Stolen boats and outboards(possible sticky?)

Sh1tbag OToole · 28-08-2014 8:29pm

My own brother keeps an Avon 4.65 rib with a 50 hp 4 stroke outboard on a good roadworthy trailer at a rural secluded residential premises which is unattended all day and many weekends with no security whatsoever and no matter how often I bring the matter of security up I always get the same answer , "it been there for years and nobody has stolen it". I also know these thieves (local people) operate in this area and it is only a matter of time before the boat is interfered with. It could be hitched on and in Belfast within the hour.
We all need to be more vigilant.

Seasport 4.65? Which 4 stroke has he on it just out of interest?

Dun Laoghaire Harbour has its own harbour police, they just got a brand new 4x4 (or van) so they can sit more comfortably all day and night - at least I havent seen them doing anything else around.

Dunlaoire Harbour police have a new van to carry wheel clamps! No interest in any other misdemeanour's happening on their doorstep (Or is it Harbour?):)

50 HP Mercury/Mariner, perfect outboard for the boat, goes extremely nicely.

A few items recovered in Portlaise recently. Have a look on the Garda web page.

Good news everyone...

http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0707/713224-boats/

"Boating equipment worth €150,000 have been recovered by gardaí investigating the theft of boat engines. The haul included 74 outboard engines, 10 boats and eight boat trailers. [...] "

EDIT: I guess that's what catastrophy was talking about.

42inchchest · 07-07-2015 1:18pm

Thanks but mine aint in there! Nice to see some recovered though.

Sh1tbag OToole · 07-07-2015 2:29pm

They probably sold all the 4 stroke stuff. Doubt that a gang would go for only 2-strokes

fergal.b · 07-07-2015 5:32pm

Maybe they were robbed in the 70's

Bio Mech · 07-07-2015 6:12pm

I wonder who valued that at 150k? I would have put it nearer half that. Most of it needs a serious Fergal resto job.

Some of those engines look so old they might have come from the parts boxes in Fergal's attic or shed!

:D
The "proceeds of crime" values are always overestimated - same for the drug hauls - to boost the "success" figures. (Not slagging the guy on the street, it's the politicos.) In my corner of the SW, in 1922 there was a copshop with sargeant and 4 in the village, twenty years ago it was a sargeant and one, 10 years ago it was one garda working different shifts, today it is one garda working a much-enlarged area (about 400 sq. miles!) and he has to share "the car" with the two guys in the next town!
It will be interesting to see who and what happens when the case goes to court.

75k + 75k to pay some cloning bank to clone Fergal

patspost · 07-07-2015 11:07pm

Have to agree looking at the photos, a lot of the engines look to be at least 30 years old.
Maybe they were the robbed engines they didnt bother exporting.
No mention of any arrests. Hopefully they will follow.
Wonder how active the unit/ lock up was?, maybe the stuff is sitting there years.

That boat payup was on donedeal few weeks ago for 150 euro by some lad in kildare selling outboard s adwell.

fergal.b · 08-07-2015 8:03pm

That would have been the CE certification sticker it looks something like this with the model number.

There should also be an ID plate on the transom clamps like this.

I know mercury and a few others do have the serial number on frost bungs but I'm not sure the one in the add is one as would expect to see some letters like S for short shaft or L for long, maybe a suzuki owner could check it out.

Looks a bit fishy.

pedroeibar1 · 08-07-2015 9:55pm

I'm waiting for the auction - I need an integrated (?) (built-in) fuel tank for my 3hp mercury! New it's about €150 including shipping which is probably more than my engine is worth!

Boaty · 08-07-2015 11:10pm

She's dodgy alright, rang the person selling it, he doesn't know what make of rib he had it on.
Service history is also in a different language as it was imported.
I've found the same lad trying to sell it 8 months ago.
When asked about the hours, he sounded puzzled and then asked how to check, he assured me he only used it amfew times.

Since been reported for some investigation.

fergal.b · 28-07-2015 10:17pm

Four stroke 8 hp Yamaha, engine number M140429910 stolen from Dunmore East harbour on Saturday night.

Maybe check a local garden machinery shop and see if they have anything that will fit? It might be not quite as big and you might need a few adaptors but better than nothing

Can you give us the number and any other marks, dints or add ons that might separate your boat from all the others.

Got the bad news this morning that the garage at the homeplace was broken into last night with a the loss of four outboard engines and two electric engines. Numerous power tools and chainsaws. I'm hoping my Facebook friends can share this post and hopefully someone might come across the engines or be offered them for sale. Any help or information at all would be gladly appreciated. To say myself and my father are gutted is an understatement. Below is a list of the engines and some photos. So come on please get sharing. Thanks in advance.

　 turns out the trailer bearing wasn't up to the getaway not for the want of trying I believe the lower leg got a bit of a hammering, well done to Moonshadow's wife for spotting her.
