Mine is a 1kw 12v and pulls ~ 200 when 'working hard' Google AI suggests : Q : what current will a 1kw 12 volt boat anchor winch draw A : This means that the winch will be able to handle 450 Amps of current before it starts heating up. This is the mean value of Amperage for most of the winches. If the winch is heavier or lighter, or depending upon the load being pulled, it will draw anywhere between 100 – 600 Amperes …

The OP states that the one he/she/it is looking at (maybe this one, maybe not) does have an outboard - there are very few boats with Diesel outboards so he/she/it is likely to find the problem with any outboard powered boat he/she/it buys

No, but the last few days I have had a change in viewing the VNC. It is now always the expanded option - I change it to condensed and it just changes back - really pi$$ing me off !

This one ? Highbridge 32 Crusader for sale UK, Highbridge boats for sale, Highbridge used boat sales, Highbridge Motor Boats For Sale Big Bird 32ft 1988 3 berth GRP motor cruiser - Apollo Duck That is the one that @Amylincs has surveyed (and presumably walked away from) as it is still for sale.

You asked for details of which legislation referred to the display of the licence (as you suggested that C&RTs T&Cs are not law) You got an answer. You didn't like the answer so suggested that BW Acts are now longer applicable as BW no longer exists (which, by the way, it does) You now try and wriggle out of your hole saying it was only the T&Cs being discussed.and the legslation is irrelevant. Hopefully you will outgrow your delusions and one day will become a useful member of the boating fraternity.

I don't think that many canal boats have a powered windlass The current will vary depending on the work it is doing - there can even be a bried peak of 'overload' when 1st trying to un-set an anchor. Our anchor windlass/winch is something around 200 amps.

Why not just use a multimeter set to amps ? Most boaters these days have one and they only cost ~£20-£30 (but ensure it does DC amps not just AC amps)

Maybe you are as naive as you seem to be, or maybe just acting naive Are you really saying that the British Waterways Act of 1995 does not apply to C&RT ?, so we don't have to either have a mooring or move every 14 days, or have insurance or a BSS ? All legislation that contains the 'word' BW is now to be read as CRT EXPLANATORY DOCUMENT TO THE BRITISH WATERWAYS BOARD (TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS) ORDER 2012 2012 No. 1659 1. 2. 3. This explanatory document has been prepared by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and is laid before Parliament by Act. Purpose of the instrument 2.1 This instrument transfers functions exercisable by the British Waterways Board under certain enactments to Canal & River Trust (a company limited by guarantee), in relation to England and Wales. The British Waterways Board will continue to operate in Scotland, and this instrument additionally makes consequential changes to the constitution and functions of that Board in Scotland. Matters of special interest to the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments 3.1 None. 4. Legislative Context 4.1 The British Waterways Board was established by section 1 of the Transport Act 1962, and became the statutory successor to certain functions and property of the British Transport Commission. By virtue of the Transport Act 1962 and a number of other public and local enactments, the British Waterways Board exercises a range of functions. The Board operates as a navigation authority, a statutory undertaker and a harbour authority under a wide range of enactments. 4.2 The Public Bodies Act 2011 confers powers on Ministers in relation to certain public bodies and offices. Section 5 to that Act enables Ministers by order to modify the functions of a body specified in Schedule 5, or transfer a function of such a person to an eligible person. The British Waterways Board is listed in Schedule 5. 4.3 This instrument is being made to transfer statutory functions exercisable by the British Waterways Board in England and Wales to Canal & River Trust. Canal & River Trust is a company limited by guarantee (and an eligible person within the meaning of section 1(3) of the Public Bodies Act 2011), and is in the process of seeking charitable status. The British Waterways Board will continue to exist and carry out functions in relation to Scotland.

That is a typical AI tpe of response, giving the question and then the answers. Not necessarily suggesting Lukas is an AI but it certainly looks as if that is his source. Interesting to see if you get a reply.

British Waterways Act 1971

There are dozens of tests - some actually burst into flames during filming.
