  1. Tesco own brand here. I've had the misfortune of having to dismantle a loo due to blockage, but nothing to do with the toilet paper!
  2. Sounds like we're neighbours, are you moored at Uplands or Anderton? I'm in the same position, I have a mooring for work purposes, then I escape when I can.
  3. They've literally only just got the access road in. I don't expect anyone knows for certain yet how long the closure will be. I'd personally be looking at alternatives.

  6. Same with mine. Shaped wooden supports which have door stops on the bottom (with one side trimmed down take into account the curvature of the roof). They're 12 years old and are just about looking like they need replacing.
  7. No, but from my reading, there may be some traction in swapping the inner batteries to the outer position and vice versa. This is because the outer batteries work marginally harder than the inner two. However, it's a very small difference.

  9. I've fished things out of the tank by letting it run low, then being very lucky with a small torch and a telescopic grabber like these:

    Size....

    57ft, just me. I think a well planned fit-out really decides how much "useable" space you get. I've got more useable space and storage in my 57ft boat than I've seen in many 70ft boats!

  12. But that's total engine oil. You'd only replace that volume in a freshly built engine. For general servicing, you can only remove the oil from the sump.
  13. Kubota based BETA 1505 (38), my oil changes are usually 5-5.5 Litres.
  14. My partly-informed part-formed opinion of double glazing on boats is that the units appear to have a fairly high failure rate, and this appears to have put a lot of manufacturers off, let alone buyers. I believe one company started producing double glazed units but stopped due to warranty claims? Sorry, very sparse on detail as I can't remember the company name. Personally I have the usual single glazed units and use a secondary glazing film in deepest darkest winter.
  15. Same problem with mine too, rain runs along the runners under the hatch and drips in. My sliding hatch is wood on steel - no brass runner strips.
  16. What would you do with one of them? I'd look bleedin' inelgegent sitting in one of them that's for sure! Not that I'd look elegant naked in any setting, but you know what I mean.
  17. That's not my recollection, in fact, there were some rather long and heated threads about exactly that!

    Ecofans

    I like my ecofan purely for the "man's toy windmill" effect, and for the only useful purpose that it gives a visual indication of how hot the stove is and whether it's going to be in need of fuel shortly or not. Saying that, it came with the boat, I wouldn't have bought one.

  21. That could be entertaining if the hulls touched whilst you were welding!
