  1. That's what the pump looks like on Mintball. The cable bracket is fastened to the bolts for the CAV fuel filter. As you said, I suspect a lot of engines have their own custom made brackets
  2. Are the coils split to do half the tank each or are they both full tank coils. If the whole of the tank is hot and you power up the webasto does the calorifier coil return pipe get warm? On Mintball the engine heats the whole tank and the Optimus the top half. When the tank is hot and we turn the Optimus pump on the return line for that coil gets warm quite quickly
  3. Silly question but if the bore on the calorifier coil is big enough why not route the CH water through the coil on the way to the rads? I know it will mean that if you fire everything up from cold it will take longer for the rads to heat up
  4. Even bridge data gets out of date - just a lot slower than things like petrol stations, restaurants, pubs...
  5. Data rot is something that affects all canal apps/websites that contain anything that isn't purely historic.
  6. It seems to be using old data looking at the Web Version - Ladybird Moorings in Market Drayton haven't been Tom's Moorings since well before COVID, Starline haven't been at upton on severn marina for years either, and it seems to be missing quite a few bridges and locks, and doesn't have Norbury Wharf in either. Would have been interesting to try out its route planning but you apparently have to create an account and login to do that.
  7. You are trying to do too much with your app. If it's for navigation then why bolt any Victron functionality into it. I'm sure there are apps for managing Victron kit that are designed for just that purpose.
  8. I have no idea, not part of that group on FB. Does it matter if it's ad supported or not?
  9. So is that just another "This is is where I've been" system for CC's to prove they're not just bridge hopping or is it a full log system allowing you write whimsical musings about your day on the Walsall Canal?
  10. There are quite a lot of narrow locks that have a lot more than 20 foot free space with our 52 foot boat in them
  11. I'd heard that too, that they were basically trying to use it as an impromptu drydock
  12. Never tie up in a lock, by all means use ropes but they should never be tied, especially if going down
  13. CRT seem to show locks west of Wigan as 62 feet. Pretty sure that's wrong, unless they've shrunk since those were our home waters
  14. Yes, I think it was one of the wing walls, or a ledge that had narrowed it. Pretty sure it was discussed at length on here. Did BW/CRT ever formally notify about the, now fixed, issue at Hurleston
  15. I think there is quite a bit of level monitoring on the Llangollen due to its dual purpose
