  1. I wondered that.. it’s a neat line where the foam is missing.. but still room to spray.. it’s a mystery, but by the damage caused to the floor covering, it’s been like it for some time... Great idea!!! l’ll try that... thank you
  2. Bless you.. what an informative piece of text.. !!! my pump starts as soon as tap is opened, and stops when tap is turned off... i’ll keep all your useful advice and information firmly in mind!! ps.. running a dehumidifier under bed in the meantime to keep moisture at bay !!!! thank you to everyone.. you are “amazing” as always Happy Boating David ⚓️
  3. I note you said “above floor level” the area where the foam is missing is below floor/ water line... Don’t think it has an accumulator?? Was bought as a Sailaway and self fitted by the first owner.. corners do seem to have been cut, and some interesting angles on boat fitting out!!!
  4. Yes.. difficult to glue anything whilst it’s cold n damp.. i take it I need to drain water tanks “completely” to remove and replace PRV? I did have someone look at the pressure on my pump but not got back to me as yet!!!
  5. Bless you.. it’s a bit of a hell hole down there!!! Should of warned you 😱
  6. Good morning and a very happy new year to you all.. I have a problem with condensation under my bed where the hot water cylinder is housed.. it is forming on the boat wall where there is no spray foam, is this section not foamed for a reason? And can I use something else maybe insulation tiles, squares to cover the missing section.. ALSO having mentioned hot water cylinder... my PRV is activated every time I move the boat.. thunk it’s on its way out.. are these easy to replace? DIY!!! At present it decants into a plastic bottle... not ideal cos it keeps overflowing and adding to problem.. thanking you all in advance David
  7. No not a salty sailor.. am on the Lanky!!! is the avatar my pici? a total technophobe!!! Maybe I slipped in an anchor ⚓️? V/best David
  8. Good morning up on the roof today using all your advice supplied... I think they are brass... very odd because on all 3 it’s just the screwhead neatly place in the hole...two mushrooms, 3 screws sheared off on each... ketchup later ps.. anyone near Carnforth... lol!!!
  9. Bless you... I have a screw extractor but it’s probably the wrong size for the job... Tomorrow’s another day!!’ I’ll let you know what happens !!!! David
  10. Bless you.. I thought of just using extra strong sillicon!!’ And hope for try best !!! My mushrooms seem odd!! No chamber just the top unit on the roof screwed down to roof.. looking up from inside you can see the roof insulation in between decorative ceiling and outer roof!!!
  11. Good evening crew... i’m Undertaking a spot of painting and went to remove my leaking mushrooms - now I know why they are leaking!!! the screws holding them down have all sheared off bar one on two of my vents, with just the one screw and the sillicon holding them in place.. how do you get the screws out? with a screw remover I guess. But I’ll ask the experts hope you all keeping well out there David
  12. Bless you Richard all good old stuff and it will help me get there... keep safe n well v/best wishes David ⚓️
  13. Thank you Tony some great ideas there... really appreciate your reply & for taking the time to research my enquiry!! keep safe n well v/best regards David
  14. Good afternoon one and all... can I tag onto the end of this lead please? i have just found out after 3 years afloat that the 3 pin (not round) sockets I have, are in fact live... wired a plug up and touched the 2 ends to a 12v bulb... a truly enlightening experience... have followed the above avidly but have a question please!!! can I get a 12v usb charger that plugs into the 3 pin socket, one that starts out life as 12v, or would I need to wire a usb socket to the end of my cable? or maybe even a usb 12v car charger, cutting the end off, although it’s been said on here it can overheat ... don't want to tinker with me “working” sockets !!! PS... I realise my question has essentially been answered in the posts above, but being no sparky, just checking!!! i think the Lidl device would have been good by the way!!! I thank you David
  15. Just going to have to sit on it for now.... whatever the inconvenience of the convenience might throw up ?... thank you so much to everyone for your help and assistance... really, really appreciated! happy boating ⚓️⚓️⚓️
