  1. Just had the same on my boat tried pumping up the pressure on the accumulator with no affect so replaced the unit and solved the problem
  2. This is rubbish I am based on the Ashton canal I was involved in it’s restoration and I am now the volunteer lock keeper on the canal. I speak to boaters all the time and a have not come across one who has suffered any form of vandalism. I have come across a number of people who have moored up overnight on the flight without problem. I have heard people calling the canal and the majority of these have never been on it themselves. come use the Manchester canals they and the people are great
  3. Another of those questions that no one will agree on, I would always have a trad back end as I love my back cabin and can get out of the weather with the stove at my feet. My border collie used to love lying at my feet watching the water go by. Surprised no one has mentioned semi trad yet?
  4. In fact at 4:30 this morning I was desperately trying to stop one of Daphne’s top sheets blowing off towards Ashton under Lyne

    This is the sort of question everyone will have a view on my best advice is contact Crowther Marine with your hull dimensions and engine / gearbox details and take their advice
  9. Thanks all I have obviously lots more surprises to come wth this engine
  10. no not sure about fuel filter, there are two in line between day tank and the engine
  11. Again thank you the depression next to the LH pump which did not appear to be leaking was full of engine oil whereas the one next to the RH pump which appears to have the leak, was full of mainly diesel, I will work my way round all the unions tightening up and replace washers as necessary Thanks everyone replacement washers and one replacement bleed screw seems to have improved matters a lot, starting to understand the engine a bit more now

  13. That makes sense will make sure nothing moves thank you all again that’s been a fantastic response
  14. Thanks will take it out very carefully and have a look
  15. Thanks for all the replies it’s that plug/ screw that appears to be leaking, so should it have a copper washer under it?
