It will still work whichever canal has the higher water level.

We've got the triangular mounts and the tops sit lower than the top of our roof box and that has been under all the bridges on the Stratford with no issues. Edited to add: I can't seem to find a picture to check at the moment but I think they're only an inch or so above the top of our pigeon box.

Ok, I’m not going to argue but she’s quite clearly in the 2nd photo.

Lucy is under the marquee framework, behind the small piece of fence panel. She’s still there.

Nice roll and pint and a good choice of pub 👍

@Bosley Dave I'm happy it worked and you could figure it out from my description 😀 We just take the fuses out for 10 seconds or so at a time which seems to be enough to reset the display.

I'm nowhere near the boat at the moment but I may have a photo somewhere which I'll try to dig out later. On ours there are two glass fuses (I don't know the fuse rating) in holders connected to the leisure batteries. I think one on the positive and one on the negative terminal of the bank. We just disconnect each of them and reconnect them. The display on the panel will go off and then start flashing the voltage when you reconnect them. It stops flashing after a while and the lights do what they're meant to. We usually do it when the lights are showing red or amber but the batteries have been on charge hooked up in the marina and the voltage reads as it should. We then get green lights on the display as they should be.

Obviously large steering inputs are required when you've been looking at the scenery/birds/clouds/phone and you glance up and you realise you're heading for the trees 😁

As constructed it would have had an approx. 8mm bottom and 6mm sides (5/16" and 1/4" respectively) and unless it has had a lot of work done those figures are likely to be a lot less now.

We've got the same setup as the OP. Every now and then our display throws a wobbly. We take the fuses out of wires connecting it to the battery and put them back in again which seems to reset the panel. Might be worth a try. Oh, and we have chosen to ignore the 'battery remaining' lights as we've come to the conclusion they just lie. Using the battery voltage display is a better indication of the battery status.

Smaller tiller movements when cruising is still the best way to do things. I've followed boats where they've been using a lot more tiller movements than me and they are noticeably slower around the bends. A lot of people put in a large movement then counteract it to stop the boat turning when the boat has turned the required amount, I even used to do it. The key is to not oversteer and just move the tiller enough to do what you want. It just comes with experience.

That one was in more or less the same position on the 2nd March when we passed it. I can't see that would be any fun going through the Braunston Tunnel or any bridges to be honest.

I've not heard of any fires lately, where are they?

Have a look for one of these outside somewhere.
