Cheap to run as a live aboard. And CRT can't charge you for a license if it's parked on the towpath?

I have the EE version of the car WIFI stick that plugs into a 12v socket and am really pleased with it. Works on 4G and can even stream video on laptop without any interruption. Not that I would want to as on pay as you go it's not cheap to do! (Web and email fine).

So gland to have bought a trad stern now. Chuck another log on the squirrel! Reminds me of an old convertible car and all the heat from the footwells.

You will get there I'm sure. We have been very lucky. Started off with 40k in mind and fallen over a local boat with a genuine seller for half that. The full buyers survey giving confidence to go ahead. The right boat will find you

Can I start ignition whilst charging starter battery?
Jak replied to hackenbush's topic in New to Boating?
You may have a more significant leak. A properly sorted stem gland is not going to sink you. The PO left Ajax for months at a time. As suggested you need to look at the drip rate. Should only be a drip every few mins or something isn't right... -

A small 'Leak' from here is normal afaik. It's certainly my been experience despite regularly doing the greaser. But this is a tiny amount of water and why we have bilge pumps. How long are you leaving the boat unattended? -
I use a flameproof casserole dish and recommend Ultimate one-pot dishes by Alan Rosenthal: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-One-Pot-Dishes-delicious-one-pot/dp/0091960541/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479662539&sr=8-1&keywords=ultimate+one+pot+dishes

Hmmm. It's not near Aylesbury now, but anyone browsing my posts for a few mins could work out exactly where our mooring is

Technology has moved on massively. I'm going to start off with 200w (2x100) as I'm all 12v and unless on a holiday cruise we only use her at weekends. Theory being the battery will charge up ove the week, assuming no one has nicked the panels!

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking of bolting on, but as said they are easily unbolted....

So I will be fitting solar panels (and new batteries) in the spring. I've seen the kits and it doesn't look like a hard job. But I'm worried the challenge might be keeping them. What practical stuff do people on here do to deter the theft of £300 worth of roof mounted panels?

Stupid question of the evening? I've bought "blue" from Halfords which they recon is the right stuff for the BMC 1500. But can I just top up with it or should I worry what the POs have poured in?

Ouch. A lot of water damage to many components not designed to be immersed. If the marina are taking responsibility I'd be making a list for them of everything damaged.
