    Hi Tony, No double glazing i see what you mean about drilling in situ i will have to remove them to re-seal them so will have a better look then think i will use puraflex 40 as i am impressed how it sealed my roof vent

    Hi All, These are the leaky windows on my boat which i am still in the process of trying to seal but i notice there are no drain holes/vents in them? can i add some or are they supposed to be without them as most boat windows i have seen seem to have them??

    My old boat had a Ford Transit 2.5 di (banana engine) fitted started first time every time it has no glow plugs obviously these engines were for road vehicles so would need marinising my new old boat has a BMC 1500 fitted good luck with your choice

    Hi All, I am about to replace the old gas pipe in my boat as it has many joints in the system i am being told i have to use 3/8 copper pipe as there will be two appliances ie a cooker and water heater could i use 10mm pipe and will this satisfy the boat inspector? it seems very difficult to find 3/8 pipe where as 10mm can be bought nearly everywhere any advice very much appreciated thanks in advance

    Steering normally straightens up after a glass of wine or two

    I like the idea of carpetted sides up to the gunwhales any pictures of such things
  22. Chas78
    I'm only doing behind my sink unit as the rest of the boat is insulated with Extratherm and rockwool so a couple of rolls of the cheap insulation will do as a moisture barrier from the cold steel behind the pipework etc
  23. Chas78
    The previous owner covered two vents one of which i will also be removing if it ever stops raining yes they survived
  24. Chas78
    Think i will go for mushroom vents next
  25. Chas78
    Hi All, After discovering many leaks on my boat firstly from the windows then above the windows so i decided to investigate the roof vents this is what i found who in the right mind would fit these and more importantly cover them with roof lining and insulation when they are there for a reason and they were leaking very badly as can be seen after the many drill/screw holes left unsealed the mind boggles
