Good news well done

Not knowing your set up, I would be inclined to connect a garden hose to the mains and the other end to my system (open the system) and flush out any foreign body that might be in side! Does the trym of your boat have any effect normally?

Generally if there is air in a closed system it will make its way to the highest point in the system, the circulation pump can start making a racket due to cavitation caused by the air.

I found the scaffold plank gangway, too narrow, too slippy and heavy. I took a 2.5m section of aluminium ladder from my garage and pop riveted 2.0mm thick aluminium chequer plate to the rings. No more maintenance. Hope this helps?

Thank you,
