    A well greased rag wrapped tightly around the propshaft via the weed hatch is more traditional. And sticks better than wet cling film. A bucket under the gland and a working bilge pump are soothing, an assistant on standby with a wet vac is luxurious.

    I was about to post exactly this. I've seen badly done packing on the hard that didn't get noticed in the excitement of crane back in day ...

    It wouldn't be classed as an accident though. "There's been a terrible deliberate!"

    Or at least film it for us ...

    I'm not sure drinking turps is any better than craft beer 😁

    I don't know, and didn't want to just make a wild ass guess. Hence asking for a photo or more detail.

    I don't understand this bit. Can you explain further or add a photo, please.

    It is of course possible to have had a secondhand boat for two years and be commissioning a brand new one. That's definitely not the impression I got from his previous posts though.

    Considering how much some people complain about passing boats, watching a soliton wave go past them would be entertaining!

    Betty (sic) Noir isn't the Prince of Darkness, that's Ozzy Osbourne ...

    I'd heard it was ABC leisure group taking Scarisbrick, but only on the towpath rumour mill. Not seen any official announcements anywhere.

    I'm just thinking how impressive a log flume Wigan flight would-be if you opened all of the gates 🤣🛶

    Whiplash. @Alan de Enfield has a photo ...

    The other valid point is if they have a boat you are particularly interested in, it would be stupid to not go to the broker listing it.

    Tayna Batteries did it for me too. In fact the delivery driver insisted on pushing his pallet truck from where I'd met him at a bridge along the towpath right up to the boat.

    Yeah, I think they call those veneers. It's surprising how many people come back from Turkey with them after a short holiday.

    That's a great reason to go and look ... The more boats you have a rummage through the better idea you'll get of what you think you like and don't like. Then after you've had one for a while you'll learn that your original thoughts were badly wrong in some respects and excellent choices in others! Then you'll start looking on Apollo Duck again 😁🤣

    I don't know the ins and outs of any allegations, but this Reddit thread is interesting...

    For batteries on the swim, usually with the engine in the same compartment? You're wrong. Again. It's going to be 50 or 60 degrees in there on a hot summer day while cruising a reasonable distance. As opposed to a cold winter day with ice on the cut, when the swim will be around 4 degrees.
