  1. I think being able to report overstayers is a good idea. Same old boats in same old places.. Continuous Moorers.. Freeloading scruffs.. Call em what you will. It's life experience that leads me to believe it's unlikely they are licensed. I've even met some " Anarchists " who refused to pay. Yet enjoyed the luxury of water in the canal etc. Contentious perhaps..
  2. Anyone heading to the picturesque and historical town of Lincoln? Just a heads up about the visitor mooring adjacent to the university, before you enter Brayford Pool. There are some overstaying cruisers, piles of rubbish and large unfriendly dogs. Really not a pleasant stop over. Theses louts are ruining it for everyone visiting. CRT...Toothless and unable to intervene as usual!!!!
  3. Paloma Bob serviced mine years ago. My last BSS the examiner said it was the cleanest burning Paloma he'd seen. In constant use..Great piece of kit 👌
  4. Have you checked the main filter bowl. That would affect all settings if it's blocked / full of water? I run a 66 constantly in winter. Best ever purchase I've made for the boat!
  5. I've already got a jubilee clip / innertube combo ready to go on to speed it up. It was a water point. Elsan is twenty yards away.
  6. It was laid out in bits on the side. With no tap fitted to the water point. I obviously don't travel much..especially down south. Thank you for input
  7. Have CRT changed the tap fittings...thus thing is useless..sprays out the 4 holes. What is it.
  8. It's out ...wasn't easy. It's out ...wasn't easy.
  9. Thanks again. That's exactly where I'm headed. Seems moving actual engine will be simpler. The four nuts have come off easily and I now have movement. But not enough laterally and I don't want to disassemble the Coupling. Thankfully I created an access panel in the bulkhead in front of the engine. So access is reasonable all things considered.
  10. Thank You for the input. I can see that you are likely correct. Don't see much chance of moving shaft. And I am still in the water, so perhaps moving engine is the better choice..
  11. Hey folks. I need to remove my bell housing as its cracked. So I need to remove this coupling. Any ideas on a name or manual to understand it would be appreciated.
  12. Bit of a shame. Quite pricey moorings too. But you live on a boat? So move on maybe..thats sort of the point isn't it?
  13. Clearly it may be offensive to some. But is not racist. Wearing a hijab or niqab is not dependent on race. Your lack of understanding of the diversity issues involved offends my sensibilities.
  14. It's not Green Heron. It's a beige menagerie of a boat full of plants and stuff. Used to be in Brayford and on the visitor mooring at the entrance before the road bridge. Don't know the owner or circumstances. But still not good to see, and a boat with no window will soon be on the bottom if it isn't sorted.
  15. Sadly there is another vandalised boat on the Fossedyke. Mooring at Woodcocks Pub. A Dutch Barge with all its windows smashed. Looked like a liveaboard and I've seen it around a fair bit. Very sad to see, be safe out there folks 🙏
