Hey Dave I've seen a few people say that, is that just the standard masonry paint? Cav

Hey guys cheers for the advice I'm looking to fibreglass it at some point but was looking for a good watertight paint solution for the moment. The original owner had decided to clad her in Perspex and didn't do a good sealing job when we inspected it yesterday it was like a swamp in some spots but we've managed to catch it in time! I havnt got the time to fully glass her right now so looking for a good paint solution if possible until I get the time to fully glass her!

Hey guys, Im just working on refurbishing the superstructure of my canalboat, she has a wooden top that's in good condition for her age but it has the usual bumps and little chunks taken out the side. We were wondering what the best method if to get a good finish and keep her watertight? our thoughts were wood filler then a 2 part epoxy paint but wasn't sure the best way? some people suggested west systems then a 2 pack but this seemed a little excessive any thoughts/experience would be appreciated as i'm in the dark on this one!

thanks for the advice guys

Hey Blizzard thanks for the reply It's got a separate gear lever sticking up which i'm planning on keeping, but it doesnt have the original throttle was planning on using the morse just for throttle and keep the gear separate. £160 for an old ratchet lever and cable seems excessive, personally i would prefer to spend that on using the morse. one of our fleet at work has an armstrong sidley with a ratchet throttle and gear lever and after driving it all summer i'd prefer something a bit nicer haha.

Hey guys new on here so wasnt sure where to post, just picked up a narrowboat with an sr2 in, but i'm struggling to find out the best way to adapt the throttle for a morse. It came with a morse and 33c cables but it has an original lister throttle cable, I can see some people are using 33c cables and i'm trying find the way around it talked to sleeman and to lister and no one seems to have an answer any help would be appreciated ive added a couple of pictures ( promise i don't keep my engines in this condition as i said only just picked it up!)
