    HI All,

     

    HNY!

     

    We have a vanette oven and grill. when we bought the boat in the summer we were told by the previous owner that it needed a new thermocouple. 6 months on and i finally bought one and fitted it! Sadly though it still doesn't work!! Bugger. It doesn't matter how long I keep the button pushed in, when I release it the grill turns off. Frustrating, especially as this probably means that the thermocouple i just pulled out was still working.

     

    Does anyone have any ideas what might be the problem? The thermocouple is new so nice and clean and no fat/oil deposits. The tip of it is in the flame of the burner when it is on. Not sure what else I can do?

     

    Cheers!


    The company that make Vanette products went bust 4 years ago so spares are like hens teeth, so I am told.

  7. Carpet advice required please Guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    in Boat Equipment

    Posted

    I have decided to replace the worn/ faded carpets on my newly aquired n/b.

     

    When I started taking the old one up I found there had been no underlay used, it was laid directly onto the wooden floor.

    As this was a professional fit out, i was wondering if this was for a specific reason or just an oversight or cost cutting reasons.

     

    I have purchased some new special thermal underlay ready to re-carpet.But should I lay a layer of heavy duty polythene down

    first, I was told to use news paper but would that not retain moisture/ damp.

     

    Please can anyone advise or share their experiences..................

     

    Many Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

  13. N/b Boat Owners Manual format

    in Boat Equipment

    Posted

    Hi

    Yes the boat is over 5 years old and I do have all the info and documentation required, its just contained in so many different documents I wish to

    organise it into a single document format. And was wondering if there is a standard format for such a document.

     

    Regards and Respectfully

  15. N/b Boat Owners Manual format

    Thank you thats great. I appreciate the reply.

    Not sure if I am asking for the right thing. I want to produce a document which contains all the spec for the boat, ie a boat spec manual.

    So at a glance I have the relevant info in an easy to read format instead of going thro a mountain of paper work and brochures. plus as you point out to

    keep copies of the documentation you mentioned.

     

    Regards
