Naburn marina is now closed so all facilities there, inc diesel etc are no longer available

Bet half way through you thought "Why the hell did I start this"

Check the tracking on Ebay, it may tell you which courier is being used, I found it better than P2G, If its Herm you can use the tracking number on their site.

As was mine

Mine arrived today, certainly worth the price

Mine is marked as dispatched

Just ordered one, thanks for the link

Yehh but having made Admiral straight from Captain he needed 2 boats to get to the top job as Admiral of the Fleet

Glad to see you have found your new project, and its even got a houdini hatch which I know was your No1 requirement ?? Good luck.

Ahhhh thanks Alan

Thinking about it they are being a bit stupid. At the moment River "licence" is based on the full rate less 40% + VAT They AND us river users would be better off if it was a river "registration" and was based on the full rate but for example less 35% with Zero VAT. Keeping it simple if the full rate was £500. At the moment river users pay £500 - 40% = £300 + VAT = £360. They get £300. HMRC get £60 If it was a "registration" £500 - 35% = £325 We save £35 but they get an extra £25 If the EA already charge zero VAT for river registration the precedence has been set for boat registration on rivers being zero

Does the Environment Agency charge VAT for boat registration on say the Thames? I cannot find any mention of VAT at all on their list of charges.

Wayne, is that regulator damaged? It looks like a dent where the paint is missing, something dropped on it?

ave you tried turning on the tap (one of the 3 isolater ones in your pic) to the hob and lighting all the rings for a couple of minutes to get rid of any "air" in the system. then doing a bubble test on that circuit?

Just posted on the York marina Facebook page NAVIGATION WARNING: We have just had a call from Hull Marina, their Lock Gates are currently out of order, so if any of you were thinking of heading down you will not be able to get in!

Nope, bakelite is a thermosetting plastic does not melt with heat

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh dear........................

May be worth a PM to Bod He did end up saying " Any one interested in one for spare/repair, I can't fathom out how it works. " Or, but a bit expensive with postage https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Windsor-Model-77A-multimeter/222482104216?hash=item33ccf77f98:g:ahkAAOSwke9aQiE6:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true

Thanks guys for the feedback and info Will check the curve spec next time I am at the boat. Suspect they will be "B". May well fit a new Box with the charger circuit using a type "C" MCB

Thanks On the boat typical "garage" consumer unit 1 x RCD 2 x MCB Age not known

I bought a Victron IP22 30 amp charger last summer and sometimes when I switch on (say after return to marina) it momentarily charges at 30amp and trips a 10 amp MCB This is when the MCB has virtually no other load and the batteries are well up toward being fully charged anyway Reset MCB and may be OK, charge starts at 30 amp and drops down as expected over a short period of time. Sometimes takes a couple of goes. I would have thought a 10 amp MCB could cope with a 30 amp charger! If I just connect a 2000w electric fire to that MCB circuit it does not trip so I do not think the problem is the MCB. When the boat was lifted onto the hard in November I purposely applied a load to the batteries (bank of 4 x 110a) to drop SOC a little, prior to turning on the charger. The same thing happened but this time it tripped the marina 10 amp MCB supply instead. Ok so is it a faulty charger or is it just some form of “spike” that chargers can do on start up that is doing the tripping. I have contacted another member on here who has the same 30a charger but has not experienced tripping out on start up.

Are they from battery hens?

Couple of questions. Is that a switch on the light. If so does it work as expected without tripping fuse etc. Does the fuse trip if you disconnect just one wire (either) or only when both

Looks to me as if there is an on/off switch at the bottom of the light unit. If so there is NO difference between switching off the light and disconnecting the wires.
