  1. Mrs cuffs me twice when I do nothing.
  2. Must be the gas repeating.
  3. I've just retired from working for a well known waist management company dealing with human waist, tankering from sesspits to spreading on crop fields,(yes you probably eat it) what I am seeing on the water here is not human waist but rotting vegetation and algie so much algie the water has turned a lovely green with brown patches.caused buy the heat wave we are having. All of it goes in the head of the works, either through pipes or tanker they don't sepperate blue added or not.
  4. I was born in the 50s David, I was referring to its age 70 years isn't bad with wood and metal shrinking and expanding over that period it's done pretty well.
  5. Rotting vegetation creating methane which bubbles up to surface bringing said turd looking stuff with it. Marina where I am is full of it.
  6. For someone to build a wheel with the equipment and glues they had in the 50s I'd say they had a rough idea of what they were doing. Nearly 70 years old and just a few cracks I'd say fair wear and tear.
  7. Take the metal ring off clean the joints glue and cramp (tourniquet) put ring back in a new position so not to use same holes.
  8. Did the OP get a new solenoid with the starter or had to use old/original.
  9. If they are labcraft lights they now do led equivalents. I got mine from there agent Dun-Bri. They may have a Dun-Bri near you if not phone labcraft and ask who stocks them closest to you. Hope it helps.
  10. Engineer try's to work out what's broken and how it can be fixed. Mathmatition try's to work out how long it's gonna take. Me, have I got time to make a sarny as well as a brew.
  11. It depends were you are, rivers only licence is a bit cheaper.
  12. So what was the answer to the question ( why was the red light on )
  13. They are posts to fix tie rods to, to hold concrete upright.
  14. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 10 posts to view.
  15. I've always found it best not to argue with safety examiners even if I don't agree. At the end of the day there not the one who needs BSS certificate. A nice cup of tea (how do you like it, always asked.) And a slice of cake when they arrive I think is best .
  16. When I first acquired my boat the super was the same wood with thin sheet cladding and leaked like a cullinder, I stripped off cladding repaired and treated wood put cladding back stuck down with sicaflex, New joint strips stuck down with sicaflex lots of it, I used handrails and wedges to force cladding down. NO SCREWS. It fixed the problem until I could afford a new steel super.
  17. I'm with HN Johnson, there not to bad. Most will only pay out the minimum they have to,, the same as all insurance providers.
  18. As Bizz says nearest marina to you, they have a variety and not overly priced . I use a jabsco parmax 4. It depends on what your setup with outlets are if you have an accumulator. If what you've got works with no trouble. Then just a straight swap.
  19. Yes, used a few times, once on boat took a long time but it works. That saying there may not be any thing to tie round.
  20. If you can get to a tree behind you with a rope tie one end to boat go round tree back to boat tiller bar between rope and wind it, makeshift winch. I can't think of what you call it.
  21. It's run buy owners sun-in-law now always was well kept, I've not been back there for 4 years had muffin craned out last time, had to over plate counters and I wasn't sure if I could do it in the week slot you get in the mills dry dock. Good job I never tried !
