We are at QAB. It's a very short walk to the Marine Bazaar which is a good deal cheaper than YPP. They are also nice people and have a huge range of stock. It's not the prettiest/cleanest place in the world but that doesn't bother me - I don't mind rummaging about to find what I want.

I don't know the address but can direct you:
leaving QAB turn right and go 20yds to junction. turn left and go about 150yds to the lights. straight across the lights and the marine bazaar is about 100yds on the right. small car park outside.
I've just found the website! http://marinebazaarsuperstore.co.uk/default.aspx

Thanks, I presume it's overlooking Sutton Harbour and near the China House pub. Will pay a visit next time I'm down.

It strikes me the greed of some of these places is killing certain aspects of the industry.

"emergency purchase " .... surely not!
A change of anodes regardless is the first job followed by anti foul.
Even if only 1/2 gone is any one going to chance it for the next 12 months with the alternative being a second lift out or no under water metal left..

Want good but cheap anodes?
Then go get them from CC Marine at Universal Marina, Bursledon. They sell high density British made anodes for a fraction of the price of Duff.

We got 2 x belly and 2 x round trim tab anodes for about 70 pounds.

Duno about the anodes, I know they've gone up like hell.
Merv the perv is a good guy though and will do whatever he can to help. Not saying there cheap. But they are not rip off merchants.

So, there are advantages to the big sticky down things on the bottom of my boat. When the tide goes out (or I catch a sandbank on a shortcut) I can wander around checking anodes/ prop/ antifoul etc for free. Then a quick game of beach cricket & a beer or two before the tide coes back.
