Not sure why that route goes right round the top to get to the Caley - you could always go in the South-Western end! Mind you hitting the Western Isles and the Hebrides then Orkney would make for an epic trip, Cape Wrath in February wouldn't be too much of a problem if you survived Biscay ...

If you only do a 30 or 40 degree wash and set the valve to this you won't need to heat the water at all. If you want a hotter wash, you won't need to heat the water as much but can still do so via you inverter/travelpower/shoreline. If you run the engine for an hour before starting a wash you will not have trouble with flow rates, not like the machine will care - it will fill to a set point before proceeding.

And get a cracking delivery trip back from Lefkas to the Caley too!

Yeah, my predictive text knows which words I type most frequently too ...

Those green plastic kitchen scourer pads are excellent for this job. I always keep a few in my plumbing box, having been taught this trick 20 years ago. Less bits fall off and you don't get punctures in your fingers which is helpful when working with flux.

Does this happen to you often, or was it a one time event that one specific boat caused?

I don't know if quoting one notifies him, but we will soon find out ...

That's not how you spell buzzer.

There is a catch built into the side of the plug(s) where they go into the heater body. Press the top half in towards the plug body before trying to remove the plug. If it won't move, push the plug a bit more in then try it.

Just be aware that it notifies the member that they have been tagged in a post, so it can become annoying. @WotEver will be confirming this soon! I turned all notifications off years ago.

Or interlock the LFP disconnect with the starter feed in such a way that it is impossible to start the engine with the LFPs connected. If you forget, you can't run the alternator.

Two bends of not more than 30 degrees is the guidelines - so basically no. Think laterally - get a skinny kettle, and bake spuds in the firebox.

Understood. I wasn't trying to suggest that you edit the boat details, but the navigation authorities do restrict what they send. There are boats not present in the dataset though. Try mine! https://canalplan.org.uk/boats/boats.php?rno=509241

Nah, @Sea Dog quoted your quote in post #51 of @DHutch's post #49. It's easy to do and that is what confuses the software, attributing the text to the post it was quoted from. Sloppy coding!

Ah. The link you posted goes to the first video on a playlist of 26 videos - no pipes. I assume you wanted this one (video 7/26) :

That's why I said "a haggis" not @haggis!

If you stand on a haggis it just goes "Squelch!"

2.11 The 20% Electric Boat discount will be retained pending the Trust undertaking a swift review of options to consider how to apply any future discount in a way that would more effectively recognise, and encourage, more environmentally-friendly boating. It is intended that this will be completed, and any changes to the Electric Boat discount will be announced, by April 2019 https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/refresh/media/thumbnail/35602-licensing-futures-decision-summary-response.pdf

One definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play the bagpipes ... but doesn't! I understand they were invented by a Scotsman who stood on his cat and liked the noise.

Except 1. Canalplan don't have any recent data for boats, and 2. Some boats are deliberately excluded from the boat listing for a variety of reasons.
