Cheers Pirtek in stoke, ill try em on Monday, its funny you mentioned the banjo, when I was looking at the photo in light of Tony's comments I noticed the hose looked strained. By slackening the banjo and rotating it clockwise a bit the hose would be a lot more relaxed. The first time I remember this boat losing traction due to loss of hydraulic oil was about 5 years ago. Its been an intermittent fault but that's a hell of a lot of nappies since. An oily bilge gathers no rot; or some such nonsense but its cheaper and easier to apply than paint.

anybody know someone who can make custom hoses preferably near to Macclesfield. We could take that hose off and get new hose recrimped onto the same fittings. would be cheap enough to be worth a shot even if just for elimination purposes

ok a leaky crimp. id love to believe it. all the joints on those hoses have bits of clean rag wrapped round them to just in case the gearbox finally wants to tattle tale where its leaking from. i admit that it would be an immense help if i had the foggiest idea how a hydraulic gearbox worked in the first place.

that photo shows the oil cooler hoses and itsd even the right way up weyhey not that it matters. the suspect hose is the one by the red wire. I dunno what it does. My own gearbox (a newage) does not have a hose here, just a brass plug which i believe has a seal behind it .

that is the hose in question which rather unhelpfully has come out upside down. it doesnt go to the oil cooler it just goes back into the gearbox. The oil cooler hose is the one on the left of the upside down photo. bear with me a bit

Hi I would like help with a with a Kingfisher 14D and in particular the MA 100 gearbox. The gearbox leaks hydraulic oil, not always coz that would be too easy. Only when you aren't looking. OK so keep looking problem solved. But seriously there is a hose near where the linkage that selects forward and reverse is located on the top of the gearbox. I suspect that the leak is from there (or at least one leak is from there.) Is there anyone who understands how this thing works who could give me some pointers. Preferably someone with a yard full of free 14D spares who likes working on these engines so much that they ll send me to the pub at their own expense so they can get on with fixing it gratis in peace and quiet but thats just a negotiating position. I may have to move on that.

ekkythump i say that something of a googly isnt it suggesting that one forego the pleasures of Burnley and Nelson in favour of anywhere within 100 miles of Nelson's Column

Just what i wanted to hear David, Thank you.. As i suspected The 70MAX was more a guideline than a rule 😉 Not a problem with ever going to Leeds or Liverpool... I've been ... they are dumps point of order. whilst i wont disagree with you it is only fair to point out that sdome of the bits in between are very nice indeed

woo hoo Swilby cheers for that we been wondering. Thought it a standard CRT joke. you can only get a card if they post it to you, if y got an address then why would y need one. Alton abroad tomorrow. will try to trade for some more holes to put in their silencer.

She's a bl bl bl bl bl b b bbb bbbb bbbbbb Bickerstaffe boat that's all folks

what do you want for the Morso ?

wouldn't it be easier to watch the video

cool are CRT enforcement still ............................

highly unsuitable (has no beer in it) innit

will they really gi ya a phd for typing the answers to that into SPSS ?

Athy, glad to see you have adopted a more appropriate avatar. On matters relating to broccoli one refers to, "Cubby."

do as de fisherman do if a signal crayfish wanders into my keepnet I cannot return it coz its an invasive species the chicken in the keepnet is there to keep all the fish i catch fed i catch no fish because there is no bait on my hook there is no bait on my hook coz theres no hook on my line i just enjoy sitting by the cut drinking beer and i can trade all the signals for a chinese meal on the way home good day out you know who you are and having no hook gets you out of a rod licence too

and to complete the circle if you fill with compound you will never be able to inspect this area in the future which may be to your great disadvantage or as Elvis put it WTF i dont care

Patron 13.5k Gender:Male Boat Name:Belfast 115 Posted 2 minutes ago I'm sure that in the past I have come across low-decked tug style boats with the gas bottles in the bow locker, where the only way to fit the bottles in below the deck hatch was to have the locker floor well below water level, with a long vertical slot for the drain, and the bottles permanently sitting in a few inches of water. Not sure the BSS would allow that now! I think The BSS would for a couple of reasons. there is nothing in section 7 of the BSS to prevent it. And (dont start a sentence with a conjunciton) it is not actually dangerous from the point of view of gas build-up and explosion. Of course it does mean that if the floor of your wet locker corrodes (as it will) and then rusts through (as it will without careful maintenence) then there is a direct route for water to flow from the canal, into your bilge thus lowering the boat in the water enabling more water to flow from the canal, into your bilge and then guess what youre sunk. However that is not a BSS issue and if youre aware that the botom of your wet lockers is below the waterline then it is a copeable with issue. Frankly if I was designing a boat then wet lockers would be banned verboten and to all extents done away with but lots of boats have em. Isnt there a BSS examiner on here who can settle this ? I got a pound of flesh spare ( more than one actually)

section 7.3.2 does not require that. It relates specifically to areas IN the gas locker not BELOW the gas locker. theres an important and logical difference

sorry meant does NOT run the width of the boat
