  1. Must say I thought it feeble as well 🥰
  2. You would, or maybe wouldn't be surprised by the number of boat owners who don't know that
  3. Kings Bromley Wharf have there own crane on site, thats not far from you. They may even sort the whole job for you Services - Kings Bromley Wharf Narrowboats
  4. How is the Birmingham level and it reservoirs ?
  5. Mine is VERY tight to fit, It would be very difficult to remove from the outside without cutting it in half. I wouldn't say impossible but far from easy Its also double glazed with a second sheet on the inside of the frame
  6. Good big birds for eating
  7. Didn't @ronnietucker do some insulating on a GRP cruiser
  8. Hopefully they don't wander off for a pint while the lock is filling so if anything does catch they can drop the paddles and then there is no disaster. I am not sure what someone on the boat could do.
  9. If I remember I screw mine until its tight once I stop for the day , I am much better now but in the past I often forgot to do it. Also our prop is reasonably slow rotating by modern standards, probably about 450 RPM occasionally going up to 550 RPM. Looking at Gybe Ho prop size he will probably be the same.
  10. It rather depends on the installation, prop shaft support and alignment. I haven't repacked mine in 25 years and probably only adjusted it once every 5 years
  11. My word he has aged quickly, its not long since he was a spotty teenager a year ago posting while off school 😂
  12. Welcome aboard
