the loop but as things stand at the moment it is probably more unlikely :cry: than likely, cheers, Dee and Martin

Re: Nauticover or Shetland

Totally agree, Phil sorted us out with our old canopy for both our 535 and the 570, he and his team are extremely helpful, very reasonable and provide an excellent customer service, can't recommend them enough, by all means mention 'Dee' and the Shetland owners site... Good luck with sorting your ...

Re: Shetland 610

As Sue says it is all a balancing game, Sue and Rog live on the south coast, we live in Mid Wales, we have both spent a lot of time trailering together over the last few years, they are very lucky living where they do so close to water, we end up as water gypsies trailering all over the place, but ...

Re: Shetland 610

We changed 2 years ago from a 535 to a 570 and were also looking at 610's, we are trailer boaters and have been all over from the lakes to the Solent to various rivers including the Thames. We eventually decided that we would go with the 570 from a towing point of view as many of the roads we tow on ...

Re: Shetland 32 Inlander

You thinking of changing Sue? :shock: Looks very smart, not sure about how it would cope with the Solent, does it come with a trailer? Certainly very roomy,......

But engine service has now been rebooked (should have been the weekend of the snow) so currently now due on Windermerevthe first week of May, last ...

Re: ideal car for toeing and launching a 570

We towed a 535 very happily with Honda CRV's mk 1 and 2, we have towed our 570 with CRV' mk 3 a shogun 3.5 petrol, a mitsubishi pickup and currently a Mercedes saloon 3.5 diesel which performs wonderfully, in all instances regardless of the vehicle when necessary we use a rope extension from trailer ...

Re: What licence and Boat Checks

No problem, happy to help if we can, what I also should mention is that there was an amazing amount of flotsam from bread baskets, trees to pallets, much of which was partially submerged so you do need to keep our wits about you. Also the waves on the Thames can be every bit as 'lively' as the ...
