[Locating shower bilge pump]

If you find it, it may be that the filter is blocked and needs cleaning. That will sort the slow running problem. 

 

[Disgusted]

Its strange but when I built my first boat in the early 90s then ventured out on the cut and read the Waterway press the same sort of discussion took place. Letters to the editor from disgruntled of......... You know the sort. Now I read the forums and the same sort of gripe appears here. Nothing new really just the way its expressed. I find that boaters, hirer,s or owners are there to enjoy themselves. If you treat people with respect then usually they do the same to you. Of course there are exceptions, and its pretty easily to spot them within a few seconds of conversation. So ignore them and do not let them ruin your day.

Happy boating

Why would you buy a new boat with no intention of moving it. It makes no sense. A static caravan would be much cheaper less maintainance and probable cheaper ground rent than a mooring.

  

[simple (??) inverter question]

This is my first posting on the forum. I have read a large amount of advice on here and gained an insight into problems that may or will occur on my travels around the system. Unfortunately I am in the position electrically of being a numskull. So some of the advice goes over the top of my head not entering my feeble brain.

The point of this posting is to ask well meaning contributors who have a wealth of knowledge not to overdue the technical aspect of the problem. If the OP is like me he does not access the site when on the cut so replies may be later than would be helpful to those answering the question.  If the OP decides not to take the advice, its his choice and his money so should not be castigated.
