Thank you for your post yesterday. If possible I would like to hear of any response or update. Ta. -
Spotted today on the grauniad app. There appears to be a good job in the offing, with a choice of office.

Our Barrus Shire 45 was brand new in 2015 which had a small hiccup. We called Barrus and they put me on to their travelling engineer who sorted it pronto.

Thanks for the info Hudds Lad. Further to our post yesterday we’re well clear of the VLCC.
-
Most grateful for info. Yeah Tewkesbury Junction near Midland Swindler’s lol.

I’ve just arrived North Oxford, poor timing we know. Any updates on the fat boat move expected - all day? - tomorrow please? Also; I can’t seem to find a Twitter account for CRT. Very grateful for any help please. Thanks.

Many thanks for all your very helpful replies

Since that very hot two days Mon/Tue our gas regulator appears to have thrown a wobbler and I can smell gas in the locker. There’s hardly any gas getting through to the hob so we’ve switched everything off. One full tank and one in use..We intend arriving Banbury today so some recommendations please.
-
We think this is the cause of the Griff Brook, where CRT pump water from, running dry. The building works site is huge.

Another vote for blogger. Apart from the pandemic we've done a blog every year April to October since 2013. Family and friends worldwide check in every day. We post two photos with a pithy title and a short irreverent paragraph each day.

Thank you for replying. What usually takes less than an hour took over 20. Settled down at 10pm last night.

Here’s an update. The charger is still flashing but the charger is not running but making a faint clicking noise. Usually when the charger stops the light remains steady and the unit is quiet. It charged the BT battery up to 15.2 volts this morning.
-
Thanks for replying. The battery is 110Ah and I regret I don’t know how to measure the amps. The battery is isolated over winter as was our previous one, which lasted 6 years. (The covid layup did for it). In previous years the charger goes into float after about half an hour. We switched it off overnight and the battery read 13.4 volts this morning.
-
Advice please. We are preparing our boat after winter lay-up on shore power. The Mastervolt charger has been on and flashing for five hours whilst charging the (new July 2022) BT battery, which is reading 14.5 volts at present. It’s never run for that time before so what’s going on? Unless we’ve missed something the manual isn’t of much help. Grateful for suggestions/advice/help thanks.

I think that's a disaster. Just saying.

Our new build in 2015 has a Barrus Shire 45. No problems so far and very quiet. Chose the 45 for the big alternator and power for the river. However, the manual recommends run at max load for 15 minutes every 50 hours to burn off stuff which can be a bit of a pain as we just like tootling around unless we're on the river. It has a tendency to be a bit smokey.

We wish that CRT would reinstate the visitor moorings at New Mills. It's a lovely town and area to visit.
-
We got away in July until winter layup at end of October and we had a wonderful time if a bit wet. Happy New Year everybody and thanks to the mods. As soon as the clocks change we intend heading off again fingers etc crossed.

Thanks atgordon, quite an ambitious October trip.

Many thanks for valuable replies and sorry for not saying why it needs replacing. It is embarrassingly damaged.
