  1. Yes that’s the one I was thinking of. Thanks
  2. Hi, We’ve been at our present marina, in the Napton area for a few years and are thinking about moving up to the Shroppie/Llangollen area. Has anyone any experiences/recommendations of marinas. We’re not looking for anything fancy, or residential, just quiet and secure. I see that Sawley Bridge seems well thought of, and there is an ABC place at Nantwich, but I’ve not been that way for a few years and can’t remember what it’s like. cheers Tim
  3. Great! Thanks very much everyone. The fridge is between 2 cupboards, with about 2” gap all round, so I’ll start with a grill in the worktop and then maybe add the fan to get the air moving.
  4. The handbook for our Shoreline fridge suggests installing a small 12v fan (ex-computer) over a hole cut in the floor behind the fridge. Connected to run with the fridge motor this will, it claims, save more power than it draws by dispersing the hot air trapped behind the fridge with cool air drawn from the bilges. I’ve got as far as cutting the hole in the floor, but I imagine to work efficiently one should also cut a hole in the worktop above the fridge as well. Has anyone else has tried it, and if so does it make much difference? Tim
  5. Hi everyone. Thanks very much. Plenty to think about. Nothing is ever quite as straightforward as it first appears! cheers
  6. I was thinking of just white, probably “warm white” fed from the boat’s 12v. There seem to be 2 types, a strip with LEDs dotted along it and another, more expensive option, with what looks like one continuous LED. They really look good but I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra. Hmmm
  7. Hi, I quite fancy fitting some flexible LED strip under the gunnels to get some more indirect light in the saloon. I’ve seen a few boats so equipped, and wonder if anyone on the forum has tried it, and if so are there any particular brands/suppliers they would recommend, as there are so many on the market. Thanks
  8. Great! No problems there then. Thanks everyone!
  9. Hi all, Travelling down from Fradley intending to wind in Burton. There is a discrepancy between Pearson’s, Nicholson’s and CRT map. Does anyone know if the winding holes shown in Nicholson’s at Horninglow and Shobnall are still useable? cheers Tim
  10. Thanks very much everyone. A little job for next week.
  11. Thanks, any preference for oil, or whatever is hanging about?
  12. Thanks, I’ll take it steady refilling.
  13. Hi, Does anyone know the oil capacity of the L-B 2:1 reduction box? I need to change the oil, and want to make sure I have enough before starting the job. I can’t find anything in the manual or online. Also, is it better to avoid hypoid gear oil in these boxes? I know there has been discussion on the forum before on this topic but I’m not sure of the final verdict. It had certainly had EP oil in it in the past, there is a half empty bottle on board to prove it. Many thanks Tim
