  1. I’ve just tried the wire back to the alternator and that’s fine,I’ve fixed a small one to the wire and that one works so maybe it’s the Rev counter itself playing up.just one of those small jiggly jobs I’d like to sort whilst we’re out and about
  2. barrus shire engine and control panal,think the alternator is a mitzubishi
  3. Having a problem with my rev counter,was working ok but now goes up to 4000 rpm when the engine starts and stays there until i turn it off. any ideas
  4. Definitely gets better the further from London you get,now on the Erewash canal which is ok but not great at the top as nothing there .wendover arm was nice as was Aylesbury arm.trying to decide whether to go across to Llangollen as got 6 weeks before return to the Kennet and Avon.definately got time ??
  5. Hi just had the pleasure of travelling through southhall in London...what has happened to that part of the canal,have crt given up as the rubbish thrown in the canal is horrendous,plastic bags litter everywhere including my prop several times.so disappointing as was looking forward to that bit into London .anyone else been that way lately ???
  6. Loads of swans and ducks but you can see the weed just under the surface,would be great to see it used,what a great city,loved the Guinness
  7. Just had a lovely short break to Dublin,shame to see the canal unused and full of litter and pallets,could be a really nice trip from the city centre as locks all seem OK,anyone ever travelled on it. Russ
  8. Dear all Advice needed please Next job as the weather has changed is to paint the outside of my boat,im happy to do it myself but not sure what sort of paint would be best.Seen posts about Dulux weathershield but had a chat in a paint shop and the man said best not as may not take very well. Any thoughts please

    Batteries

    Tony Sorry I meant to get back to you just wanted to see if the battery I bought home held its charge,I think it is but need a tester to check. The big battery at the back is for the inverter I was told by a marine bloke,it is a whopper,I can't even lift it.i don't have bow thrusters though.hopefully it's something silly Russ
