PNB116

They are for sale at Midland Chandlers. I have had one for a few years now and certainly didn’t pay the current price! It works well for me though https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/products/ag-tiller-hinge-lift-up-brass-at-030-m

I had a similar finding on my first boat, a few years ago now, and if my memory serves me right a simple loop of hose pipe above the intake fixed it. Perhaps worth investigating? I’m not an expert but I think it may fail the BSS without it.

Which ever one the Admiral would like…

Dear all, ‘’I hope that you can help me with some suggestions. My bilge pump (narrowboat) has packed up, the auto feature isn’t working and thinks that it is always under water. The same one at Midland Chandlers is £65. As this is the second one to fail I was wondering what bilge pump people would recommend? many thanks Paul

Thanks to everyone. I will look into Captain Tolley’s crack (so to speak) it looks pretty good stuff. I will also ask at the local boatyard. Did you find that the screws came out ok? Worried that they will shear …

Hi all, I have some leaky windows and was wondering if anyone had an idea of what a boatyard might charge me to fix them (two windows removed and resealed) many thanks

This would suggest otherwise. Unless you have other evidence?

If it’s countryside that you are after my vote would be the Leicester Branch of the GU. I.e. Crick area.

Given the water companies inability or reluctance to treat sewage waste, one worries that they might try to save some more money and just pump the water as sewage into London?

Five and a half years of good luck for me then!

You have to put your name on your dog’s collar, so perhaps GDRP doesn’t count?

It started as ‘Four men in a boat’ but with recent inflation …

I have one (They are called Autoterm now) and it has worked well. I have had one issue but that was resolved with a free replacement. They have a 3 year guarantee. There is excellent support and advice from their Facebook group page. They only need to be run once a month for 30 minutes when not in use. The Comfort controller (human interface device) is excellent, runs up to 3 programs a day and can run in thermostat mode, will remind you when you need to run it. highly recommended. Much, much quieter than the Alde heater that it replaced

I would like to buy a copy of the Maidens Trip Dvd, could someone send me the working email address to order it please?

I’m sure this has been covered elsewhere, but this is what I have found out. Politicians keep saying that everyone will get this payment (£400) since April and again in July and accepted that the 1% who ‘live in a park home, houseboat or off the grid’ will get it, but have so far failed to announce how, except to say that it will be announced ‘this autumn’ We are, of course, being conveniently forgotten, but I would like to start pushing for this to happen soon. I am not a great ‘Twitter’ er, but have tried to ask some questions on there and wondered if those of you who knew more about it would like to push that.

I have also contacted CAB and hey will update me if they get anything more regards Paul
