Thinking about going to Peterborough after lockdown, can someone give me a quick overview. Pub stops, facilities, places to see or avoid. Is it worth the trip along the Nene. Is it more like a river or canal?

Tx for all suggestions, have tried all recommendations but none can supply the king tiller pin

Tried these, can’t help

Called and spoke to them, only sell by the thousand Done that, say can’t help....data protection etc!

But you have to buy a 1000!

Any idea where I can buy a brass king tiller pin. https://www.blackcountrymetalworks.co.uk/king-tiller-pin.htm Black Country metalworks are the only place I can find and they only sell to trade in 1000 quantities

Yep had a drink in there, I’m a bit old now for that. We were moored right outside. Had coffee and than a breakfast at the bakery, pollin or something it’s called. Trip was fine and I Had no weed hatch issues but we travelled with another boat and he got snarled a few times. He blames it on his Axiom prop which I was thinking of but glad I didn’t. Anderton lift to Weaver tmrw.

Tx again Dave, had a pleasure able 2 night stop

Can’t I get in from the west around Runcorn?

Can someone tell me how to gain access to the River Weaver from Runcorn, on a 58ft NB and plan to sail east to the Anderson Lift, tx

Hacked prop and nothing fouling and seems very secure

Could hear the air gushing in but seal was strong

Bit confused Re this, sorry As I said, I had to prise the weed hatch open to ease the vacuum, def no water coming in thru there

Checked all nuts etc and all seems ok. Did have a leaky stern gland but a small turn of the two bolts sorted that Same boat, don’t think they’re connected?

Its a new boat, just developed it after 40 hrs, it’s annoying more than anything. Don’t know what a cavitation or uxter plates are

At the southern end of the Rochdale, do the above 2 location allow over night mooring. Are they privately owned?

Boat has started to develop an annoying grinding/ cavitation noise from the weed hatch. If I rev up then decrease revs it goes. I assume it’s air in the weed hatch? When I lifted the hatch there was a great vacuum in there and I had to prise the hatch up slightly and air gushed in for a out 10 seconds then I was able to lift it. Any ideas how to address this? Beta 43 with PRM 150 gearbox, Colecraft hull

Think you’re right! Trying to contact Dave who kindly met me on the Rochdale yesterday Re this, can he pm me please

Yep, I’ll call Colecraft

Yes adjusted both nuts equally

New boat, 35 hrs on engine. There’s a drip about every 10 seconds from the stern gland. Putting more grease in via the plunger reduces it slightly. I have read previous posts re tightening the nut on the gland, did that for 1/4 of a turn made no difference. Think I have to tighten it further but how far? Till it stops? Wanted to get advice before I plough on with my spanner. Does it do any damage with water dripping through it? what happens it I over tighten? see photo many tx

Aware of that tx Thought new Islington was closed?

Now in Todmorden heading west, can anyone tell me where the next pump out is?

Trying to cheer me up? My next post will show my ignorance re the greasing of a stern gland.
