Hi guys....decision made I've gone for the Millers superfleet, read up and it ticks the boxes thank you one and all.

Looks a job well done.

Thanks for the help everybody, I now have a better understanding of what I'm after.

Steady hand when pouring....

Thanks Rusty that appears looking at it, is the stuff already running through' its veins. Think you've found it.

Thanks Giant I've looked at this and it doesn't give an alternative/modern spec for CC grades. Does any body know the modern spec ?.

I've seen that Webb site and it only confused the matter. The engine is a yanmar barrus shire built circ 2000. The handbook states use oil 10w30 with API CC (DO NOT USE ANY OIL ABOVE CC ...IE CD,CF).

Could be the baby. Do you know what the suffix SE is. The only reason I ask is the engine has always run on 10w30 api CC with no suffix SE. Is this the modern version of CC.

I am looking for some 10w30 api CC engine oil. Any one know a source, or recommend an alternative. Cheers

thanks Tony I will.

I've found it, (the plug hole) never knew there was one, thanks folks. Got myself a cheapish drill pump which cleared the remainder in about half an hour. I suppose for the amount of water (20buckets) it could have been there for years, it was orange. Cheers.

I recently noticed a damp patch on my carpet. On further examination ie. ripping up the carpet, removing the pipe boxing and boring a hole in the plywood flooring and bailing out some 20 gallons of water. I've also drained all the water system. It seems to have done the trick. All I can think of is that we had a pretty bad chimney leak a couple of years ago could so much water ingress be responsible. Have any other members had a similar problem.

Thanks for all above. Seems that all only confirm my scenario. My new thoughts are sand down the lettering then prepare and paint a smaller oblong panel in a contrasting colour (ie. Cream ) so that no matching up needed and put decal over. One thing I ain't going to do is put our names on and pass the problem on.

We've had the boat just over 12 months. The people we bought it off had there names painted on the sides. They are unfortunately not our names. So question is how do I remove these names. I know it will leave a mark of some description and I am willing to replace will some sort of decal. Any ideas how to remove with minimal collateral damage.

Anyone got one or opinion of a fireglow stove. Seems fairly cheap for a cast iron stove.
