HI I gave the bow thruster a good discharge a then tested the volts at the battery end while charging i was getting 14.05 volts the cable size is 90mm2 over 60 foot David

We have a LEC 12v fridge been as good as gold the past 4 year David

I did not build the boat we had it done for us so not sure of the size but they were very big from what i can remember, they looked like big armor cables i will have a look at the weekend. David

Our bow thruster batteries are at the front of the boat and are charged by the 45 amp starter alternator via very thick cables. We have never yet had a problem using this system in 4 years not that we use the bow thruster much. David

I don't hear very good things about the 3 coverage ? Hi Mark We have a 3 network modem seem to work ok all over the midlands, 10 times better than the vodaphone one we had before Cheers David

Hi Bet thats not far of the mark depending on your mooring costs David

And we still not got a tug never will at this rate just keep the one we got David

Well you can be sure of one thing Dave will do a 1st class job David

Cheaper to get your water out of the tap me thinks why take a chance with death David

Found this on the web http://www.leptospirosis.org/ Filtration - does not work! Leptospira are incredibly small - they can pass through the pores in water filters, even those that claim to remove bacteria. They will pass easily through filters with a pore size of more than 0.2 micron, including membrane and charcoal types. High-pressure laboratory filters with a pore size of less than 0.1 micron will block them, but the typical hand-held water filters used by hikers, pool filters and the fitted cannisters used in some domestic kitchen applicanes are useless at removing leptospires - they are often used to separate leptospires from other bacteria when preparing samples for research, as the leptospires pass through but other bacteria don't! UV sterilisers These are also very effective against leptospira (and most other pathogens), and can be bought on all scales. Permanent systems for processing flowing water in a domestic house are available, but can be expensive and use electricity. Portable devices for camping and backpacking are also available, resembling a small flashlight or pen, and these can be used to sterilise a single cup of water - but need batteries. The advantage of using UV is that there are no chemicals involved, and the electricity required is less than for boiling the same volume. It does require the sample to be transparent though, so can't be used on things like milk Cheers David

The garden shop near the marina in Crick always have house coal and some boiler nuts. if you go to the garage in Welford they have a good range, maybe expensive phunicite at 11 quid a bag David

Just get one of these http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Antifreeze-Te...34Pa38Ta38Oa3j0 David

Hi Any decent machine shop will make you on one them in know time David

Hi What you need to do is find a friend with a working boat load it up with the crap and hide it in the long grass on the Leicester section of the GU no one will ever know David

Hi We had a problem with our Mastervolt inverter it was running on low volts and all the problem was a loose connection on the isolator switch maybe a good idea to check all the connections David

Just found this http://www.thetford-europe.com/web/show/id=91559/langid=42 David
