Paul C

I’ll happily admit my moral standpoint is to remain within the law. If you live outside the law, then life becomes interesting. I guess, “don’t do the crime unless you can do the time” might be a good mantra to live by. As a CMer there is always the possibility of licence non renewal, s.8, etc

Can you give an example of a solution to “the problem “ which is savoury?

I am not sure if you meant MtB or the non-moving boater as the idiot. If the non-moving boater hadn't taken the piss quite so blatantly, the observing home moorers might not have become so disgruntled (and felt like an idiot), and the genuine CCer might not have suffered with the CCer surcharge. Who's the root cause of the "issue" here?

It’s not about “how far do I have to move?” That style of question illustrates that they’re after a minimum, so unlikely to be on a bona fide cruise.

They can’t break the law just because of a lack of moorings in their particular chosen area.

The level of fine is already enshrined in legislation, I think it’s £10/day though, not £150

I am surprised you would choose to dismiss others’ observations along their path, because it’s one of those things that’s impossible for one person alone to gather a wide view of. You’d either have to accept their views or concede you don’t have an overall picture. As I said before, what exactly is “the problem”?

I suspect tracker is a non-starter. What is the “problem “ the tracker will “solve”? 1984?

Would need more primary law. If CRT were to table, and get time for, more law they’d probably try eliminate CCing as it’s too burdensome to administer

It already is......

There are definitely boating communities but there isn't one unified (or even a vague majority view) boating community.

It looks like it did extend, at the start of the month. We’re now debating the rate.

it means to turn it over by hand and feel how it resists. That’s good but if you’re guessing at parts and replacing them instead of diagnosing the issue, it will get expensive.

It’s exclusive that night though…..it’s not like anyone else could moor there.

If the above two posts are to be taken as correct, then it points to something wrong with the installation of the starter, and/or a (partly) seized engine. Using the principles of checking what's easiest first, I'd suggest next step is to bar over the engine. (If you can't do this, or you don't know what a "normal" engine should feel like for resistance when its done, there is little value in yourself doing so). The other possibility - incorrect starter installation - has so many variables that its not worth going into them just yet (without sight of the engine it would be a guessing game).
