Boating technical help sites

[Gary Peacock]

I am working on a project (Fortunately not involving the RCD for once!) that I need to compile a list of good boating technical website links for engines, electrics, plumbing, painting or anything else relevant to working on your boat.

 

So over to you for any suggestions.

 

These can range from the DIY to heavy going, it doesn't really matter what aspect they cover or if they are individuals or company sites.

 

The finished project should be quite high profile, If you have a nice fit out site or blog I can include those too.

 

Cheers

Hi Gary

 

I suppose these are two obvious ones

 

http://www.tb-training.co.uk

http://www.smartgauge.co.uk

 

Lots of useful information on both sites.

Oh and as we seem to spend lots of time "discussing" batteries and the charging thereof.

 

http://www.batteryfaq.org

 

There's enough here to keep Gibbo and Chris going for weeks.

when I started planning I found many useful links on Ian's (Elessina) site http://www.barging.co.uk/

[Gary Peacock]

Thanks for those.

 

Anybody got anymore?

Yeah what about http://www.canalworld.net/forums

Gary - not a link to a page with manuals as such - but this could be useful link for those looking for manuals for some offbeat stuff

 

Thames Vintage Boat Club

 

I mean, where else could you find a manual for example "Gardner Reversing & Reduction Gears 2UC types 3 and 4" ?

 

I don't know if they'll photocopy the manual for 'outsiders' but it's got to be worth a try if there's no other source of info

 

I'll see if there are any more in my bookmarks later...
