  1. Will give that a go then, always wondered why, even in full morning sun it took ages to move off 14v. The old 20a tracer didn't do that when I just had three panels wired in parallel.
  2. I often find my panels on 14v for a couple of hours in the morning as well. Would removing the positive panel feed and reconnecting wake them up as Matty suggests.
  3. I also couldn't get my head around how thin the back end was but the previous survey allegedly didn't flag it up.
  4. as we speak my 4 170w panels wired series/parallel are producing 52v and putting 10amps into the batteries.
  5. I see it's T20, that's usually worth watching.
  6. And very stuffy and uncomfortable in hot weather.
  7. I agree there are many factors, but if people moor their boats in the correct way and tie up properly, movement can be kept to a minimum.
  8. I can confirm it is on the up.
  9. It really is all about the angle of the front and rear ropes, on our mooring we have plenty of boats passing all day and we rarely move, even when people don't slow down.
  10. The cheaper the loo roll the better.
  11. My vinyl catch cover is looking very tired, let us know how you get on.
  12. even so, forcing your self past on the approach to a lock is not very good.
  13. This point seems to have got lost , rushing to overtake and forcing yourself through on the approach to a lock with boats waiting is very bad form.
  14. Should be more visible at the moment due to low water levels, but good advice all the same.
  15. How can you possibly say what happened, did you witness this? No of course you didn't, so you are saying it's fine to ram somebody from behind in order to get to a lock with four boats waiting first. And the last statement is disgraceful.
  16. It doesn't matter how right you are and how wrong the other boater was you are flogging a dead horse on here trying to get your point across, you will get snide and nasty remarks whatever you say. This is the reason new members leave as quickly as they arrive, sad really.
  17. I always make sure I know what is behind me and if someone is going quicker and catching me up I pull over and let them pass.
  18. Are you saying he hit you from behind claiming you were going too slow?
