with the little swell and waves rushing over the groyne it was like goin thru the sound, had it on its side near lost it wen waves came from boths sides tho!

i would get that kind of swell over the jetty in port erin bay, going to have to try that now

Looks very impressive riding the swell! Takes a brave man to put her in those conditions, don't think I would dare! I might have a go at making some working trawl nets, you've inspired me. With my luck they'll probably end up tangled in the prop though!

manx venture · « **Reply #143 on:** September 08, 2011, 09:06:43 PM »

go for it, its good fun, bit arkward with 2 nets but 1 is very easy, aslong as there further enough away from the boat they shudnt go in the prop

Hi manx venture
great pics especially with the nets out ,
could you tell me what motor and battery set you have please .
i have the same model and installed the speed 900 from slipway but its to fast on 12v (and the speed controller gets warm) and not quite enough on 6v ( unless i have faulty 6v batteries)
cheers spud

manx venture · « **Reply #145 on:** September 09, 2011, 04:12:47 PM »

running of a numax 12volt battery and the slipway 900 motor and viper 20 mtronixs speed controller, had i up n running near a year and no problems, good fun with the nets out, gets boring just sailing it round and round!

spud · « **Reply #146 on:** September 09, 2011, 10:36:10 PM »

Hi Manx venture
thanks for the info ,
just a bit more if you don't mind
i also use a viper but a 25 amp model which does get warm (on 12v), have you notice of your speed con gets warm / hot after running at slow speeds??
cheers
spud

Thanks for the compliments Mick, we're all here to help each other. We never stop learning and if I can help anyone along the way Im happy to do so. I've been helped lots and have picked up lots of helpful advice on here. I'll be down Warwick with Our Lass 2 on the AT Boatyard stand, maybe see some Mayhemers down there, Dave.

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #154 on:** October 12, 2011, 01:01:04 PM »

hauling the nets in on the net drums then trying it in the pond. this is the Deans marine ready built version, we just put lights and winches etc. in it.

What do dust bunnies, carpet mites, escaped garden peas fetch on the open market these days??!

... did you actually catch any?

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #157 on:** October 12, 2011, 03:13:29 PM »

yeah filled both nets full of pond weed! bulk of about 30 boxexs of fish in both nets haha, not bad for a 5 minute tow

Very good, given me a few ideas too! Dave.

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #160 on:** October 12, 2011, 05:51:14 PM »

should have said patent pending hahaha could of made some money ah well, i'll stick to fishing. the motors that drive all 3 winches and both net drums are radar motors, cant remember the company that we got them from but when i find out i'l put it up on here.

Spook · « **Reply #161 on:** October 13, 2011, 05:51:28 PM »

Bloomin 'eck! that's clever! Were you after dogfish or catfish in the indoor pics?

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #162 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:04:39 PM »

unfortunately the shalona sank in kings lynn fishing fleet

Cam Watterson · « **Reply #164 on:** October 19, 2011, 09:36:45 PM »

was everyone alright?

trawlerman2 · « **Reply #165 on:** November 20, 2011, 12:46:14 AM »

know one was injured she broke her head rope when the dock was flushing the fleet she rolled over will be broken up now shame cause she was a cracking litttle boat

trawlerman2 · « **Reply #166 on:** January 02, 2012, 10:22:26 PM »

now trying to salvage the shalona will be a hard task laying at 45 degrees and full of silt if we get her back she will be converted to beam trawl for brown shrimps

coastie · « **Reply #167 on:** February 20, 2013, 11:18:26 AM »

Can I ask what you used for the nets and also have you got any close ups on how you rigged the otterboards

few pics of mine finished, got the trawl doors and a scale net that works, (see pic of my other model st.amant) to fit and a few finishing touches and shes ready for the water, fitted an extra hatch forrad of the origanl for more accsess

nice spread on the net , port board look a bit dodgy , watch out you don't hook up on that shity bottom might loose the gear LOL
