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
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?
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?
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
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!
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
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?
