I do not get that option with my phone: there is no button to the left of the address button to click, and I am not given the option of "proceed to site" when trying to access this forum, although I can "proceed anyway" on others. Going incognito works, for the present anyway.

I can count on one hand the number who I have seen do that this trip and I have not been to any big cities. also a few who said thank you to the pedestrians that got out of their way

Yes there are other modified polymer alternatives to sikaflex these days and they're just as good and readily available in outlets like Screwfix. Stixall, CT1, Sticks like Sh*t and The Dog's Bollox (I kid you not!). They're all really good and I think they're all available in clear which really helps with the clean up. Key both mating surfaces first, wipe over with a dab of white spirit on a clean cloth and bed your metal to the wood with the sealant/adhesive. Clean up with white spirit or wet wipes before the sealant/adhesive goes off.

Yes, from the point of view it can "vanish", I agree. However, the AC203 is a self-excitation alternator, ie not designed to lose its rotor magnetism. What I've found so far on remanence loss points to electrical issues, such as reverse current. Hence the want for schematics, manuals etc.

oh thats great to here, i'm glad you're enjoying following it! As a special treat, here's todays efforts, tackwelding the rest of the gunwhales and the internal upstand into position, its great to be able to see the curvy shape of the hull finally appearing..... enjoy!

There is Lister range numbered LPA3, LPA4 etc I wonder if it is one of those. My Lister manual covers the LPA3, LPA4 as well as the LPWS3, LPWs4 etc, LPWT3 ........... I think it is probably an LPW4 A (rotation) and 48 (build), but having said that .............. But - Could it be an LPA4 48 ? With the '48' being the build specification ? Engine Serial Number The engine serial number is stamped on a plate attached to the engine. It is necessary to identify the type and build of each engine to enable the correct maintenance procedures, as described later in this publication, to be carried out. An example number is shown below. 03 00123 LPW3 A 01 03 ............ Year of manufacture code (03 = 2003) 00123 ...... Consecutive number of engine LPW3 ...... Model (T = turbocharger, S = indirect injection) G = gas fuelled) A .............. Anticlockwise rotation 01 ............ Build of engine 01.4.3 Marine Builds Marine engines are designated Builds 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49. In general 'Alpha' marine propulsion engines are designed for the following applications. LPA - leisure and commercial craft. LPW - workboats and commercial craft. LPWT - workboats and commercial craft. LPWS - canal boats.

Yes😂 but you can get flexible high temp silicon that will replace pre-formed hoses at alot less price

A nice job, and you have chosen an almost identical colour scheme that which we chose for Helvetia:-

Had my last two boat safety inspections done there

A great map find when doing the Glamorgamshire canal,there's 16 of these. @Heartland @Pluto @magpie patrick

Some might, but not the best - they use beef dripping. Imho, obvs - but also imho the chip shops that seem to win punters votes in the awards are those who major on quantity rather than quality, so I suspect the coconuts will also be beaten by the pile 'em high merchants.

Yes, I see that now

Ah! Didn't know about that one. Sorry for misleading @Nightwatch.

I'd have quite the temper if someone lit a fire on me too

Looks like a cut and shut to me.....

That may be why on mine the long fixed sliders on the roof are stainless steel, and the plastic ones are strips under the hatch where they can't move or buckle because they're confined...
