I like 'Big boy bodyfiller' from Toolstation. Goes on nice and is easy to sand. Get it in the 600ml tub and it's good value.

5 year rule If a craft is entirely built (including the shell) by a DIY boatbuilder only for their personal use it is excluded from the RCR provided it is not placed on the market within 5 years of its first use as a boat. The boat does not have to be complete for the 5 year period to start, but does have to have been used as a boat (e.g. cruised on a waterway). The '5-year rule' does not apply to sailaway craft that have been completed by the first owner, as such craft have to be assessed under Post Construction Assessment by an Approved Body. https://www.abnb.co.uk/useful-information/faq-rcd#:~:text=If a craft is entirely,first use as a boat.

Should the 2 threads about the 4 threads be merged?

Just to update this, new belt arrived today so I put that on. Wired it as suggested and all works well. Thanks again.

Hi all, I was hoping someone would be able to identify the wiring connection on the back of my alternator. It's been on my engine for a few years, but never had a belt or wiring, so I'm going to see if I can get it going. There are no markings next to the 2 terminals with spade connectors on them. Would the blue arrow be the B+ , and the red arrow be the D+ ? There was a black wire connected to one of the mounting bolts that went back to battery negative. I have wired an alternator before but the terminals were all marked up, Any advise appreciated thanks.

Interesting project. Looks more like a Harborough Marine to me. What engine will be going in ? .

If it was still on that mooring in November 21 maybe it got moved with the others. https://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/topic/113280-mersey-and-wye-ll-shortboats/

Have a look at Sabb or Bukh.

Thanks Tony Your wiring instructions were spot on. Got it going. Thanks again.

Thanks, you've given me something to work with. will have another look at it tomorrow.

Hi all, I have an old starter motor and I'm struggling with the wiring. It's a cav CA45f12-35m , where do I connect wires to get it going ?. I have read some of sirnibbles previous posts but I can't find any wiring pics. Thanks I've circled the terminals.
