This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but whilst perusing the Nicholson "Inlands Waterways Map of Great Britain"
I noticed a note saying "No wide beam craft should moor online between Berkhampstead and Braunston"
Thats a long one day trip!!

Those stoves leak fumes like a colander !! You probably won't last the first night!!

Try Tim at Onboard solar.

That does sound good, yes a few jerry cans would take the excess.

Thanks for that 'real life' example.
So, about 1/2 litre per hour. that seems very economical.
Surely when you get a quote for Kero the price includes delivery (it does when I buy it) ?
Current price for 500 litres of Kero (delivered) is 50.9p / litre
You can even get smaller loads (barrels) delivered if you don't have a big tank.
It is having it delivered canalside that is likely to be the problem. That and my tank only being 150 litres.

If anyone has any actual figure of domestic usage It'd be interesting to actually look at the implications.
I have a dedicated tank for heating, feeding a 15Kw oil fired boiler.
Living aboard last winter, I consumed about 100 Litres per month running the heating for two hours in the morning and four in the evening.
The system heats the boat (radiators) and 90 Litre unvented water cylinder.
I am able to buy red diesel for heating at 100% domestic so to run on white diesel will be a considerable increase in cost.
I could run on kerosene at approx. 70p per litre but I would have to factor in my cost for delivery.
It is all a bit "wait and see" at the moment.

The orange lead that goes from the boat to a box on the bank
Doesn't it get caught round the prop when you're cruising?

The beer is much cheaper at Aldi!

They ride horses and wear their bandanas over their lower face!

£5000 is a bit steep!!
I would expect a bill of £4000 for blasting and two sprayed coats of epoxy including the baseplate.

I could tell, but it may well be construed as sub judic.
I have yet to decide on my options.
Buyer Beware!

Ah! It was you with the water skier!?

Sounds like your system needs further investigation!
I suppose it could be fitted with a direct cylinder but I have never come across such a system on a boat.
Where are you?

CO will start at ceiling height and work down as the concentration increases so early detection will occur at high level.
A smoke alarm is designed to detect the products of combustion, hopefully before the fire becomes fully developed.

smoke rises and CO arrives at the nostrils.?
What are you talking about??
Smoke rises if it is hotter than the surrounding air, and carbon monoxide rises because it is slightly lighter than air.
Combining the two in one detector is a good idea.

I notice that it has no inverter, so no mains power when away from a land based supply.
Will definitely require more leisure batteries and a more powerful three stage charger.
How much are they asking?

My father had a Typhoon, Wonderfull car!
I just loved the little touches, like the inbuilt jacking system.

Does anyone have experience of using this company for a solar installation?

Machine Mart do a set or cup wrenches that fit the bottom hexagon flats on filters lick a large socket. They use a 3/8 drive ratchet to turn them.
