I'm more than happy that our boat is fit for sale thankyou. Everything is working as it should. We have added to its value. Its been re-blacked, new anodes, new boat safety certificate, engine was re-sealed and serviced and runs sweet as a nut now. Its a genuine sale and a lovely boat.

Can't seem to find anyway to edit, so contacted a moderator. Thanks for your help.

Genuine error led to us setting up 2 profiles Captain Pegg and yes personal details were included namely the name of the boat and our name. Enough to cause us to have a prospective buyer drop out so I would like the post removed. You are a moderator?

Thanks Good Gurl - You helped me realise that the post was under a 2nd profile my partner had managed to set up (techno dinosaur) so no wonder I was struggling.

We asked for advice on here when we were new owners of a boat with a Lister engine. The advice we got was good and helped us fix the problem. 4 years down the line and we are selling our boat. The prospective buyers werent familiar with Lister engines and did a google search, somehow found the old post as my partner had added our boat name and because of references to the engine getting hot and our queries about the prop size dropped out of the sale. We have re-advertised and I would like to avoid the same thing happening again.

Please can you advise me how I delete a post on here? Many thanks.

Keeping Up, Leo No2 & bizzard, thank you for your advice regarding the engine cooling system, the hole in the cruiser stern decking seems the simplest solution to our problem but I'm open to any other advice. Regarding our prop, what kind of price are we talking? Hundreds of pounds or more? Thank you. Pete

Hello everyone, we are new to this forum and are hoping that someone out there with knowledge of Lister engines will be able to assist us. We have a Twin cylinder air cooled diesel 17.5HP engine in our 50 foot narrowboat, which I am told it is an ST2? At one time, in the engine compartment it had some sort of canvas tube attached to a frame which linked the air intakes to the engine to assist in cooling it. This frame isn't there any more and so the engine runs hot all the time. We have taken to lifting the engine cover to allow more air in whilst we are travelling but this is far from ideal due to the smoke and noise from the engine. The engine runs ok but does tend to cut out at really unfortunate times, like as you enter locks etc. we are told this is because of her running hot? Anyone out there with a knowledge of this air cooling system that could point us in the direction of plans, photo's of someone who could help us make one? In addition, I'm told my prop isn't suitable and is a sea going prop with much smaller blades than a still water prop? Is there a prop that matches my engine? Someone mentioned a company called Crowthers, anyone know them and what they do? Thank you. Pete
