jonnyswamp Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 Having been couped up for what feels like weeks, it seems that looking at my recent ebay purchases, I've made a few 6 way fuse box New 60 amp battery cable and terminals (+ and-) and heat shrink (had cable given to me) 6 and 8 oz ball weight mold Pack of coloured chain markers New insulated smock (not my fault the old one got binned) 2 pairs of braid scissors (ultra sharp, yeah righto) 500m 30lb braid Some led replacement bulbs for nav lights New anchor light (nasa marine, bloody expensive) A pair of sprung bait tools (quite handy really) Another pair of stainless, rail mounted rod holders I need to stop, cos apart from the battery cables etc, not much else was really needed What have you bought lately Andy135 1 Quote
Andy135 Posted December 13, 2020 Posted December 13, 2020 My last boat purchases were a couple of weeks ago. Bought a BEP 6 gang switch panel, a Lowrance Point 1 GPS & electronic compass module, and a stainless VHF aerial mount. Also have a Suzuki engine data harness on order so I can get all the engine data to display on the old HDS8 in my dash. JonC and jonnyswamp 2 Quote

And a red abu 7000 second hand on the week. I have a lot of time for the Ugly Stiks 👍 Quote
jonnyswamp Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 I forgot, I also bought a new unused Daiwa slosh 30, and a Shimano torium 16 which was returned to seller 😆 And a Garmin g3 vision card Andy135 1 Quote

Last one I bought the fishmonger skinned it and cut it up into strips for me. Nice tough bait. Quote

Last one I bought the fishmonger skinned it and cut it up into strips for me. Nice tough bait. I have them whole (they are very big), I got 20kg direct from a boat earlier this year. Vac packed and froze them straight away. For prep I do nothing except defrost, cut off a strip or use the head/guts, I like to keep it as natural as possible. Quite often use 4-6 Squid with a large strip of Cuttle wrapped half round it, Keeps a bait down even if the Whiting are nibbling away at it in the vain hope a Cod may find it. Congers love it as well Saintly Fish 1 Quote
