  1. I've looked around a number of used narrowboats recently with a view to buying one in due course should our forthcoming week's holiday prove successful. I've noticed that most of them have their water and central heating pipework in plastic (PolyPipe, Speedfit or similar) rather than the traditional copper, and wondered if this was for a particular reason. I thought perhaps it was because there was less chance of vibration fracturing plastic pipes, but having had what I hope is a thorough search on here, I've not found an answer. Can anyone help please? Apologies if it's been covered before, but thanks for any replies folks.

    GRP

    Hi, any recommendations on heating for a GRP, I want to cruise up north ,from October on a Norman Mid cockpit 27ft diesel 1.5 BMC.I have a 1500 inverter, one starter and two leisure batteries. I have a Paloma and a calorifier heated water off engine, I am looking at a low wattage oil heater to leave on overnight, so any recommendations to buy off amazon or e bay that would be power efficient. The boat is not insulated so would probably need one in back cabin as well if I don't winterise. Also would it be wise to buy some sort of 12v greenhouse heater type thing for engine bay even if spending time on it. Any thoughts appreciated.
  3. Hello everyone, Just wondering if you could help please! My boyfriend mike lives on a boat. We're currently off on holiday in a cottage in Derbyshire, and he can't remember if he turned the heating off before we left. It's an Erberspracker heating system, that runs off diesel from the engine. He definitely did not leave the engine on. He thinks it had half a tank full of fuel when we left. We were just wondering...what's the worst that could happen if he did? Will he just lose a tank of fuel (which wouldn't justify driving back to *****) or will it damage the heating system somehow? I'd be super grateful for your advice so we can decide whether to head back to London in a hurry, or relax and head to the pub! Thanks in advance, Jen
  4. Hello everyone, Is there any good hearted soles out there, who could help me out at this festive time of year! I'm in the middle of fitting out my 57' narrowboat, having just finished the lining out I'm just about to start the plumbing! I'm installing an Alde 3010 boiler, along with a surecal twin coil calorifier, fitted over the swim, along with 3 radiators. If anyone could provide me with a suitable fool proof plumbing diagram or the details of a plumber who works in the South Manchester area with marine experiance, then it would be greatly appreciated. Kindest regards Allan
  5. I know a lot of people have been talking about leaving electric oil filed radiators switch on on unattended boats for frost protection. Screwfix has issued a recall on two of the ones they sell. I am sure other supplies also sell this product so even if you didn't buy from Screwfix it may well be worth checking yours. http://www.screwfix.com/images/general/grx/ProductRecallRads.pdf

    Basis for an open vent heating system for a boat fed by a backboiler. Uses adequately sized gravity 'heat dump' rads nearby or next to the stove, and more distant rads and calorifier on a pumped circuit. Updated to clarify how pump is teed in to gravity pipes.

  9. We (CWDF) have many threads related to safety that are posted under 'General Boating'. I believe that safety demands its own category. We all want to enjoy boating on canals, rivers and estuaries, often with our families and loved ones, but we must understand and minimise the risks. Like many other pastimes (e.g. climbing, skiiing, flying, walking etc.) boating does involve risks that can easily be minimised. The BSS Certificate provides some re-assurance but there are many other 'best practice' procedures that may provide a happy ending to a cruise. Alan
  10. Hi all, We have recently completed our maiden trip in Delta Queen, bringing her from Ventnor Farm Marina to our home mooring on the Coventry Canal. Excellent trip, and apart from a heavy shower whilst descending the Hillmorton locks brilliant weather. On the trip we noticed that the radiators were getting hot, even though the Webasto heater was switched off. When we got to our home mooring I looked at the calorifier plumbing connections and think they are plumbed incorrectly. The calorifier is a "Surecal" and was replaced in January. It has 6 connections. Lets call them 1 to 6 starting with 1 at the top. The bottom one (6) is the cold feed in, the top one (1) the hot water out, and the other 4 are the twin coils for the engine cooling circuit and the Webasto heater circuit. I think that the two coils are connection 2 & 3 and 4 & 5. Currently the engine circuit is connected to 3 and 4, and the Webasto heater to 2 and 5. I think this connect the engine and the Webasto in series, hence the hot radiators when the engine is running. (The rads also get hot with the Webasto only on). I think the engine connections should be on 4 and 5 , and the Webasto heater on connections 2 and 3, as this will allow the engine to heat the hot water, but not the radiators. Am I correct? Once I have identified the correct connections, how easy is it to change them? I presume you have to drain the calorifier and also the engine and radiator circuits. If they are plumbed incorrectly, my first port of call will be to ask the company that installed the calorifier to sort it out free of charge. Thanks in advance for the help[. Alan
