Over 3 hours away, bit too far to commute.

The Northwich wet dock will be on the Weaver. Whats the set up with the Anderton lift this year. I need to check. Thanks for all the suggestions, by the way.

Thanks I'll check it out. They don't hire out, unfortunately.

Given them a ring. May be possible. Awaiting their reply. Thanks for that ditchcrawler.

I was hoping to use the dock at Bunbury to paint the outside of my boat this year. Unfortunately they no longer hire it out. Does anyone know of a wet dock within a short drive of Nantwich? We will only need it for about 5 days.

Its always done this. I will need to see what the engineer says. I'll try phoning them in the morning.

No lights on the alternator. As far as I know. The only reference on it is the little sticker. Its got power coming in from the batteries, I just checked. If its the one I think it is its brushless. Looks like I need to visit an electrician then.

Cheers Tony. I think it might be this one, which is brushless. https://smithcoelectric.com/products/blp2303gh-new-oe-leece-neville-alternator-for-ihc-12v-140a

I have had no problem with charging the batteries until today. Normally 3 to 4 hours of cruising shows the batteries at 100%. ( I know don't trust battery monitors but my batteries are 6 years old and still happy) Today the batteries are still at 94% after 3 hours. The monitor shows no charge is coming off the alternator , it usually shows around 50 amps. Also the alternator normally kicks in after about 10 seconds. It makes a high pitched noise and the engine revs drop slghtly. This is not happening. Both belts on the alternator are tight and seem to be turning fine. I'm running the on board genny at the moment and its charging the batteries as normal. Any idea's please.

Thanks both. Done that. Happy days.

It is working fine. I just don't want to be "doing it wrong" if that could damage the pump or accumulator. Usual thing with something I don't fully understand. I maybe see problems that aren't there. Thanks again. Its 30psi, just looked.

Ah, so maybe not sorted. There is definitely pressure in the accumulator because when I pushed the release valve on the side of the pump it hissed. The pump is not on so system has pressure. With taps on there is no pulsing and a good flow rate, better than before. The pump does run constantly when taps on or shower on. Could I have put in too much pressure or not enough?

OK 👍

Cheers. I will have a look this afternoon and report what I find. Cheers. I will have a look this afternoon and report what I find. OK. Had a look under the sink. First its a Shurflo pump not Jabsco! Put some pressure into the accumulator using my bike pump. Not a very accurate guage on it so not sure how much. Now the pump kicks in when I turn on the taps, stays on, no pulsing, good pressure. As soon as the taps off the pump stops. I think thats all good now. Could be the pressure had always been a bit low? Thanks for the advice.
