My boat had a marine mortgage when she was built has all numbers and weight welded on the hull, when I enquired to lloyds they sent me the paperwork for her it has name of builder and original owners details and amount the mortgage was for. They also asked if I would like to keep her registered for money's I declined that part.

Thanks I will decide which route when I get closer to split, I'd like to do the sour but the weather may change my mind.

Thanks Alan, we have three anodes down each side and the sides are not under cut at baseplate so it all counts were not due out of water yet so I don't want the expense of crane just to grind them off because I will have to black as well ( as a matter of corse ) so just inquiring about widths.
-
Now fully retired we've decided to move our N/B to Sawley Marina and cruise that part of the country. Our beam is 6' 10" with straight sides plus anodes so the we are probably 7' 2" ish Chould there be any tight spots in locks on any of the routes from the south. TIA.

An unusually large number of historic boats on the open market at the moment.
Often they don't get publicly advertised.
These are I think all fairly recent additions....
Butty "Taurus" (Price includes "Free" Roger Fuller motor "Snipe"! - Hotel boats)
These have all been around a while, I think - try an offer!
Another just gone come up for sale. Sun reg no: 49723 here roydon Marina motorised butty.

I would’ve thought post stretching it would immediately need a boat safety certificate and therefore insurance companies and CRT would be notified immediately?
I would have though all party's have to be informed as details of length would be false.

I know you've no idea what size battery bank you need but, you're small's will be the cleanest on the cut.

for the extra £s these cost I thought I'd try and get the charging right.
-
Thanks Julian, my charger is set for half of yours for 12v. Takes an age to get to 100%. Did they last as long as other deep cycle? My AC power is through a 2000w gen, not a cheep way but no other way of charging for a while. (Engine out for another week)
-
I think i will find it'll be different again when using alternator. Engine going back in next week so will see.
-
i was sent both leaflets from crown and they contedict each other so was not sure. I think it maybe an expensive new charger.
-
Thanks Robbo that's about what it's doing. At the moment. My engine is out and I'm not on shoreline so using generator every day and I don't want to f them up. Thanks again.
-
Has anyone used or using crown cr235 deep cycle batteries if so what charge settings are used. Crown leaflet says as far as I can work out is 14.2 for both and float, the closest I can get and what I'm charging at is 14.6 bulk and 13.7 float. Does that seem okay?
Thanks in advance.
-
Could it be a split charger relay faulty?

Don’t make it too yellow or you may have problems with crt manned tunnels as you are required to have a white light at the front.
That said you can get stained glass filter on eBay that might do what you want with a cold led light. Something like this
That cheaper than Bizards tin of sweets and you keep your teeth.
-
I don't suppose they'll mind as long as you pay from the beginning of the month you purchased the boat, which I think you are liable for anyway.

Whatever one chooses to call it, the plywood lining on the inside of the cabin sides aren't bulkheads.
The outside bulkheads are bulkheads. They separate the cabin from the bow or stern decks. But I've never heard anyone refer to cabin sides as bulkheads.
I think it's what you just called it a lining. What ever material is used ply, t & g. Etc.

LadyG,,are you thinking this tin stowage is not a safe idea?:)

You could try lea valley Marina at Stansted abbotts or hallingbury Marina on the Stort they may have a slot.
