Thank you for confirming the boat in question is moored appropriately.

This picture appears to show ample room for another boat to get water assuming the bollard is the water point. Nothing apparently wrong with that.

This is the case at a marina near my home berth where they will only sell at the 60/40 if its going into a boat. But they will allow 100% domestic if its a small quantity like 20L going into a can/tub.

I think you can probably get a discount if you buy a significant volume. Not sure what that volume is but guess its greater than the volume of most boat tanks. I have never heard of greater than the pump price charged for a smaller volumes. The nearby marina is happy to sell 20L at domestic rate as long as it goes into a tub or jerry can and not into a boat.

I figured Carols forecast may have been for Scotland. Maybe you should have been clearer about the country where snow was forecast .

I agree Also if kept clean , which in many cases is not really very challenging, its easier to spot any developing fluid leaks.

I guess there was some some snow somewhere . But i didn't see any. Did you ?

But it didn't work I did have an A series in one car that dis not leak oil but I think that was unique

The data below from Renology states 100W from a 1.062m x 0.53m panel. That comes to 177W per square metre while the Renology 200W panel is almost exactly 1 square metre . A domestic solar installer on the internet claimed more like 150W per square metre which may be more of a real life expectation.

It will be interesting to discover why.

The OP may think you are talking about a new boat. I think you are probably talking about an old boat which you bought recently?

Skin fittings on boats may often be close to the waterline or even below the waterline . I don;t have a picture of skin fittings below the waterline but I do have three on my boat and there is nothing unusual about that. What is important is what happens to the hose attached to the skin fittings inside the boat. The hose or the item inside the boat has to extend sufficiently far above the waterline to prevent sinking . On a lumpy water boat this has to consider the boat heeled over as in when sailing, when a powerful motorboat is in a turn, or the effects of waves . On a canal boat somewhat less of a risk, perhaps but still there can be waves even if on a modest scale.

Or perhaps not

I recently did a wash while the boat was ashore with assistance from various brushes , a mop and microfibre cloths . I also used some Demon Foam mixed with plenty of water which worked very well at dissolving muck from being ashore near trees . Brushing into the slip resistant surfaces was necessary but the foam had done it work and the dirt lifted easily. Some folks may worry about the foam in the aquatic environment in which case the cleaning product may be used sparingly. If you use a jet wash then be prepared to clean the adjacent boats in the marina of all the muck that you may blast onto them.

Was that with full tanks?
