Hello everyone, as you can see i am fairly new to the forum, although have been reading it for a while. Have been holidaying with my family on hire boats 2-3 times a year for a few year's and think the next step to boat ownership can only be a year or so away, weather we buy outright or get involved with a boat share is still up for debate. But thats not my question for today, just wanted to introduce myself as is the first time i have started a topic. I want to take out a subsciption to a canal/narrow boat magazine wonder'd which one's you would recomend.

Buried ships containers is quite old skool. Any regular broadsheet reader or radio 4 listener would know this!

I would have thought the correct answer would be "thankfully not"

Master Tomsk this grasshopper wonder's will the advances in new LED PAR technology catch up with the high lumen HID's

"Canal water" don't BW supply much cleaner handy watering point's?

 

LED would be the way to go, available now from your local hydro shop. What about a trad style working boat? Canvas could be rolled back to use the natural power of the sun at the right time/place

[using a voltmeter to find electric loss]

is there anywhere i can find out how to use a voltmeter? I have one and can use it to check fuses and current so i am not a novice but need to know more.

my batteries seem to be going flat without any use of them. i didnt leave the lights on etc. so i want to go to the fuse board and disconnect each circuit in turn and see if there is a fault. so if i am holding a red and black wire connected to lets say a bilge pump what should i do ?

if you disconect main supply cable from your battery you can conect your multi meter or volt meter between terminal and cable and should read zero, if you get a reading there is a voltage drain which you can then check by pulling fuses untill you find the problem one, then just have to check each device on that fuse
