What instruction follows the .......

But in a previous (now hidden) post she does state that she tried the 3kw inverter with a 'big load' (washing machine in addition to other stuff) for the first time - and that is when the cables melted and 'caused a fire'.

As you were told by several people the draw is identical, but the Lead batteries will not last as long (damaged if used at 300 amp for an extended period. Had you turned on the inverter with the old (lead) batteries the cables would still have melted. He was paid to install new Lithium batteries, not to go thru and rectify the dangerous installation done by the previous owner. You owe apologies !

No, there are some 90,000 boats registered on the inland waterways of GB, of which some 30,000 are on C&RT waters. There are 21 AINA members drawn from the public, private and third sectors. They include British Waterways, the Environment Agency and the Broads Authority, in addition to national park authorities, local government authorities, private canal companies, internal drainage boards and a variety of public and charitable trusts. Most AINA members are defined as navigation authorities by their own Acts of Parliament (some of them over 250 years old) which regulate the operation of their waterways. Others, such as local government authorities, have inherited the status of navigation authority through various statutes. Between them, AINA members have responsibility for over 5,500 km of navigable, non-tidal inland waterways which include canals, river navigations and lakes.

They won't be, because the 21 navigation authorities are all on inland waterways

There are 21 Inland navigation authorities who are members of AINA, C&RT (did) account for some 30% of boat registrations.

Having a plan does not mean it will all be achieved - and, in many cases, may not even have any actions taken - but, it does makes people think that something will happen in the future and keeps the gullible from complaining.

To do a water check.

If you use either the whole filter, or just the 'base', you will need to replace that plastic 'washer' on the drain tap with a copper one or your BSS examiner will (should) fail it. The filter should be 'fire-proof' and if the platic washer melts it could / would cause drips of diesel. Some of these types of filters have plastic taps and they are definite BSS failures.

Would that be Joseph's wonderful coat of many colours ?

Is this in some alternative universe ? or When did the category nomenclature change ? As far as I am aware, since its introduction, the RCD categories have been :

Yea - as I posted above They tried that on me when we had the Catamaran there. Having got no satisfaction from the local staff I eventually got to talk with the MD who agreed it was ridiculous and he amended the Aquavista Rules for Hull marina. As they are not on waters that require a BSS he agreed that it was not required. With a 75 foot air draft we could not even use the Trent We never had a BSS for the 5 years we were there.
