  1. My point is when the OP posted this thread a very useful bit of kit was given very derisory reviews by people who have never even seen one, so as an owner of one of these generators I am very glad I ignored the armchair experts and went to see for myself. So as a result I felt the need to post to set the record straight as I wouldn't want anyone to be put off such a useful bit of kit should they consider one.
  2. Old topic I know .. but I have fitted one of these under the seat on my cruiser stern exhausted through a skin fitting on the hull and I have to say it's the best thing I ever did ... Despite all the comments on here it is no noisier than a boat engine and quieter than a lot of them and certainly quieter than any petrol suitcase Genny ... It also runs for 30 hours on a 20 litre tank of diesel and runs everything aboard with ease even the washer dryer, it also powers both chargers on our pair of boats for far less than running 2 engines and also obviously saves on servicing costs as we now only run our engines when cruising .. oh and once the battery charge settles into absorption we can run both immersion heaters for hot water. Everything is fitted to conform with the BSS (it has been checked) and an added bonus is that when it's running it heats the rear deck. It also is on a bogey on castors so can be moved forwards should I need to access the weed hatch. If you haven't stood next to one of these running don't comment on the noise as with all due respect you don't have a clue.
  3. Ref you question "LPWS4 started smoking after replacing head gasket".

     

    What was the fix - we'd all love to know.

  4. Wotever! .... when you get another boat, get the same equipment and sim as me and try it ... then give me your opinion based on FACT as mine is ... dont just sit googling in your chair and calling me a liar... oh and dont bother responding again please as I have far more important things to do with my time than making sure anyone potentially looking for a dog b*llox internet setup isnt dissuaded by an armchair expert , but gets the factual feedback of someone that actually uses the equipment on a daily basis. Rick
  5. Why on earth would I ? as a user of EE with the equipment above it works brilliantly, so rather than go and question that , I give the information out to people looking for a brilliant fast reliable internet setup based on actually using it for 12 months plus and having installed it on a number of boats and those people also being over the moon with it, I can and will heartily recommend it. Oh and all the installations i have done have been for no financial reward whatsoever, so i have no reason to recommend it other than the fact I am so, so pleased with the setup and speeds i achieve. Rick
  6. it can be a 10th of 3 , limited sugests in some way an inferior service which as a user it isnt... it has made not one jot of difference to the speed of my interrnet or my ability to get 5G in most places ... fact Rick
  7. I get my 5G internet through the router and aerial i recommended above .... Its a 300mbps 5g router with 4 ethernet ports and capable of running 32 devices ... in conjunction with the MIMO aerial in my earlier post. ... I hope you enjoy your 5G as much as i do Rick
  8. If you wish to visit at your expense I will happily prove it to you, record your visit and accept your apology publicly Rick
  9. Plus ... suggesting you believe everything previously said to contradict me was true ... EE has limited bandwidth at the moment ? .... no it doesnt but you would know this if you actually used it as i have for the last 12 months +
  10. well then your wrong! I have no reason to lie I am not in or near any of the above listed cities and have been getting 5g internet for over 12 months Sorry but thats utter rubbish based on my experience of EE and several other people that have adopted my setup and are using the same EE sim .... You can read what you want but everything i have stated is from practical experience otherwise i would say it was crap and certainly not endorse it to anyone else but rather tell them to steer clear ... I obviously wont do that because it is absolutely excellent and i couldnt be happier with it ... Anyone who hasnt got it and doesnt use it with the level of equipment i do really cant validate a comment, anymore than they could write a long term road test on the practicalities, economy reliability performance or level of driver comfort of a car without actually driving and owning one, but instead just reading up and looking at pictures. Rick
  11. With my EE 60g for 28 quid a month sim I am now getting 5g almost everywhere , just done the 4 counties, llangollen, weaver and cauldon no issues streaming at lightening speeds Rick with my setup i dont need a massive mast ... it even works just laid on the roof and gives me a signal right to the cruiser stern when i am on the move even though the router is right at the front of the boat Rick
  12. To be fair I am sure it would have manifested itself today especially in this heat and with all the time at tickover going through locks Rick
  13. Glad to hear your moving and have company , just in case ... but i am sure once the air is out you will be absolutely fine Rick
  14. without the cap the level will just keep rising as i did on a boat i went out to last week on the cov where the cap seal had deteriorated ... the pressure will be at the highest point hence the expansion tank ... it allows the fluid to rise and fall, but only escape if the cap spring pressure is reached. Rick
  15. I had it the other way around ... the Plastic padding didnt work for me , but the evo stick did! .... I can only think the reason is down to the temperature as mine failed Jan before last just before that deluge of snow! .... I am sure with the cap on you will be just fine , but do make sure that the system is bled properly before setting off ... good luck Rick
