    I was informed my score was correct at 22 so when I got todayโ€™s question correct I expected 23. No itโ€™s still 22.
    Very strange.

    When I lived in South Africa in the 70โ€™s Simonโ€™s Town was used by the British Navy.
    It is heart breaking to see how that beautiful country has declined.

    I use the Action P94 on my Harbour Tug in the tank steering mode and it works great.

    The rudder is 5โ€ long and 3โ€ at its deepest,
    I have found it to be very effective in bringing the yacht about when required.
    The keel is fixed and comprises of a mahogany top section blended with 9 lb of lead
    for ballast.
    This combination allows the Yacht to cope with reasonable wind conditions.

    With reference to the problem I had with my Action Electronics P94.
    I have now received my P94 and wired up in my tugboat.
    Everything working perfectly.
    My thanks to Component Shop for their assistance.

    Iโ€™ve used Component Shop for many years but on this occasion I am very disappointed with their service.
    For those who are not familiar with Action Electronics P94 it is a dual Electronic Speed Controller and Mixer module.

    I have finished my Al Khubar 2 harbour tug build and am now fitting the electrics.I decided purchase a P94 unit from Component Shop.
    This was just over 12 months ago.
    Unfortunately my build was put on hold due to health problems.
    Recently I finished the build.
    I fitted the P94 as per the instructions but the P94 failed to fully function. I contacted Component Shop and sent the unit back to them.
    They have had the unit for over a month and apart from me phoning them and emailing them I have had no response from them.
    Have any of you guys had experience with the Action Electronics P94 or with Component Shop.
    The unit was ยฃ75 and as far as I am concerned a waste of money and I would have been better fitting 2 Escโ€™s.
    Cheers Guys.
