  1. Do you cruise with the fire going. Does it matter having a shorter chimney with smoke and the steerer?
  2. What are the pros and cons for the length of a chimney on the stove in the boatmans cabin. I have a 28 inch one which works well on the stove in the saloon. I was thinking of buying a second one for the stove at the back. This would be used when we have visitors using the bed in the boatmans cabin and when cruising. Most boats seem to use long chimneys. What about the short ones (12") are they OK?
  3. Thanks for your help with this.
  4. I managed to contact one of the directors, well actually they contacted me after I had contacted their solicitors. They were very helpful and promised to contact one of the original builders who would supply me with any information I might need. She assured me he would get in touch shortly and gave me her phone number. She also explained why the original owners probably didn't pass on the handbook etc.

    2LW leak

    That all looks very familiar. I have only had the boat for a few months however so I am reluctant at the moment to take on draining the cooling system. Especially as I am still finding out where everything is. I have a long to do list, as I imagine does everyone. This will go on it now for next year. I want to do the oil in the gear box next as it has never been changed.

    2LW leak

    At the moment I am trying to trace the technical speck for the boat. The first two I know but the skin tank bleed I have no idea about.
  8. Thanks for that Alan. I'll give them a ring and let you know how I get on.
  9. Any suggestions as to how I could get a copy of this document from a builders that was ony two men who dissolved the company in 2016?
  10. That would be so useful! I have the Declaration of Conformity which refers to the "owners handbook" but I guess the original owners kept/lost that.
  11. Unfortunately it was the 23 boat built by Sandhills Narrowboats who ceased trading one boat later.
  12. In that case no. The original owners probably still have it. The previous owner certainly would have given it to me if he had one.

    2LW leak

    How easy will it be to remove the pump and apply the instant gasket stuff? Will I have to drain the cooling system?
  14. I don't have an RCD documentation folder ....................as far as I know.
  15. It is a bit like spaghetti behind that panel but it's worth a try. The consumer unit is well labelled.

    2LW leak

    So... What are you saying....... I just have to spend more time polishing it. ?
  17. Good idea I'll try that. I asked the previous owner and he had no idea. I don't think he ever used shore power though.
  18. I took the photo when the genny was not on only the invertor.
  19. YES! can't tell my right from my left. I have one shore power socket at the front. I think there are two rcd consumer units behind the board but I couldn't swear. Is the middle one for the generator and the top one for shore power?

    2LW leak

    I have a leak from behind the water pump (I think!). The photo shows about two hours cruising. Should I get this sorted? Is it an easy fix or should I just put up with it.
  21. Here is the panel photo. I would appreciate it if you could explain the function of the two lefthand ones.
  22. I have to agree she is lovely. We have only had her for a few months so I am still finding my way around her. The original owners certainly did a good job of designing her and kitting her out. We fell in love with her when we first saw her and have no plans to let her go just yet..... Sorry!
