It looks like it did extend, at the start of the month. We’re now debating the rate.

it means to turn it over by hand and feel how it resists. That’s good but if you’re guessing at parts and replacing them instead of diagnosing the issue, it will get expensive.

It’s exclusive that night though…..it’s not like anyone else could moor there.

If the above two posts are to be taken as correct, then it points to something wrong with the installation of the starter, and/or a (partly) seized engine. Using the principles of checking what's easiest first, I'd suggest next step is to bar over the engine. (If you can't do this, or you don't know what a "normal" engine should feel like for resistance when its done, there is little value in yourself doing so). The other possibility - incorrect starter installation - has so many variables that its not worth going into them just yet (without sight of the engine it would be a guessing game).

I can start a new thread on topics of my choosing. Can you?

The danger with these kinds of articles (and this forum post) is that if they "cry wolf" too many times, when something important DOES actually come along, people will ignore them. This has to an extent already happened with NBW and its widely ignored, as evidenced above.

Would a smaller network automatically be a worse network? Maybe its due a "right-sizing" (playing Devil's Advocate).

I assumed from the OP that DIN mounting size (and probably ISO wiring harness already there), based on "use the same slot in the wood bulkhead". If steering away from fixed mounting, then a bluetooth speaker would be a good option.

AIUI they voluntarily cooperate with the FOI request scheme anyway - ever since they were CRT, there has been no requirement to do so anyway. Maybe they'll just stop doing them altogether?

I am not familiar with their current range but in the past I’ve had 2 Alpine stereos and they’ve been easy to use and good quality.

Alpine

They are a landlord to many properties too.

Didn't NBW have some other person (Allan ??????) who submitted a string of FOI requests, resulting in him being marked as a vexatious requester and CRT not needing to further communicate with him? It just seems like a fishing expedition, with no public interest value.

The charge is for not having a home mooring for >6 months - which is a different thing.

Indeed true - I believe there are 2 styles of how EOG mooring fees for online moorings are collected. One is where the mooring provider has an overall agreement with CRT, and one where they don't (so the boater pays EOG fees directly). I don't know the situation on Arthur, or his friends, mooring to know which is in force there.

He's either retained his home mooring or he hasn't. And........it IS the business of CRT what the farmer does with the mooring. In the above case, if a farmer is renting out 11 moorings (or the length equivalent of 11) and the contract he has with CRT is for 10 moorings, then he is in breach of that contract with CRT. Unless its some weirdly exceptional contract or a marina with a prior agreement than with NAA, I'm pretty sure every marina which requires a boater to have a CRT licence as part of the T&Cs of its contract, requires it from the beginning of the mooring agreement.

I think you're confusing things here. If someone takes a mooring for 5 months, they have a home mooring. That CRT are using a "6 months" rule for determining when a boater pays a surcharge, if they spend part of the year as a CCer and part of the year as a home moorer, is another separate issue. What would be the avenue it would go to court on? CRT can charge what they like on differentiating licence fees. Who is "they" in the above?

But CRT don't require the licence there. The marina operator requires you have a CRT licence.
