Mate out of Sunderland marina just text to say he landed 17 cod for 2lb-6lb and 1 haddock 2lb along with whiting

tich, just like a boat overhaul, change the anodes, renew all the seals, remove all foreign bodies that may interefere with operation, check all hydraulics, check/replace bearings, check/replace the hinge pins etc etc.
