This has become a problem over after I have been cruising for a while with the solar panels connected. Is this a serious problem and what is the solution please?

The radio control element I use is a commercially available system for remote clay pigeon trap release. Once you have paired transmitter and receiver there is no risk of interference to you or others.

Thanks to Ray T. I sent months looking for this article before I went it alone. Anybody out there got contact details for Mick?

Nothing in the T&Cs I can see. Only reference is to having. Competent Person "in attendance" when navigating. You are of course obliged to have insurance so it's down to them.

Being a single handed boater with declining mobility, I have developed and installed radio control for helm and throttle on my 57ft narrowboat. I have used electric actuators and a radio control system normally used for clay pigeon trap release. In addition to helm and throttle I can also sound the horn and operate the engine cut out. It is not the intention to control the boat from the bank other than at locks and swing bridges. Any body out there with experience of insurers attitudes to such arrangements? I am assuming that they should be notified as it constitutes a modification to my boat.

Thanks. Call me on and we can discuss. Tom.

I am travelling solo south on the Ribble Link 22nd May and would welcome some company for the trip. Anyone interested?

I have used Formil Bio washing tablets (1 per cassette) for the past two years. No smell and a clean tank. Obtainable from Lidl/Aldi
