Thanks for your input.

Hi I have an old Smev LPG cooker and one of the burners doesn't stay on when releasing.the knob. Any ideas on the prob and can it be fixed.

Ok. So not sure what's going on with my inverter. It's a Mastervolt mass combo 12/1200_60 for the record. I've been using it every day for the past couple of weeks to use with a sander prior to painting boat. Then 2 days ago it fired up for a couple of seconds then went off and didn't come back on. It's done the same thing twice more , the lights come on briefly then go off even when the engine was turned on. I thought the batteries might not be holding a charge so turned everything off to check voltage. So at 10 pm the charge was 12.8 and 7 am the following morning they were still 12.8.v I disconnected the solar panels and the batteries from each other and checked them individually and they were all 12.9v. So my question is . Batteries or inverter on the blink. Anyone.?

Ok , so, cruising down Oxford towards Thames and then Kenney and Avon to Bath. Is it worth the trip to Lechlade or give it a miss. Any thoughts or tips on cruise. 56ft NB.

Thank you both for your input. Because the sensor cable has been served will I need to replace it.

Hi I have a mastervolt inverter charger and recently noticed that the temperature sensor wire had somehow been severed. When traced back to the engine bay I found that it wasn't connected to anything but on the end there was a small box marked battery. The inverter seems to work perfectly well although the starter battery to the Mastervolt generator has gone flat. So my question is. Does this sensor cable have any bearing on the inverter performance.?

Hi Richard It's a mastervolt whisper 3.5 about 7 years old. I'm not too bothers about a new battery as I can jump start off my engine starter battery, so I'm happy to know your panel wasn't affected. Thanks for your reply.

Although the battery on my whisper generator is only a year old it's not holding a charge. I was told that the control/ display panel would go blank and have to be reset if it doesn't receive a charge within a week or so. Does anyone know if this is the case.

Thanks jellybeano ,all sounds positive.

Thanks NB Eclipse.We need to stay 3 nights before going into Stanley docks on Monday. Your advice is priceless.

Going into Liverpool link shortly but hoping to moor up before entry to dock. Can't get any information from c&rt about eldonian moorings but have suggested I stay at litherlands visitor moorings. Has anyone had any experience of this.

There are a lot of responsible dog owners out there. My issue is specifically with joggers with dogs. They run ahead to leave the dog to catch up and have no idea what the dogs up to.

I thought that might get your attention. But I don't mean that type of dogger I'm talking about joggers with dogs (doggers).How on earth can they clean up after their pets when they jog a100 yards in front of them, they hav'nt got a clue what their pets are depositing on the tow path, and therefore no intention of picking the crap up. Put the dogs on a lead and as soon as their dog stop for a crap it'll stop them in their tracks, and hopefully they will clean up.

Thanks folks, all useful tips.Solar it is then.
