  1. Thanks for the Tunnel Tips. Cuthound, I probably would keep them closed until we got to the other end. Dave P, can I have four candles please. On a serious note I get the point that super bright lights are not necessary.
  2. http://www.rigshop.com/site_pages/products/ropes_and_running_rigging/fnr.html Looks like it.
  3. Me and dad always have a giggle at those two especially when Tim has a bump, poor pru she gets all the blame. Nice couple though.
  4. We won't bother getting one Alan. Cheers for the advice, I did not fancy having petrol on the boat anyhow. Yep that sounds more logical than buying everythink imaginable like wot we've been doing for 6 month. Yes cruising sounds much more fun than hiding in a boat while gongoozlers stare at ya. Lol Thank Tony.
  5. Are you saying don't bother Alan ? If so I will take your advice and not get one. I suppose we could save the £400 and put it away for when the Alternators a pa-ching. I can see a pattern forming, thanks for the help everyone. Must dash out now.
  6. We have a mooring with shore power and won't be out of it more any more than 10 days at a time. So I was hoping to just use the champion genny as a battery topper upper if needed. I think i have a lot to learn Robbo, but being a live aboard I thought it might be good to have. The reviews on YouTube for that genny are quite good, it has a strong engine apparently.
  7. You accessed my knowledge of electrics spot on.
  8. I think it's something to do with a motorcycle/scooter test Ange.
  9. And no mention of cover for contact sport.
  10. So would the champion generator not work at all on a Victron 12/3000 ? We don't have Honda money. Lol Cheers again that's cheered me up and lowered the needle on my worry-ometer.
  11. I think i better get the boat and genny in front of me and come back on here for step by step help Robbo, the last thing I want to do is blow an inverter up or worse. Thanks
  12. Thanks for that MJG, my dad would be the policy holder but he won't be aboard most of the time so I guess I could fit into the 'loaned to a family member catagory then' Maybe we need to let them know from day one I need to be included within the insurance. That's a big help thanks.
  13. We don't have the boat just yet but it has a Victron 12/3000 with a built in charger I think. Cheers Robbo I have already arrived at confusion. Thanks I will have a gander in the search thingy.
  14. Does fully comprehensive boat insurance cover any member of a family to steer the boat or is it like car insurance (named drivers only) ? Apologies for all these questions I've beven saving them up for a few months. Ha
  15. I plan to buy a 2000watt petrol generator in a couple of weeks but I don't know how they are connected to the boat in order to charge the batteries. Do they plug into the shoreline point on the boat and if so what cable would I need ? Here is the Generator i had in mind. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00Q6U79MK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1457938691&sr=8-2π=SX200_QL40&keywords=champion+generator&dpPl=1&dpID=41mAmku5ktL&ref=plSrch Thanks
