There's no registration for these things so no way really to trace the owner. I'm surprised you found it on coastline unless someone came ashore in their dinghy and lost it. They are short range devices so not much traffic. Channel 16 is the distress and calling channel and that probably has the most traffic other than that it's probably of no use to you. Mainly used as a method of calling marinas and such from a boat or used as a safety radio for a kayaker/canoeist. I would suggest you take it to a local marina they will try to find the owner or at least put it to good use. Rob

@@Pensionersdoaboat: Hi,Rob. Many thanks for your swift response, and the valuable information you've provided. As you suggest, I'll take it over to our local Marina. Pete.

I don't have it 'on' full time. I check it six to seven times a week but it's in movement detection mode otherwise. It will send an alert if someone gets very close to the boat. It's only gone off once and that was a plastic bag being blown around deck. (not mine) I have a sim only deal from ID Mobile which gives me 8gb for £6 per month. I do have an 80gb per month sim from them which I have in my phone and that's £10 per month with unlimited texts and calls. I don't actually know how much data the camera uses but it has never been an issue, battery life on the camera would be stressed at full time viewing. I'm making a boat battery monitor system using Arduino which will report fluctations in voltage back to my phone via the wifi. Now that will test the data usage. Rob

@@Pensionersdoaboat ee do a 120gb preloaded data card for £60 i was going to get that as its for a year , no contract , i imagine the modem for wifi would use a bit

ID mobile is a one month contract so I use that. The modem shouldn't consume data unless something acceses it.

Hopefully more to come. The weather has been so bad when we have had the time to go down it's not been worth it.

What is that grey boat to the right of your boat in the video? Your sailboat looks much more loved.

@@orileymcspadden9116 I believe it was mentioned in one of their first videos - if memory serves me right it’s abandoned & in a right state.

Not sure which you mean. The boat to starboard is a long term project by a chap on a motorcyle who comes down when he can. It's actually useable compared to how it was. He continues a bit at a time. The boat to port is now derelict really. I mentioned it in the hull painting video. It belongs to the house right in front of it. It's for sale. The tale is someone came along and bought it for pennies on condition he did it up. He removed the vintage engine and took it away for 'refubishment'. Then one night all the bronze portholes and fittings dissappeared. Needless to say he wasn't seen again. It has various openings to sea where planks have parted and it doesn't float BUT it makes a nice handy platform for us to put things on whilst we are working.

She's there but in the background watching that I do it right !

Glad it was helpful!

We have had various setbacks, not least the atrocious weather. Rain, rain, rain. I planned with a friend a suitable date, tide, weather forecast in order to get a sail in BUT complete weather change overnight with high winds and heavy rain. Next opportunity is in July. Meanwhile we are going to continue with the restoration painting.

Glad I could help

I have just bought mine from marine super store best vhf I have ever had

I do like Icom equipment it is so well made.

Amazing for the money

Thank you! Will do! Haven't finished yet so perhaps a few more videos

I hope so too! A few videos left in us yet. Weather will play a big part.

Thanks. We both realised how much we have aged lately. Covid was really bad at our age and has left us somewhat drained.

@@Pensionersdoaboat I retired last July. I worked in schools & had Covid a couple of times. Pretty sure it screwed me over & left me with long Covid. Not been the same since. Good luck to you both, hope Lynn gets her knees fixed.

Thanks. We are looking at various options for the boat. I've just paid the mooring till 2025 so some works etc will continue unless it sells. Covid is a long term thing after the initial sickness. It leaves you weak for months, I see the official time given is 12 weeks to be free of symptoms. It's the change in taste buds that I hated most, so many wasted meals. Lynn is ok, we are going on a weeks road trip to the Isle of Wight so will try to film some of it.

I'll do what I can. These are the main components required, there's various sundries required like cables etc. If I did it again I woud use the next size down battery to starter cables. I went too large at 16mm sq, cable 10mm sq is fine. ebay items : Ignition switch - 703-82510-43-00 Ignition Switch for Yamaha Outboard Main Key Remote Control Box - sold by parserda Starter solenoid 12 V STARTER SOLENOID RELAY 6G1-81941-10 FOR YAMAHA OUTBOARD 6-90 HP - sold by king-auto-zone Starter mounting bracket - 61772-0194Aluminium Stay For Outboard Motor 25hp 61T 69P - sold by homedecorlover Amazon for starter motor : OEG Parts PPEU18310N Starter Compatible With Yamaha Mercury Mariner Replaces S108-80 S108-80A S108-80B S108-80BN 689-81800-11 689-81800-11-00 689-8180 Rob

with solenoid, and regulator together (and the starter motor bracket also)

The two accumulator charger is for an external input. It's original to the boat and not used. The new solar controller is a dual battery unit and constantly measures each battery and splits the charge to keep the batteries balanced.

It's not a must but a convenience. You can leave the original pull choke in place and use that but unlike four strokes, two strokes need the choke off as soon as it starts.

Thank you so much, my motor is the same as yours, but I will pull the choke out when I start, cause I dont have the choke solenoid, plus I dont know how to fix it.@@Pensionersdoaboat

Correct. The starter is a direct bolt on to the engine so carries the ground throughout. The regulator was moved and it's ground tag put under a suitable bolt head.

If you look carefully you can see she's flitting about in the background. It's not really something she can help with and she has family commitments whilst I'm working on the rib. We have had such lousy wet weather we can't really do anything on Thetis except the emergency work I did on the electrics. We will be returning as soon as the weather improves.

Thanks. It is a tight fit in there but it's all in and the final video is now up. I could have made it easier by using 6mm battery cable instead of 8mm. It would have been perfectly adequate.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Well with the series of storms rolling into Devon it's been difficult to do anything !

Thank you, same to you . Lynns knees are really giving her stick but we think it is just winter cold that's making them worse.

So looking forward to warmer weather !

I used a combination of products but the main one was EcoClean which I bought from a boat jumble. It was green in colour and claimed it was safe for the environment. 73s

Thank you! You too!

Thanks, hope you keep enjoying the vids.

With another storm (Ciaran) due so quickly after the last one I think it's going to be lively to say the least ! I have a strap but forgot to put that on. I'm not there again til December so it will have to wait to be put on.

The camera and router were from Amazon Camera IXOXTX Security camera outdoor wireless battery powered with solar panel. Router Huawei E5576 Battery powered wifi router (requires a sim card)

@@Pensionersdoaboat thanks for the info

Thanks 👍 It can have some mild days here so we hope to get some work done then.

We keep saying it needs a section of wood bolting to one side at the top of the ladder, so it rests against the stantion. If I fell it would be a muddy landing !

Thanks. It's pretty sheltered where it is.

Well I usually moor Lynn up to the kitchen sink 😂😂

You can see why they may want to keep that private. Although it does look like a lovely creek.

Thanks, we're nearly there although weather has changed now.

Thetis was Achilles mother, the boat is an Achilles 24 hence the connection. The boat came with the name and is one of about 4 so named 24's. I looked at the pale blue when we first put it on and had doubts. The colour scheme is yet to be finished as there are areas of white to be added for contrast. It's only paint so it can be changed. Surprisingly the anti-slip works well as it's covering previous anti-slip. 👍👍

Not at all. The router uses a SIM card which costs us £6 per month with enough data to log in loads of times on the CCTV and data for the Ipad wifi when we are there. It comes from ID Mobile which uses the 3 network and has always been reliable for us. I also have my phone with ID.

Thanks. Yes we considered later that maybe Tung Oil would have been better but it was one of the first things we did.

Knees are going fast 😒 Day was superb 😁😁😎

Thanks for the info! Yep I hope to drain down shortly and set it up for winter.

You and me both! She is very tender ❤️😂😂

Thanks. we will keep going 👍

Totally agree! Once I stopped trying to turn engine it was so easy. I watched your videos when I first got the boat 👍

Yes, Lynns fine. She was a bit shocked but we laughed about it later. 😍

Maybe one day! We've been out in the small tender on the River Dart today as it was unseasonally warm at 23C !

Only problem is no power except 600 watt generator, not powerful enough for a heat gun. Besides, it keeps Lynn busy 🤣🤣

Thank you. It's nice to know. 👍🙌

🤣🤣🤣
