good reply - but shame members couldnt respect others and keep it civil, - will be interesting to see how the forum developes - i am on a few forums that have all declined except one which i am a mod on - its stronger than ever, mostly because all the members police it themselves to an extent - its free to chat about anything yet the main subject is still top.

ironic really that a ban had to implemented to get to a point where a debate could again take place - a ban was needed to get rid of the trouble makers - the forum went right down hill and i also nearly didnt come back - but of late i have started to enjoy it again. - good work Team.

Shower head, anyone heard of/tried these?
the barnacle replied to Dave Payne's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
what a question to ask boaters -
nice to see a good herb garden the boat looks great
-
now thats looking smart
-
it wouldnt take up much room you could attach a funel on the inside the kitchen sink cupboard door, a length of flexable hose into a T connector on the sink waste outlet - job done
-
The frame sounds good - i would use 30mm Stainless tube then clad to provide the upturn to contain the tank, hmmm when fish float do they weigh less than when they sink?
-
the strength of the frame will be in its structure and not all down to material thickness, as mentioned if in steel it may need a floor frame to spread the load not just feet. if i were making it i would put solid sides on to make them rigid, this is why they usually have cupboards under to create hidden strength.

the barnacle replied to alan_fincher's topic in Boat Building & Maintenance
Thank you for sharing - hope everything goes ok with the work, - just a little concern - i know a chap that had one of those lifting straps break so i would double up to make sure, its not a nice feeling to see your engine 6 ft from its habitat dangling on a single eye, bet you were pleased to see it touchdown.
