Hence my question in post #13
Yes did see that one.

Hello, am I being unfair or is there anyone connected with the name Mike and regginald? seems familiar somehow.

Hello and welcome, you may find the list of work you have given could cost as much as the purchase price of your boat if paying a tradesman. have a good look around. cheers.
-
Hello, two people come to mind. Rupert at Armada boats, Newbold or Les at Welford. Both are in my opinion good people to work with and fair with pricing. Hope this helps.

It may also be a good idea to work out what caused it to sink and put this right before you do anything else. Don't want to go through it all over again next week.

Hello again, yes "Gas Appliance Spares" 01772 702755. No connection just found them on google. Hope it helps.

Good afternoon, ebay is showing instruction book and manual which covers gg7000 model £6.99. could be just what you are looking for. Also google shows parts available from "GAS" looks like good prices.

It may be just my poor sight, however it doesn't look as if this has been done recently. lots of rust on the thread and no obvious sign of marks on the nut.

I had to look carefully when buying similar a few years ago. Many could not read dc current. I was surprised. Mine is the Uni t 203. this does read dc current
-
Hello, the description states, measure ac/dc voltage, ac current. No mention of dc current.

The clamp meter was the UNI-T 210E
Good meter but may have been better to go for the model that reads DC current as well.

for a half-power version as well.
They have these lower wattage tubes at Midland chandlers. You may not expect this but they are cheaper than Bedazzled. However the tubes I bought from Bedazzled are excellent.

a few years back and the total refill was exactly 90 litres to the brim.
Recently the fuel boat here topped my half empty tank up while I was at work and billed me for 97 litres
Mtb, your alarming lack of good luck finding equipment that works or measures accurately is still running. We can now add fuel pumps to Smart gauge, batteries, Eco fan etc etc. Hope this run of luck changes soon, (all in good fun, you know).

Tank is definitely in in poor condition. We haven’t got hold of a magnifying glass but do think they are small corrosion holes (not sure how it gets corroded?).
If the tank is in poor condition, I would pump out asap and invest in a cheap porta loo. It would not be good if the sides of the tank that you cannot see are worse than the sides you can. No amount of bitumen would hold the contents inside. The clean up doesn't bare thinking about.

Does this mean no 12v wiring has been run?

Getting back to the price of Morso squirell, remember that Midland chandlers will be having "Freaky Friday" soon. 20% off their price could be worth waiting for. This goes for any big ticket items.
Cheers,

Best to gather as much info whilst out of water re existing prop and clearance, ring Crowthers, answer their few simple questions and let them give the best advice. Be ready for a small shock, My 22x22 prop is going to be 6 weeks in the making and £900 to pay. Sure it will be worth it tho.

If you want a matching light fitting do you think a picture of the old one might help ?
Just a thought.

Hello, not a dry dock, however I just had a week at Yelvertoft on hard standing. Boat pulled out of water no crane. No problems working as late as you like, showers available on site, water point if you need it and really good pressure wash if wanted. No connection, just very happy customer. May be worth a call. Price was good.
This was a much better experience than dry docks that I have used in the past.

Hello, I have put this name up before. Robert Naghi, have a look at his web site. He will give advice and carry out work to any standard you choose and will travel to you if needed. No connection but thought this to be a good option. p.s looks like he does work for some well respected boat builders.

Have a look for wide beam boat "Tulak" builders Elton Moss boats. This looks all electric. Canal boat mag Jan 2017

Hello, we have the same water heater and also found high gas use when the pilot was left on. Have just checked the manual but no information on how gas much is used in stand by as it were. Here is their UK contact number, 01928 531870. If you have a spare five minutes a quick call would give definite answer.

Hello, you could have a look at this painter. Robert Naghi. I have not used him but would consider doing so. Have a quick search on google and look at his site. His prices were good and he was happy to travel to you.
cheers,

Each to their own, projecting bolts, rivet washers, whatever makes you happy. Nice bottle of red in my case.
It looks ok to me.

Hello, Les is a good choice. However if you get to him and he is too busy, you then need to do the arm again. It may be better to continue on to North Kilworth and let Ben see what can be done. It's not out of your way.
