Sorry mate, I missed that, how much and where are you please?

Thanks for suggestions and help. Will now have a think about which way to proceed, thanks again

It's a horizontal cylinder. Been told not to risk fitting a flange due to risk of leaks? Thanks for your offer Boater Sam, will see what else is suggested before making a decision. I am in Tattenhall marina.

Hi all, Happy days, we know have shoreline, 3 leisure batteries, smart charger and split charger etc. Howver the cost of including a hot water cylinder with immersion heater and coils for calorifier etc was around an extra £800! Our existing cylinder has no boss for am immersion to be fitted, so we still have to run the engine for hot water. Any suggestions resulting in a lower initial cost much appreciated. Electric supply for immersion is already wired and ready to go. cheers

Thanks again for the all time and effort put into these replies. I'm sure I will have many more questions going forward! Steve

Thanks again all, will be getting artic blue 2.5 cable for internal wiring from rcd to sockets. Is it acceptable to run cable in centre lighting void with 12 volt lighting? as running trunking under the gunnels would mean going through the bathroom and am not to sure about that?

Thanks for your advice and helpful comments guys it's much appreciated. Thinking of going down permanent supply route, are there any particular make of isolators you would recommend to help safeguard against corrosion?

Thanks for that it makes sense, however taking it a step further if I were to power a smart charger to my batteries via the same means would this still be safe from the point of view of corrosion?

Hi folks, I have read lots about galvanic isolators etc on here. My boat has no 230 volt equip on board just 12 volts and I am wondering if I run a shoreline in to the boat with a couple rcd protected sockets on the end and use just plug in equipment would I need an isolator? Many thanks in advance
