  1. The safety notice as you step on board is brilliant.
  2. That might even be the same boat I was on. Yep, all driven by the water itself.
  3. We took a trip along here in July last year. Has anyone else been? A fantastic alternative to building locks.
  4. Thanks, much appreciated.
  5. Interesting thanks. Sorry I don't have a link to hand but shall add it when I do. Think I'm just going to bite the bullet and get a new one. Any thoughts on the Cointra range? Thanks all David
  6. Cheers chaps. It was installed by a qualified person. To my eye it wasn't mounted off vertical and the boat isn't tilted. It's a water heater for the sink and shower, not an engine heater. The only maintenance done is removing the cover, vacuuming out the dust and flushing it with limescale remover, every 6 months or so, It was purchased from, and recommended by, a reputable boat yard. They did say it was new to the market.
  7. Just under 3 years old. Is there anything other than crappy construction material that would cause this? Thanks for all input.
  8. Thanks. Cheers, In that case I might just stick with the paint itself as it's a complete overpaint.
  9. Thank you, don't know why that happened.
  10. I usually give the boat a couple of coats of paint every 2 years. Due to circumstances I'm a bit late starting this year and the weather has started to change. The paint I'm using is oil based, which takes up to 24 hours to cure. Not ideal, but is there an additive I can add to the paint to speed up the drying a bit? Cheers David

  12. We made 2 of these for the tops of our gas lockers 10 years ago. Shells were collected in Wales.
  13. Wow, so now I'm a curtain twitcher, care to explain how you reached this conclusion? For what it's worth the photos were taken from my deck, I probably spend more time there than sitting inside. Amazingly I'm not surprised that rather than address the issue, IE: the safety issue caused, interfering with navigation and someone taking it upon themselves to illegally remove signs, I am being ridiculed for reporting it.
  14. First photo taken at around 16.30, not long after he arrived. I took it because I saw him eyeing out the No Mooring sign. Second photo taken at around 08.30 the following day. No photoshop involved, I cropped the pictures to remove the grey boat and pedestrians. The patch of grass may look strange to you but that is due to his exhaust smoke. His engine is running. Since this is in London, there are lights everywhere and it never gets too dark to see what is happening 50 feet away. The sign is there because this is opposite moorings, when boats are moored here it is not possible for the boats on the mooring to get in or out.
