    I have a boat which I took possession of on 1.6.20. A certificate of conformity was issued re boat safety…. Safety Certificate: RCDDC (date of issue 01/06/2020). Can’t seem to find out how ong this lasts, searched the BSC site but no luck. tx

    On a few boats, I have seen what I would describe as a plasticised paint used on the gunnels and below but above the blacking. It’s always black in colour. Anyone know the name of it, does it patch easily after scrapes etc? Tx

    Is it possible to access the Weaver by travelling north on the Shropshire and going thru Ellesmere Port? Map seems to show access

    Can anyone advise please re a 2 or 3 day stay for a 58ft NB, in mid October. Would prefer to book rather than go on spec as going to a wedding.

    Have a beta 43 with an acoustic cage, usually the cooling fan turns off at same time as engine. Today it’s still running after engine turned off and did so for 30 minutes, until I removed terminals on supply to motor. engine was relatively cool. Any idea of what problem maybe or how to turn fan off other than pull the terminals out of the motor?

    Can you recommend a 2 x2 router and aerials for a boat please, tried searching but not sure which one to go for

    Anywhere to moor a 58ft NB overnight or even for a few hours?

    Just need a recommendation for a suitable paint, one pack, RAL 9010, gloss, simples..no other advice required thanks

    I have white ral9010 paint on my roof. This was a 2 pack car paint. It’s starting to wear just on the non slip part. I would like to repaint just the non slip with a 1 pack paint. It’s gloss finish, can anyone recommend a suitable paint please

    The original is Glasurit

    My nb currently painted a cream on top, there are the usual non slip patches. The colour has worn off the non slip and just those patches need repainting. Am told I cannot simply repaint those but but have to use a special pre coat before the top coat as the non slip prevents the paint adhering, .can anyone advise about this please
  12. umpire111
    No, when I either manually turn it or it comes on with timer it stays on till I manually turn it off
  13. umpire111
    Advice please, I can set the timer to bring on my heater…no problem. But how do you set it to turn off? Read the manual and searched webasto database…can’t help. Is there a way to set a run time? tc
  14. umpire111
    Did all that some months ago on day 1, Tx

    Well strange, back to the boat for a couple of weeks sailing, out for one day and still that annoying noise. Then I replaced stern gland packing….not a noise since! This is first time I ever changed packing, I removed two untouched rings from the gland, but there was not a sign of any debris for the one at the business end, is that usual? I put three new rings of packing in. Could that noise have been from stern gland? I’m very confused.

    It’s something like that but mine is quiet in deeper water, not a sound on the Thames, only happens in shallower canals.

    What did he do, file the prop?
  20. umpire111
    Think that maybe sound advice, value it, tx
  21. umpire111
    Been suggested that I change the 3 blade prop for a 4 blade, bit more expensive but may stop turbulence….any views please?
  22. umpire111
    It’s not a vibration sound, 99% sure it’s turbulence or cavitation
  23. umpire111
    Understand, so 1cm about right? Useful Tx, so are you saying the anti cavitation plate should fit level with the step around the weedhatch, accepting that it will be a smaller size than the hole so not forming a seal?
  24. umpire111
    There is a 1cm gap between the bottom plate and the “step” in the boat body, should the plate sit on that ledge?
  25. umpire111
    The base plate of the weedhatch cover seems to sit above the step in the boat body, should it fit snuggly to the body? After vacuum broken sound is still there, should the bottom plate of the weedhatch cover fit snugly to the body? Am sure it does not
