In my opinion, any article which says "amperage" instead of "current" is best ignored.

Is there owt worth watching to make the expense and effort worthwhile?

Are you going to say that to his face?

Sounds like you are over-fuelling. Have you cleaned the air filter? Oh sorry, wrong thread! ??

Accuracy (or more correctly resolution) is not the same as calibration ... But I may be preaching to the Pope here, not the choir!

Same for me. I guess it comes from my Electrical Principles tutor hurling his blackboard rubber at anyone who said "amperage"! ?

Whilst I am pleased to hear you survived the experience, I can't help recalling the old joke:

Ivw heard about canals being converted into railways, but not the other way round. ?

It was tied on the offside moorings above Cowley lock last time I saw it a couple of years ago, but was fitted with a full length cabin in about 1968 - and retained its 15hp Bolinder

Don’t know about your marina, but in ours the curtain twitching would be to see if you needed any help. But then we do have a first aid/first responder team here covering 24/7 and carrying an emergency phone which is texted by ambulance control whenever an ambulance or paramedic is tasked to the marina. Since I became ill, we’ve been overwhelmed with offers of support, lifts to and from hospital/GP surgery/pharmacy/shops/whatever. Anyway, glad it’s all’s well that ends well for you.

Did you type that on my phone? With my thumb?

It's the individual plastic wrappers with "warning, may contain nuts" on them that gets me!

Oooops !!! Thank you,

Glad to hear you were able to return home so quickly.

You obviously don't know I did my very best to volunteer to help run the site, but got totally blanked by Dan.

Not a good idea to suggest that to MtB !!! Stand by for incoming ……………………….

Hmm. Not sure but I guess they must have thought of that. Perhaps there's an indication on the triggered alarm.

You can get interlinked wireless co alarms so that if you is triggered, they all sound: https://www.screwfix.com/p/fireangel-w2-co-10xq-wireless-interlink-carbon-monoxide-alarm/8931d#product_additional_details_container

If you do get 'alerts' when running the engine or Webasto it shows that you need to do something (unless your engine compartment is hermetically sealed from the rest of the boat).

Please keep us updated on performance and longevity. I'm sure it will be of interest to many.

I've just ordered 2 x 252Ah Leoch Pure Lead Carbons from the Battery Store (Leoch's own shop, I believe), where they're priced at £450 each - so about 25% cheaper per amp hour than the 100Ah ones, if my maths is correct. I think the price might have dropped since you posted this though; I don't remember them being that cheap a month ago. They're still £590 each at Alpha Batteries. Suits me very well cos the 100Ah ones wouldn't quite have fitted in my battery locker.

Indeed - ISO 9000 is the biggest con to hit the whole world. All it says it that your manufacture is 'consistent' it does not say that you make 'high quality' products, but, the public perception is that an ISO 9000 company produce 'good quality goods'.

you could get a nice fresh shower for free - no installation required. just stand outside today.

The low warning light on an inverter may not come on until well below the recommended max battery discharge of 50%. It may well not illuminate until batts are down to well under 12.00v, effectively 100% discharged. Read the inverter manual to see if it states what voltage, and report back. Or just tell us the make and model of inverter. To fully recharge a properly flat battery would typically take about 12 hours of engine running, depending on myriad factors like capacity of battery, output of alternator, engine running speed etc etc...

Why, have you found some floating?

Indeed it would be!! Shame about the hotels. Would stop peeps from coming by car. Or bike. Or walking.....

Wrong old sport. Hull is a river. Kingston upon Hull is a city.

Take a look at post #7 in this thread. I think I might have one of those regulators kicking about. Maybe that could get the charging voltage down far enough. @Sir Nibble?

It’s to stop the boat drifting away .....
