I went through with a “7 footer” yesterday afternoon with no issues, apart from picking up a discarded side fender round the propeller between Locks 3 and 4.

Which one do you use?

Thank you … although a difficult situation for you it will help focus the responses.

Perhaps you could clarify or declare your interests in inland waterways craft financing. Are you a lender, a borrower or part of a professional services company e.g. legal, insurance, debt collection etc ? Clarity may instigate some relevant responses. All these groups are represented on this forum in one way or another.

You may be referring to Geoff at the Anson Engine Museum. https://enginemuseum.org/ He provided all the original client order details and dates for my engine in return for a small donation to the museum coffers ....

FWIW, mine are clear powder-coated. There has been some degradation since 2008 but not enough to justify refurbishment at the moment.

These links may help clarify things for you .... https://www.5gantenna.co.uk/5g-router-antennas/zyxel-nr5103/ and https://www.3grouterstore.co.uk/product-category/5g-antennas/4x4-mimo-5g-antennas/

Probably Kolor Kut paste or similar....

We moored in NWM1 and my travelling companion moored in NWM2 last week. The other bookable moorings were unoccupied for the two days but other random boats were moored on other moorings. I was disappointed that we had to use mooring pins (with plenty of buried concrete!) due to the lack of rings/spacing of the existing mooring rings. I would describe the arrangements as "no frills". You will need to fill up with water by the cafe, before dropping down into the basin or on the Weaver if using the MSC. If you need an Elsan, that's hidden behind a portacabin on the opposite side to the cafe. One plus point was finding "Home and Dry Laundry" just up the road. A friendly and quality service at decent rates and turned around in less than 24 hours.

You could start by trawling through this lot until a plumber arrives ..... https://www.bes.co.uk/pipes-tubes-and-fittings/pipe-fittings/malleable-iron/

Expect to have to provide evidence of installation by a suitably qualified person if insurers make it policy... (I mean generally, not you personally)

A technical specification is being reviewed, pending ratification by ISO. Its reference number is CEN ISO/TS 23625 (August 2022) "Small Craft - Lithium Batteries". It is already prevalent in the UK amongst organisations associated with the safety and insurance of inland craft. I believe conversion to a full ISO standard is expected shortly. How it will be adopted in the UK remains to be seen e.g. RCR, mandated by insurers etc.... The quote that some may have seen on Facebook (dismissed as b******s by some) was an extract from the TS.
