  1. I wonder why your default position is so frequently rudeness and scorn?

  2. Ah....I see Well in a thread which has stayed broadly on topic for four pages and on which the OP expressed his thanks for the many helpful contributions, your "plain speaking" seems to have contributed absolutely nothing.

  13. Well actually only a few types of older engines are air cooled, (e.g. Lister H series, Armstrong AS types etc), and probably more are water cooled. However the water cooling is often raw water, not skin tank, making heating domestic water more of a challenge, but not impossible. Not to everybody's taste, but the Beta JD3 or BD3 tug engine is often considered as looking not out of place in an engine room, and being "modern". Many think they don't really replicate a truly traditional sound though.

  14. bring the stern in, pop off and put a short (about 1-2 metres) rope from the stern to the bank (using mooring chain or nappy pin on pilings). Get back on, and put into forward gear on tickover, and the front will slowly come into the bank. Of course, this assumes you have pilings to moor to, and there is enough space to come in like that, and not bash a boat, that you can hop off fairly quickly, and attach the mooring pin to the pilings, etc... However, with a bit of practice, and an already made up short rope attached to said pin and a loop the other end, its quite efficient. Boatman types quicker than me

  19. your secrets safe with me i won't tell i was there in 1987 so i may have shown you through the boat or brought you back into the yard on your return! at that time we had 21 boats hiring. we could only get 18 in the basin so a couple would be turned and put out early so we could get the last ones in to fuel and water.
