Well thank you for your definitive and informed answer biscuit tin
if I knew you better and felt you wouldn’t take offence and have a hissy fit i might have called you a prat
I can of course read a set of Bss guidelines , but wanted to Chuck the question out here for real world opinions
1 minute ago, WotEver said:Why would the BSS be concerned that the water heater is in a cupboard?
I thought it was more of a possible issue as it was possibly restricted for airflow and in a bedroom
just my observation

Chatting with a chap today who is gutting and refitting his 1970’s harborough narrowboat ( ex hire ) and he said that when the refit is completed the paloma gas water heater would be in a cupboard in the bedroom ( currently the kitchen )
i was not sure this would pass BSS despite it passing as a kitchen
Thoughts ...??

Thanks Tony
need to try and sketch out a
calorifier / central heating plumbing diagram next
Did I mention I hate Plumbing lol

Musing over ideas and swmbo comes up with the statement of :
if we had a planar heater can this be switched over just to heat the calorifier in summer , but still run the central heating in winter .?
my befuddled brain ( which loathes plumbing) started to think of change over valves etc etc
Am I missing the obvious .....

Canalline popular with hire fleets at present, mostly Korean I believe.
Beta possibly most popular, based on Kabota Jap. units.
Vetus, Mitsubishi based, horrible spares prices.
Then there are Barrus, Yanmar and others. Isuzu not in the market now.
45ft needs 25 to 30 HP, but consider matching to your existing prop.
Go for a hydraulic PRM gearbox, possibly PRM150 for reliability rather than any other.
What is in it now?

You do not need those power figures quoted .. a 9 ‘oss puts a 70footer along nicely
look at the type of engine before assuming you know the answer please
live long and prosper

Thanks to all who answered
I agree that if located by an access the twin wall makes sense
but this one is more of a “ cost effective solution” but wanting to keep within the framework of any current codes of practice etc
will pass the findings over to the owner
cheers

As I am a bit out of touch with current requirements I need to know for a customer if a new first installation of a multi fuel heating device has to comply with the new twin walled flue regs or as the boat is over 25 years old a single walled flue is acceptable
I am not discussing the pros and cons of either system just purely the legal requirements for installation
cheers

When we took over Baldock , I had the engine numbers verified by Perkins and Diperk and they both agreed it is a D3.152
The gearbox I was informe had been changed prior to our time
All I/We did wsa top end overhaul along with having the fuel pump and injectors reconditioned by a local firm
I do hope that wherever BALDOCK ends up she will retrain that setup as it nicely balances the boat

Was that Legend narrow boats? At one time built beside Walkers lock. They often had diesel outboards (yanmar I believe or possibly lombardini). Still a few of the old Legends about some with quite bad faults like bulging sides etc.
They were steel boats built very cheaply. I believe there were some legal issues around the quality.Not sure if you are talking about the same thing.
The outboards were Ruggerini's .. very heavy and bloody unreliable
I spent a bit of time with Graham and Jenny at Lot Mead when he ran the litho press in the building opposite the main house .. sadly lost touch with both of them after they parted company
Great days .. beer in the Batch and a wobbly bike ride home

HN this is the older non room sealed version
it’s been in the boat for ages just that the room configuration is changing from kitchen to bedroom
and he wants to put it in an open bottom cupboard
