I have been looking for a solution for the small shelf below the control panel. Due to the boat rocking, especially when boarding the boat/when rushing about, I needed a rail fitting to stop objects falling off it. The solution was to obtain some sort of rail, but, sourcing it proved difficult. In the end I bought two brass handles and fitted them adjacent to the shelf - works ok and stops my dab radio falling off - one broke recently.

Fishy business
Randomly, i decided to buy a fishing licence - gives me an excuse to visit the boat now that most of the jobs are done. Here are a couple of my catches - mostly skimmers but a couple of perch and a nice roach. I think most of the big fish i.e. the carp, tend to stay in the marina nearby.

More exhaust work
Carefully unwrapped the upper exhaust bandage and as I suspected the upper exhaust was broken as the lower exhaust. I bought another fixed repair clamp and fitted it - sorted for now. Unable to source a flexible pipe.
On a positive note the boat started ok, the cable to the solenoid was loose and is now secure and the starter looks fairly new.
