You've just been faffing about trying to reduce the fumes inside your boat from other boats' stoves and engines. Are you 100% sure it is not displaying the correct reading near your boat, inside or out?

In practice that's correct - you won't get any hassles if you do it that way. What CRT actually say you should do in your case is take out a 12 month licence with your home mooring declared then when you leave to go CC'ing update your mooring status to "no home mooring" either online or by phone. It doesn't cost anything and you won't need to swap the licence for a different one. It won't make much difference either way but this way is more accurate.

That's the minimum total spread over at least three extinguishers on a 36ft+ boat. Add the A's and the B's up to exceed those figures.

Read the words ... Fire rating: 5A/34B/C It's not shown in those photos, but it is printed on the side of the extinguisher. Yes if you only have 1kg extinguishers you need 5 of them on most narrowboats. Having at least one near any likely source of ignition is a good idea though, and having them distributed throughout the boat makes sense even if you have a couple of larger ones.

They do have, just not shown in those pictures.
