Mine is the BD3 tug engine

On my Beta tug engine I use stationary engine paint from craftmaster. I have used mid brunswick green which they say is the same colour as Lister use. It is a good match

If we are running the engine to do the washing then we will run it in the morning otherwise our clothes will shrink !!

Balsa is a hardwood

Ours has 25% Alphi 11. Works fine

Thanks NMEA I knew you would have a definitive answer and posted that fact but appears to have got lost in yesterday's forum blackout. What's the ignition temp for varnish though

We have used the Lea Sanitation manual pump out kit and it worked fine

I did. He did say he'd have words with him but I bet he doesn't.

Having just been hit twice by a canal time boat whilst moored on the visitor mooring opposite Alvechurch boat yard I am not surprised. Not a hirer but staff were in charge of the boat. No apology or nothing. When I had a go at him his manager told me not to abuse his staff !!!!

Mine is mounted in the engine room but mounted against the skin tank. The metal part of the body defiantly gets hot. Can you not space it out away from the lining. Or put something to protect the lining

Having just completed the Droitwich canals may I say that you should be proud of your work and many thanks.

Sorry I can't help went through Banbury in the 60's

which supplier are you thinking of ?

I went to the Braunston show in 1999 and remember looking at the Hudson show and was interested in one at the time, but in September 1999 I bought a proper boat and now don't like the look of Hudson boats. Its not so much the fronts but the rear end that looks wrong. The hulls all seem to do a weird thing about where the engine room doors are on a pure traditional. Hard to explain.

The biggest problem I have with our defra approved Ekol Clarity 5 is getting it go out
