On a serious note...
I'm wondering where the females have gone from this forum .....it's turning into a blokes bar!
The girls come in over the years and then they dispatch ...you guys must scare them away
Are we really that boring?

This is the old farts forums

You know how they say a pet can look like it's owner?
This is my little snooky-peach blossom, ain't she just the cutest?

Hi Donk,
Yes mate, she continues to both bewitch and bedazzle me every outing.
It has proven harder than i thought to really understand how to trim, which is fascinating and frustrating at the same time.
To date the best we have achieved is 106% against polars to windward, 70% against polars downwind, that's admittedly without optimum conditions, for example we still haven't had the right conditions to three sail reach yet.
I still can't believe how simple it is to sail, you really only need one person, EXCEPT when getting her off the dock :)

Sorry for the thread hijack!

aren't all boats girls that must count for something

Southace, I know little about these matters, so this is a wild shot in the dark, but do you think that it might just be possible that the answer to your original question can be found somewhere in the nature of this response of yours!

No no don't get me wrong Trim and myself just realised that the females from the forum seem to have floated off in the past months. No pun intended

I think they've all graduated to single hand sailors and sailed off to places that are incommunicado.
We'll here from them when they get back and tell us what a mob of 'stay-at-homes' we are.

Incommunicado!!!

Reminds me of that classic line in the movie "10".

Dudley Moore is sitting in the bar of the hotel in Acopulco and Julie Andrews is on the phone with the barman asking to speak with Dudley who shakes his head "No".

The barman says he is "incommunicado".

She says where is "Communicado"??

He says about 50 miles from "innuendo".

Ha!. I thought 'innuendo' was an Italian supositary.

I've been so happy since I left the marina and been living on the hook. Sadly though I lost my whaite cat Lily overboard one night up the river. The other 2 ...? One went iver a week after her mother but found her way back up one of the ropes I leave hanging in the water.
I'm totally addicted to living on board..just might buy a better one soon so RANI might be for sale.

G'day McNaughtical,
Get a hammer and a big screwdriver with a broad end, or a cold chisel style implement.
Soak around the edge of the mating surface with a spray lubricant, let soak. Then carefully set the cold chisel end into the castellated protrusion, and give it a good solid tap with the hammer.
Not over your head style mad swinging, but a good hard hit with the hammer starting a good 8 inches away on the swing.
Be careful you don't use something too sharp, you dont want to cut off the protrusions.
You want the screwdriver/cold chisel to be aligned with the protrusion, you are using the force on the circumference to do the work for you. In other words, if you have the cold chisel angled toward the centre, you will just cut into it, and the force is wasted.
Hope this helps mate.

Run a knife around the edge to score a line between the unit and the hull, ie: make sure it is not glued on through corrosion from all the usual gunk?
You do need some confidence with the swing, I have been a bit woosy before, achieved nothing, then got frustrated and given it a good belt, and voilah!

Hi McNaughtical,
just my 2 cents - don't use a cold chisel or any other steel implement, chances are you'll damage something.
Use a piece of timber, say 40x19mm of suitable length and another heavier piece of timber (or mallet) to hit it with - more effective and much less chance of tears.
Alternatively, surely there's someone around who knows how to undo the transducer and is wiling to help?
best of luck
