Needs to be a proper ash bucket with a lid. The main danger with an open ash bucket is if you leave it too close to your cabin door vents and end filling your boat with CO.
I think it's the other way round. The propeller-side nut, the thinner one, won't budge without loosening the thicker one. The thinner one is attached to the sleeve. I've given it a few clockwise turns now, so I'll see if the grease holds better when I cruise it this morning.
The good news from folk I know in Marple is that the lad who fell is stable, still in hospital, and, quite miraculously, relatively unscathed.
Although some of the people he was with are still somewhat traumatised.
It took me a while to work out why my boat come equipped with a massive spanner and a rubber mallet, until I worked out that my stern tube opening is not like that of other boats. I don't get the two-bolt luxury that makes for straightforward stern tube adjustment.
So it's taken me about nine months aboard but i think I've finally got the hang of not sinking - rubber mallet, huge spanner, righty-tighty!
Having just done a temporary repair on the coolant system for a BMC 1.5l with 30mm hose - and struggled, I'm pretty sure you need 32mm hose. I was in Macc marina and that's what I was sold on the premise that it was for a BMC.
Is this referring to the Marina? Dry dock? You can moor up to 14 days inline at Furness if you go past the marina, through the swingbridge. I think that's what the previous poster meant. No need to book, but it can get busy there due to the stunning view.
