Hi , I have two co 1 alarms on nb, this year, I had problems with Morso stove. Kept on getting smoke blowing back into boat. tried a few different ways to stop it. Eventually found the problem , and sorted it with a cowl on top of chimney. All good. however when trying to sort it unsuccessfully initially, my alarm went off during the night. Well one did the other didn’t but was showing a lower reading. Since then I have been keeping an eye on the more sensitive alarm. It reads between 18 and 27, the higher reading causes headaches and I have to open windows overnight, 18 is usually the morning reading. is this normal .? should it be 0 all the time ? Had the stove 9 years, never noticed a problem before, but never monitored it before. would be interested in others findings and views.

Have a look on “ latelink” they are usually a bit cheaper and you can have a look at lots of different hire bases and routes they show on there all over the country.

There is always loads of spaces, don’t book it too early, see what the weather is gonna be like, not a fun trip if too windy.

The glass does crack with time, doubt it’s the door rope.getting the new glass in is a bit tricky with new rope, and getting the sliding catches to hold it in. Use pliers to slide them back in to place.

There is so many new boaters on the canals in last couple of years, then I have seen in last ten years, so lots of people learning. U may be on utube if u pass them.

Considering your starting point, I would choose towards bath, particularly if it’s still raining down there.

About two weeks in winter, about one week to ten days in summer.

18mm synthetic hemp works for me.off e bay.

There are bow thruster alarms separate from engine alarms, don’t believe all advise on here.

Hi, just to revisit this in case someone has the same problem in the future. It was the bow thruster alarm, and there are two separate alarms in the plinth. The problem was a faulty controller switch.

Ok thanks.

Hi, whilst reversing recently, I hit something underwater with prop. Felt like something hard, like a small log, or maybe a fender. Anyway, took it out of gear straightaway, let it settle and then engaged slow forward, fine no problem. I was stopping for fuel etc. Anyway after starting up again I have got this tiller shake like something is on the prop. Stopped again looked at prop just some rope, which I got off, and continued journey, but no change continues to shake like something on prop, or low water level. As I was returning way I came, and hadn’t noticed the vibration earlier, that was a week ago, still getting this vibration. I know at this time of year , leaves etc, but it is continuous , I am wondering could I have damaged something. Propeller seems stable. What should I check for, if anything ?

Great thank you for answers. Previous owner must have removed it.

Whilst getting stove ready , and cleaning around and behind it, I found this metal rounded plate. No idea how long it has been there or has it fallen off the fire ?

It’s a double flu.

That pic is taken in the depths of winter, when it’s really cold. I’m a live aboard approaching my eighth winter on boat. Yeah, a reflective shield is what I’m looking for recommendations for. But want to put it on the walls rather than flu. Thanks.

I found the Montgomery canal a bit boring, wouldn’t do it again, but glad you enjoyed it, nice diary.

That’s what it looks like now, I just need some reflective foil, so which is best to buy ?

As it was last winter

I took that bubble wrap type stuff off and replaced it with kitchen foil which worked ok last winter, but would like something a bit better

Hi, the boat is an Aqualine, 15 years old, passed conformity on boat safety cert, even though I mentioned it to the examiner. Walls get too hot for my liking, and I have been using extra protection, plus radiating heat. Hence my question, sorry I never made that clear.

Will this be good to stop my walls getting hot. Last year I just used tin foil , which worked but doesn’t look good. FIBERGLASS CLOTH 1.5mmX1M Visit the VITCAS Store £29.00£29.00 Our gift to you.
