    Cabin lights

    Thank you for replies, yes with the old fitting saying 230v I assumed the lamps would work. i will return them for 12v, thanks for all replies.

    Cabin lights

    Sorry pic one, is the old fitting , which I have replaced with pic two, pic three shows the new shades, which replaces the shades in pic four. on one side of the cabin I still have the old set up as shown in pic 1 and 4. pic one the bulb has twin prongs that pull out of the fitting.

    I bought the bulbs that were advertised to go with the fitting
  4. Hi, I want to replace my cabin lights, but I am confused as I have no idea what I am doing. I tried replacing this light.pic 1 with this light..pic 2 however..pic 3 shows them fitted, but won’t work, am I getting 12v mixed up with 240v lights, even though in pic one it says there 230v. sorry for probably being stupid, but I’m no good at electrics, or most other things technical. thanks. They are to replace these on other side of wall, still working..
  5. Was that you passing Kilby bridge, the water levels have been down with helpful CRT staff restoring the levels, hope you have a pleasant journey, we’re following you but taking 6 months to do same trip. You missed out on a meal at the navigation.. we went tonight, two pints, a large glass of Peno Grigio, two fish and chips, lemon meringue with ice cream, £46. Nice staff. I love boating . Ps, the food was fantastic.
  6. I got one of these last year as I was getting down draughty through the squirrel door in high winds. This fixed it and increases the draw. Solved the problem.
  7. Thank you black rose have done as you advised.
  8. The Castro oil is API GL_4 , which I ordered, are you saying I should discard and look for GL_5 ?
  9. So this stuff will be ok. ?
  10. Hi, I need to change my vetus bowthruster oil, which manual states should be EP90 , do I have to order Vetus oil or will any EP90 oil do?
  11. Have a look at latelink.com they show hire bases throughout the country, it will give you an idea of all the bases to choose from.
  12. Coat it with carnauba wax and rub it in, worked for me on wood.
  13. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  14. Thank you for replies, I know now where to look, or at least get someone else where to look. If it’s starter battery then fine, it’s an aqualine, nothing has been modified apart from getting solar panels in. As I said the domestics are fine and starter battery fired engine first thing this morning. I was out in the country , no roads anywhere near. So have got near civilisation now and will go into a marina tomorrow and get them to look at it. Thanks again to every one.
  15. Just checked, engine hasn’t run for five hours, not hooked up by the way The bmv does not wire into the starter battery, but my internal monitor is showing it at 12.8, thanks for looking but your last paragraph goes over my head. But what people are saying is that light being on relates to the starter battery[unless a wiring fault]?
