  1. About a year ago my exhaust leaked and soot got into my wardrobe ruining most of my clothes causing about £5 worth of damage. My exhaust pipe is tightly clipped and obviously there is movement on the engine, the original pipe allows very limited movement I am thinking of replacing it with a more flexible pipe. Does anyone know what temperature these flexis allow or can anyone advise on a better way of solving this problem.
  2. Thanks all. I bolted a couple of bits of aluminium over the plastic. Cassette now operable, I am going to spend the £100 I saved on a new outfit for the good lady wife apparently. FML. 🤨
  3. Apparently this part is not available but they can sell me a cassette for £100. I think these people underrate how cheap I am. once this is bolted up the cassette will see me out. 😎
  4. Does anyone know of a contact number for unusual spare parts? I have broken the arm that the sealing disc sits on and I don’t really want to throw the whole cassette away. This is on my spare, spare C200 cassette so it is not currently a crisis.
  5. Sorry I took so long in replying, I would be very interested in this chaps number. im not a great believer in sweating if someone will sweat for me at a reasonable cost. Jim
  6. I bought a boat last year chuffed with it but the canopies are huge. The canopy is old but in good nick but needs some serious cleaning. It is a hard canvas and has green algae forming on the edges. I am looking for advice on how to clean it as I have been told to avoid chemicals at all cost. Does anyone do a cleaning service or is that the lazy way out? TIA. Jim
  7. I need to make a new swanneck/ tiller arm. I believe the standard size tube used is 38mm tube. has anyone else done this and if so how did you form the bends? Failing that who could I get to make one and roughly how much would it cost?
  8. If you are going to common the tanks you should arrange to fill in one and draw from the second to minimise the chance of any water stagnating as should be done in domestic plumbing.
  9. I have scraped the scale rust in my bilge and ordered vactan from eBay, once treated is Hammerite hammered finish paint a worthwhile option as a topcoat?
  10. Only problem is nowhere to mount it other than into the boat.
  11. I have an unusual cratch, it is quite large and has a steel roof and enclosed with a vinyl panelled canopy. My problem is condensation, I was thinking of putting in a solar powered fan to try and circulate air in the periods I am not at the boat. Anyone got any ideas that would help?
  12. This is quite confusing. Why doesn't the owner go and secure the boat or at least claim the damn thing.
  13. Had my boat hull tested when I bought it 4 years ago and was happy with the results. I am lucky in that I can get my boat out of the water easily to black it myself. Has anyone else bought one of these testers, for testing your own boat. If so what one did you buy or am I being silly?
  14. As a plumber of a certain age, might I say I detest platic pipe with a passion. It is for DIYers and people who cant solder properly. What did I use on my boat? Plastic pipe and pushfit fitings it is a no-brainer, just use loads of clips and hide as much as you can.
