Any good advice/websites on TV reception equipment for our new boat?

I don't want a standard house ariel

Thanks guys

I've been onto bimble solar and seen the gear I think I need, but I'd still like to have them professionally installed which is where my problem lies

Had my survey done there yesterday, Rob and the chaps where great and the boat passed the survey, thanks for the picture

 Looks like I'll be the first to tell you how much a suitcase generator will hack off your neighbours!

 I'm sure they can be annoying but my choices are limited, I have no shore power, thats why I'm trying to get the quietest one possible, this Senci is supposed to be as quiet as they can be. 50 to 60 db is quoted

I'd love to say I'm getting solar soon but trying to get anyone to give me a quote is proving very difficult indeed

Two points. 

1. If you’re getting Solar soon then simply run the engine for charging in the interim. The issue of bore glazing is pretty much over-hyped these days with modern oils and a decent blast occasionally with the engine working hard will usually burn any glaze off.

Cheers mate just sent him a message, gradually getting the hang of this site

 

[Suitcase generators]

new to this, sorry

 

[Suitcase generators]

how do I get a message to him?

 

[Suitcase generators]

ok thanks, 

I'm trying to get someone to help me with a planned solar install, I've been to bimble to get a rough price on equipment (but my knowledge is limited), all the boat electricians I've been put on to haven't got back to me, any ideas who I could try?  

The generator is a stop gap, I don't want to glaze the engine pistons running on idle to charge the batteries in between trips, I have no shore based anything

That's good. You will have two very low bridges and one quite low to pass under. First is Roydon railway bridge, not so low. Next is Kecksys railway bridge Sawbridgeworth, very low and lastly the footbridge at the entrance off the Stort into the marina, vert low. Most boats, wide and narrow pass under them with chimney's and things sticking up removed.

Cheers for you help, today's trip went well, I noticed the bridges and the boat passed the survey so all good, thanks again

hello everyone, I'm thinking of buying a Senci SC2000i Inverter Petrol Generator (2000kw max, 1600kw continuous  ).

Has anyone got or use one?

Are they any good?

How long would you estimate it would take to charge three 110ah leisure batteries from 50%?

[general questions]

Hello me hearties, thanks for your response, keep your eyes peeled.

[general questions]

Hello, Debbie here using craigs forum, thanks, new to boating, would like to know what you say instead of hello to other boaters?

[Visitor moorings on the Hertford Union Canal]

No way, have the police done anything? Anyone been caught? 

 

[Visitor moorings on the Hertford Union Canal]

wow, that doesn't sound good, what did they steal or was it vandalism? 

I need to be there mid May, are people watching other peoples boats or is it every man for himself?

Thanks for the responses by the way

[Solar Panels/Wind/Generators]

Thanks chaps very helpful, its a bit of a minefield!

 

[Visitor moorings on the Hertford Union Canal]

Are there any visitor moorings on the Hertford Union Canal near Victoria Park? If so how hard are they to come by?
