i think i've missed something... next stage of what?

Any motorway bridges nearby?

great to have, is there a good story as to how you got it? should we be worried when going over the aqueduct?!!

Those mats are a good idea... So you'd always recommend the Jotamastic 90? does the metal need to go back to bare with this?

ouch that must have been a clash! often wandered exactly how much grief a narrowboat can take before it 'splits'....

Brilliant suggestion!!

Hi All, Now I've done the engine compartment I'm looking to paint the other ones, mainly the two lockers under the Semi-trad seats (where i store chains/pins etc), the Bow Thruster tube area and the Bow Gas Locker. None are too bad but need a bit of rust treatment (lots of 'ok' existing paint). I just used plain bilge paint in the engine bay but thinking i maybe need something a bit robust on these or it'll get very easily chipped especially in my chains locker? I've read about Jotamastic 87 but this seems quite expensive..... any other suggestions? not fussed about colour etc thanks!!! rob

I presume unless you're boating could a windlass be deemed an offensive weapon?

its in a hole I'm afraid...... not sure you'll get something quiet in a room unless you have serious soundproof encasing......... ?

i hear you my friend!

Not on that scale, but the weed growing in our marina makes it difficult to get out. Have to pop into the weed hatch before we get to the canal!

Our Beta 43 with a f.....ng great hospital silencer is lovely and quiet if that's an option?

Always amazed boat licenses only make up 12% of their income. I suppose it gives us an idea where boaters are in the pecking order though?

ah that allows you to lurk around locks waiting for your next prey!

I've had really good experiences with Beta. When we got our boat i couldn't identify the engine (missing ID due to age)... They got the details of it from the gearbox and sent me over loads of spreadsheets on it, including all the testing, all the wiring diagrams etc....
