Hi All, Has anyone used this type of pigtail to save using a spanner ? Thanks John

Hi ditchy Have you tried Calcutt Boats, they have loads of BMC bits Address: Tomlow Rd, Stockton, Southam CV47 8HX Phone: 01926 813757

Fitted new steel back doors and liners. The doors were made by Martin Kedian who did a great job.

Moored in soggy Leamington tonight Stove lit ........... mmm so comfy Don't fancy Hatton in the rain tomorrow

I have used VARiHOST for a few years now they host Alacrity's blog and another site for me. Varihost has the best customer service I have found anywhere. I emailed a question to Richard at Varihost one Sunday night at about 9 pm and had an answer by 10 pm. It's worth sending Richard an email. John

Hi Pam I use BILGEX to clean all the grease and oil residue http://www.force4.co.uk/1324/Force-4-Bilgex--1L.html then a rust remover such as Hammerite followed by a repaint with a primer then two top coats of grey Danboline bilge paint http://marinestore.co.uk/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PLYMA100-750X&Category_Code=international-paints&Store_Code=mrst

Try peanut butter crunchy or smooth as bait on the trap These guys from the BBC series The Rat Pack swore by it John

Just got one too from ForumsAdministrator A plague on these people. John

Try Wharfhouse Narrowboats Braunston

I wouldn't use anything but a PRM. Their aftersales service is reliable and helpful just like their gearboxes

Phew he was lucky , All my battery connections have plastic covers and the spanner I use is covered in insulating tape. I remove my wedding ring and watch before working on the batteries, seen to many pictures of burnt wrists and fingers from my time with the REME.

The durite top up bottle saved me some grief I posted about it in my blog well worth the money John

Hi All, Please can anyone tell me the best way to seal the cast chimney plate on my roof. The last time I did it I used a polyurethane type sealant this was about two years ago and now its started to leak any help would be most apreciated. John
