Its 21 bog rolls and I might have had a few too many in the Airport GArf!

You own a back street boys CD? You should be shot!

Wouldn't say I own it but they may be one in the house which a foreign forum member spotted along with 21 toilet rolls, a pile of Land Rover magazines, a kitchen that has too many appliances and a nice pussy (cat) that has a lovely coat which incidently he slept with!

Anyway, returning to less useful stuff;

if you continually have people chucking themselves off your boat, allegedly "diving", a good idea is to have about 10 metres of that really cheap crappy polyprop rope (it floats) with a monkeys fist or other heaving line knot on the end of it. Secure it near your seat, on cylinder rack or on A frame. If you arent quite near enough to reach out to them throw out the rope and pull them in - dead easy! saves a load of embarassing manouvring that never seems quick or easy.

Still hear your radio at 40 knots.

I've been using this and it's survived the winter.

Not at the moment Tony. Had the setup in my old console. When I've finished this new one I'll get some to you. Really easy to do.
I found where I put the socket on my old console the wire sometimes fouled the steering wheel. I'm thinking of routing an extension cable from the console to the double jockey so the wire goes down my back instead.

Seems like a very good idea. I must look into the wiring of it on my console. Heard the radio last week and by the time I slowed down and got the noise level at a reasonable level I missed the message from the Lough Neagh rescue boat

Yeah there's no chance of hearing the radio even at 20 knots is there. My hearing is bad enough as it is from the days I used to sit behind a drumkit.
You may find a twin head set better to cover both ears to help cut out wind noise.
