I had to rewire mine with 8mm2 to get the fridge to work at 4 metres from the batteries. I think you'll have problems !

And a very short cue.

Ronnie O’Sullivan lived on a canal boat prior to leaving the UK for Dubai. The snooker icon left England this summer to embark on a new adventure in the Middle-Eastern nation, which offers a far more glitzy lifestyle than the humble £130,000 narrow boat he used to call home. The decision was influenced by his wife, Laila Rouass, the former EastEnders and Footballers' Wives actress. The couple tied the knot in June, following an on-off relationship spanning 13 years, and just 10 months after reports emerged of their split. O'Sullivan revealed that Rouass wasn't keen on living in Sheffield, home to the iconic Crucible Theatre. Feeling that he had nowhere else to practice in the UK, relocating to either Spain or Dubai became the best option for the pair. The 49-year-old chose the latter, having launched a snooker academy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last year. The decision may have also stemmed from the UAE’s closer proximity to China, where many snooker tournaments are held. “It’s really good. I’ve got a great practice facility there, which was one of the main reasons for going,” O'Sullivan told The Sun. “I was struggling to find somewhere to play. It was either get a train up to Sheffield or try to move to Sheffield. But my wife wasn’t too keen on Sheffield. So she said we either go Spain or Dubai.

And, maybe for the customer as well - has to park 'miles away' and walk down a muddy towpath in the rain, looking for a boat called "Consultation"

I think it is 'tech for tech sake' without actually understanding the problem.

They all cost a fortune - taking advantage of the derranged ! That's fine if you have a Collie

Sadly some people have not yet evolved from the plant eating dinosaurs - you could say they have 'evolved' into a total different species to Homo Sapien.

You will also need to speak with the relevant navigation authority to find out what their requiremenst are for a 'commercial boat' (licence, safety certificates etc) in addition to insurance.

No2 Son's company processes between 12,000 and 15,000 deer carcases per annum - they ship all over the world. They have a fleet of trucks going all around Scotland (mainly the Highlands) picking up the culled carcases and taking back to the processing plant. Full traceability from "hill to plate"

Took them 20 years to decide to comply with the law. Who has complained ?

2019 dated document : Operating procedure for chemical toilet discharge The following factors should be observed for boats without on board cold water storage tanks. Static craft Static craft, permanently moored house boats and other residential permanently moored craft will be treated by local water undertakers in the same way as any other permanent domestic dwelling. Any permanent water connection to these vessels will need to be authorised by the local water undertaker and the final installation method would be inspected and approved accordingly in line with their respective new connections policies. Under no circumstances can a hose pipe be used as a permanent water connection. Moving craft with no water storage There are no circumstances in which a hose can be used as a permanent water connection to a mains drinking water standpipe. Mains water delivery systems may be used to fill water bottles and other small storage containers which can then be stored on the boat. When a Type DC backflow prevention device is fitted to the hose union rinse tap of an Elsan waste water discharge point, the hose must be no longer than 600mm. The end of the hose (discharge point) must finish a minimum of 150mm above the spill-over level of the receiving pan. This is so the end of the hose is not submerged in raw sewage (Fluid Category 5) which resides within the waste water discharge point. Recommended SOP 1. Turn on the controlling tap until a steady stream of water begins to flow through the DC backflow prevention device 2. Increase the flow rate of the controlling tap as required but not so much that it causes water to discharge through the DC backflow prevention device 3. Do not lift the end of the hose (discharge point) above the DC backflow prevention device whilst the controlling tap is turned on 4. Do not restrict the end of the hose pipe (such as by pinching it) when the controlling tap is turned on 5. Do not let the end of the hose pipe become submerged below the water level of the cassette as this may produce a restriction and cause water to discharge out of the DC backflow prevention device 6. Please be patient as the flow of water will be restricted by the DC device

That is open to interpretation, If you build the boat to the relevant ISO specifications then the builder has an automaticic assumption of RCD/RCR compliance and needs no further evidence. It the builder does not build to the ISO specs then he is required to show that his methods of build meet of all the 'essential requirements' by independant testing / proof that his methods comply. The ISO spec for fuel tanks states : Harmonised standard: BS EN ISO 10088:2013 Small craft - Permanently installed fuel systems BS EN ISO 21487:2012 Small craft - Permanently installed petrol and diesel fuel tanks The requirements for installation of a fuel system on a boat with fixed fuel tanks are given in the harmonised standard BS EN ISO 10088 Permanently installed fuel systems and BS EN ISO 21487:2012 Small craft - Permanently installed petrol and diesel fuel tanks. The requirement for petrol fuel tanks to be ‘insulated from the engine and all other sources of ignition’ is deemed to be complied with if a) the clearance between the petrol tank and the engine is greater than 100 mm and b) all electrical parts on the engine which could create a spark, and any other electrical components in the engine/fuel compartment, are ignition protected. To ensure that these components are ignition protected the boat builder should use a petrol engine that complies with BS EN ISO 15584 Inboard petrol engines - fuel and electrical system components (the engine manufacture should provide this confirmation) and for other parts, e.g. blower fan or electric bilge pump, use only components that have been CE marked in accordance with Annex II 1. The clearance between a petrol tank and any dry exhaust components must be greater than 250 mm, unless an equivalent thermal barrier is provided. For diesel engine installations, the engines used should comply with BS EN ISO 16147 Inboard diesel engines – Engine-mounted fuel and electrical components to ensure that the fuel components fitted on the engine by the engine manufacturer are safe. The engine manufacture should provide confirmation that the engine complies with this standard. Fuel hose used in the system must be fire resistant if used in the engine compartment and Where fuel hose is used the standard requires that only fire-resistant hose to BS EN ISO 7840 may be used in the engine compartment. Such hose should be stamped to indicate compliance It is also a requirement in BS EN ISO 21487:2012 that "If there is a drain in a diesel oil tank, it shall be fitted with a shut-off valve having a plug that can be removed only with tools. Each tank shall have an inspection hatch of at least 150 mm diameter. The inspection hatch shall, as a rule, be located on top of the tank, but for diesel oil tanks it may also be on the tank side. There shall be access to the inspection hatch when the tank is in position."

One of the best chip-shops in the world must be the one in Conway that cooks them in dripping - you cannot help but lick your lips.

I wonder how long before the padlock is 'lost' ?
