  1. I just saw 105 mentioned as battery type ,thought he may have brought a 6v battery ie trojen which would cause the issues .
  2. Is the new battery (105) a 12v or 6v variety
  3. It an isolated canal so ccing back and forth the only option
  4. Over filling and releasing excess water maybe the reason Miss read your post so ignore the overfilling comment
  5. I've stopped at bridge holes on hearing a horn a few times then wait ages for the boat to appear ,I think a few use the horn to give them selves right of way.
  6. When I fitted my new plastic tank I put all fitting thru the top as was the tank it replaced.seems less chance of contents emptying into boat .
  7. Are there any rumours of supply improving,just switch over To my last bottle 3.9 propane which will be ok for about 2 weeks,so no panick yet,but was panicking before setting off on this 4 week trip and had to do a drive around looking for refills
  8. Some cookers come with different jets and instructions how to convert. You change the jets in the burners and I had to remove control knobs to access adjustment for flame hieght on low or simmer setting.all settings given in detail in the instructions
  9. Didnt spot that one,just assumed mobile use but it is specific about not using in boats a caravan. I suppose it's because of boats and caravans can be very close to each other and interfere with nieghbours maybe
  10. I have been googling this subject because at some locations I need to go outside of boat ,ok with warm sunshine ,to get any internet or calls. There are booster for cell phones but ofcom made some illegal ,so they are for sale online but you need to check it's the legal type .if advertised as open to any network it's the naughty type and can cause interference. Legal ones are setup for the network u use. I dont have one so not sure there any good ,and my info is just what i picked up with 1/2 hours googling
  11. Once the stoves lit you will be looking to remove the excess heat that soon builds up ,I'd allow good air flow in bilge area ,if it gets any water down there it will be easier to dry out.if using laminate or carpet flooring u could fit underlay first
  12. When I had a dish I set it up then glued a spirit level bubble (just the glass part) so that you can quickly adjust the up/down part then a compass to find south then slowly turn dish till u hear the tv come alive .didnt have signal finder .

  13. Since freeview upped the power and closed analogue tv ,I dismantled the freesat as simple omni antenna and amp lifier work well enough ,and simple to just raise pole ,and return if moving to new transmitter
  14. Drop down on the weaver ,a nice relaxing week
  15. Theres 2 sats very close to each other and easy to point to the wrong one ,so will show a signal on ur meter but wont decode
