Yep still got power and agree need to get it sorted thanks all happy new year to you all
-
Don’t know tbh (am s**t at this stuff) however I checked all the connections and a lot of water came out of this (pic) since I did this the trip has not tripped - about 10 mins now - so I could have been this
-
Am going to try suggestions and will report back - thank you to all
-
It’s just the switch shown in the pic that trips (on front of bollard) when I swopped over this tripped on the other outlet which suggests it’s something to do with my boat have only just come back on board after 6 weeks so boat is damp boat is v old (30 years) and mainly 12v with 240 only for plug sockets when on shore power - don’t run kettle or any other electrical devices on board Am going to look and see if I can see rcd

This is a pic of the bollard Have swopped connections between two boats then will try rusty 123
-
Thanks everyone for suggestions and questions will try drying yes is bollard at marina - there are two boats plugged in 2 or 3 minutes - that’s what is confusing me as I would think a short would happen immediately? will update
-
Hi hive mind any idea why? Will obvs discuss with marina tomorrow but just can’t work it out after 2/3 minutes switch on shore charger flips off have tried with my power off and neighbours (shared charge point) on and still happens have tried with engine running/not running have tried with heating running/not running think it’s my boat or the shore line?
-
Thanks

Hi my bowman cap (no I didn’t know it was called that either) has a hole and the engine overheated i have a new one - the question is does the water/antifreeze I put into the heat exchanger also go into the swim tank or are they on separate circuits? I have a thornycroft Mitsubishi 3cyl engine - pic of bodge job used to get me to a safmooring on the avon

thanks all for advice, understand red fades - problem is i like the colour! So i think i will have to live with the fade.

look - i know all that assume competent painter how long will it last ? Seren-y-dwr narrowboat .pdf

so blacked to gunnels by ABC and painted red above that by them in 2017. Some areas seem undercoated, others dont, overall dont think its very good. So I have been topping up myself. However i would like to know if a reputable painter did a job - how long would you expect it to last?
-
Hi all and hive mind - question: how often does a boat need painting? I had a professional paint in 2017 but blacked to the gunnels. Paint is now looking tired and i have topped up/done areas but am unsure how long a professional paint job should last (am not impressed with job done btw). I did try to search google and this site for this but have had no joy.
