Our shower room gets a bit cold in the winter and cannae stop the mould in the silicone between tiles 1. Used cheap white silicone for grout- mouldy 2. Used 2nd most expensive 'never go mouldy' silicone- mouldy 3. used the 8 quid, 10 year guarantee no mould super duper top of the range silicone- you know the rest...... any other ideas greatly appreciated - is silicone more prone to mould than regular grout? if it is, I may try grout instead. The walls are pretty solid so not much flex. many thanks Ed

Well if it stops me going to Burton I’ll definitely build one !

Thanks, Hadn’t thought much about the cruising limitations as we haven’t done much (yet) but I suppose it’s good to have the option. our Air draught is around 6ft

Hello, I'm considering popping a wheelhouse over my widebeam stern deck. Has anyone done similar with some nice pics etc? cheers Ed

yep I totally agree- That will prob be me .... I'll weld a little support this week

Should keep me for a little while anyway!

Well judging by the rest of the boat, the guy who built it did everything as quickly as poss:) Thanks for all the advice! I think putting a new 5/15 valve and short piece of pipe on is the best solution for me.

I like the idea of not draining the tank. Did that once before- a right old pain.

Ok I’ll give it a shot tomorrow, thanks very much for your help!

Which brings me to the question..,, can I use 8mm pipe, not sure that my chandlers will have 5/16?

Maybe a couple of turns but it definitely won’t go any further

No access to inside of a fuel tank.

The wheel turns ok and feels like it’s closed but doesn’t do anything. There’s definitely no space to turn the fitting. I like your idea re small length of pipe to a new fitting. my feeling is to leave the valve alone as it’s not going anywhere.

Sorry this is a rubbish pic I’ll take another when I’m back in around 15mins
