  1. It is a mitsubishi L3E with a bowman heat exchanger fitted on top of it so maybe they had this before the bowman was fitted
  2. so if i've got this right the exhaust goes into the side that curls up and round sort of like a piglets tail, water comes in from the canal through the small top pipe and water and exhaust fumes go out into the canal below the water line so your engine is nice and quiet. so it doesn't actually cool the engine at all
  3. wouldn't that feed water back into the cylinders? why would you want a wet exhaust - sorry I know I sound a bit stupid here
  4. seeing as I have absolutely no idea what a 3d isometric shot is - probably not :-)
  5. Hi, we bought a boat engine and this came with it - it says wortham blake on the side, our first thought was it might be a water trap for any water feeding back up the exhaust but in that case surely fumes would come out of the small breather pipe on the side/top, second thought was that it was a heat exchanger but there is already one on the engine. any suggestions?
  6. fair enough, but I live in the sticks so like the free delivery option
  7. toolstation is usually cheaper and you only have to spend 10 quid for free next day delivery, think its 40 for screwfix

    Floods

    Some of the posts I was reading on facebook pages were talking about hammering scaffolding poles into the canal bed to stop the boats drifting over the towpath, does this not damage the canal bed?
  9. Well I suppose we all occasionally say/post things that are somewhat cringe worthy when looked back on but the phrase "emotional range of a teaspoon" did spring to mind

    fave canal places

  11. I'd agree - an issue with too much slack on one side of the steering cable and probably ballast distribution - other half had ballasted ours perfectly when he was on our boat, but developed a slight list when i got on!
  12. I have a theory that if you're afraid you're going to fall in then you're more likely to but have never put it to the test! I've never fallen in but did go swimming in the Llangollen canal as a young girl before anyone bothered warning about the dangers of leptospirosis etc
  13. i didn't see how they could work they didn't look very propeller like if you know what i mean
  14. reading previous comments is a 4 blade propeller more efficient than a 3 blade propeller then? also has anyone got one of the axiom propellers are they any better?
  15. can you get one of these if you've already got a boat with no paperwork to prove its yours in the first place though?
