Yes it is ducted throughout the boat - 2 outlets in the rear cabin, 1 outlet in the en-suite, 1 outlet in the saloon, 1 outlet in the dining area / galley, 1 outlet in the forward head, and one outlet in the forward cabin. Thermostatic control in the saloon,

Generally having a (minimum) £3million insurance cover is a requirement to obtain a marina mooring. (It has been in every marina I've ever been in !)

we have a 'blown air' system, (8kw Eber) and it can hardly be heard inside the boat, but, outside it can be heard for 'miles' as the sound (like a rocket engine) travels across the water.

You won't need a BSS - it'll be exempt.

Earwig Ho agen !

But it is one way of getting rid of the body - not everyone has access to Pigs

There are about a dozen marina and boat repairers listed in Lowestoft One example is : https://northgatemarine.co.uk/ we had a problem when in Lowestoft marina and they were most helpful, but I dont know how good their electrical expertise is.

Just remember that any painting (including blacking) onto cold steel does not go well between October and March, unless you can find a heated dry-dock. The dew point is critical when painting. The reason that most yards are busy is because the "operational year" is only 6 months (unless they have the aforesaid heated dry dock)

But when you repeatedly ask for information, and it is ignored, you cannot teach very much. It happens all too regularly - the original questioner seems to 'take the hump', or ignore you, if you ask for more detail.

Agreed - the yard I used for blacking had a 2 year waiting list. I'd book in for the next one when picking the boat up. Good 'yards' (for anything) are going to be booked up for many months ahead and, if they are not, then you don't want to be using them.

why not just learn to handle a boat without a 'girlie button' - you never know, you might enjoy it.

It is impossible to give meaningfull answers to inherently flawed information.

The current used to turn over the engine will be (normally) between 150 amps and 300 amps- depending on starter model If your battery is only 'outputting' 4.1 amps you have a problem somewhere.

Boats with the 'cheapo' versions tend to put a rope loop over one of the prop-blades and tie it off to the mounting pole.
