  1. Wonderful. And in the end I have chosen someone else to do my roof who will be using more 'conventional' paints, Any recommdations for a steel roofed NB? No top box and not used as storage space. Will have 2x semi-flexible solars stuck to the surface (hence wanting to ensure the roof is in tip top condition before hand).
  2. Ok - thanks very much. I have no idea if I have a VSR. How would I know? Is this something I can find? Again, many thanks.
  3. I've inherited a Sterling Pro Combi Quasi Sine Wave inverter. https://sterling-power.com/products/pro-combi-q-quasi-sine-wave I've been on shoreline for the past few days and was intrigued that although my leisures are running at around 13, my starter is at 12. I've been advised that this is because the inverter isn't charging my starter battery - that'll only be done via the alternator when I run the engine. Does this mean that even on shoreline and in a marina, one has to run one's engine to maintain the health of the starter battery? And should I be concerned that my starter battery has been on 12V the past 3 days?....
  4. Hi rusty - thanks for posting. If my starter is at 12V and hasn't moved I think that means it's probably not charging it?
  5. Thought I'd post here as I have a related'ish question.

  6. Really, really interesting. I actually quoted some of your post back to my first contact with the chap who is importing/using the paint. Be curious to hear what he says about your concerns re. application etc. And not a ramble at all - really appreciative of you taking your time to post so comprehensively.
  7. And there's me thinking my topic was boring. Love to hear people's experience, thoughts, insights on using a commercial sector marine treatment on a 'non-commercial' vessel.
  8. Surprised no-one else is interested in the thread. i always thought primers and paint were the makings of good boat chitchat ☹️
  9. I am very interested and I think I'm going to go for it. Will report back!
  10. Hi. I need my roof treating. It has some rust areas - not too much but I'm about to place some semi-flexible solars and so need the roof A1 before fixing. I've been offered a quote using paints supplied by Chemco International. In particular, these: http://marine.chemcoint.com/products/applications/topsides-and-boottop.html I'm wondering if folks here have any thoughts on these paints. Many thanks.
  11. Mike is now booked! Thanks everyone! Any recommendations re. fitting the solar panels and the iron bar?
  12. Hi. I'm buying a boat (survey dependent) in Chester - currently moored near Tattenhall Marina. I'm based in the south and don't have contacts in the area. If there are some names you're happy to recommend, I'd be grateful. I'm also looking to have some solar panels fitted (with controller) and a security bar fixed across a bow door (steel doors, wood lined in inside and painted on outside). Again very grateful for any recomendations. Thanks all!
