  1. This sounds like you have a damaged seal so you can also expect after a sort while for it to start dripping again, so check on a very regular basis, When you squeeze in the silicon only put a very small amount in, about the size of a pea. If you put too much into it you can blow the seal out of its housing, been there done that. There is a thread on here somewhere about these seals, perhaps someone with the know how can point you in the right direction, and even how to replace them with the boat still in the water.
  2. Don't forget to check under the flooring (Bilge) to see how much water is there that will need to be removed.
  3. Just found this topic and thought that others may be interested.
  4. As do the Boatyard on the K&A at Hilperton.
  5. I had the pleasure of selling this one when I was at the T&K marina.
  6. No I haven't and yes I would agree with you that you probably are one of the few that have.
  7. Why do they check if its not mandatory?
  8. No need for a strainer as Gulpers can handle all that sort of stuff, my one has been doing that for about 8 years without a strainer. I do hope I haven't spoken to soon.

  10. Just out of curiosity and as I don't know and I'm not sure if it has been asked before but, what surcharges will someone with a wide beam that is a continues cruiser have to pay? I think C&RT should base the standard licence fee on the length X width of a boat, The same as the EA do, that would seem much more sensible.
  11. Where abouts in Brentford is that as I don't recognise it and I born and bred there 1948-1973. I also went to the gas works on a Saturday morning with me homemade hand cart to buy sacks of coke [not the kind you put in a roll-up] for the week.

    Licences

    Well what about those that have a home mooring but go out CCing for 6-8 months of the year, again just asking.

    Licences

    I wounder what will happen when a CCer takes a winter mooring, will they get a refund on that part of their licence? Just asking😇
  14. Try contacting Victoria at the Boatyard Hilperton, she makes fenders. ukboatyard.com https://www.ukboatyard.co
  15. Don't forget that some of these fans only like running on a stable 12v supply, were as on a boat you could have between 11.5~14.5v. Just saying.
  16. Does any one know if plans are available for Old Wide Work Boats, some thing like "Golden Spray" https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/735846026603894632/
  17. Its certainly a good idea to take out the window (very carefully so's not to bend them) if you have the time, as quite often you will find rust starting behind them.
  18. Normally open all day 7 days a week.
  19. The Brewery Inn at Seend, short walk into the village, goes good food and not too expensive. Have been there quite a few time lately.
  20. Can you pull out the front steps and go in behind them and get to the water tank, that way you maybe able connect a length of pipe to fill fitting and tank.

  23. Coming in to this debate a bit late but, I think CRT should base the licence fees on the same principle as the EA do on the Thames and that is by the square area of the boat. I have a wide beam, 11ft wide and my licence is the same as anything wider, so is the fair? Not that I have read every reply on this post but I haven’t seen anything about increasing the fees for fishing or canoeing or these boards that you stand up on. As for the survey, CRT will do what ever they want or have already decided upon.
