Morning all in what mode should my inverter be whilst cruising, on, off or charging. Thanks in advance.

I am 100% positive that you cannot remove fish from the canal if caught you will be prosecuted with fines that are very high. I believe you can remove non-native fish from the canal ie: Zander but check the canal and river trust website I know it is not allowed to remove Zander from the rivers.

Thanks, Dave I am getting on a bit and did hope to outlive the engine Lol but yes I agree that regular maintenance is key to long-life

Morning to you and thanks for your feedback the engine is coupled to a PRM150 gearbox so if I buy the boat which I am positive that I will I follow your advice Thanks again, Kevin Yes a valid point thanks. OK, thanks for your feedback.

What a brilliant response thanks to you all it is then as I thought but to have experienced boaters offering positive feedback has made my day. Cheers to you all. kevin.

Morning all I am in negotiations to buy a boat the boat was built in 2004 the engine is a Beta Maria 43hp according to the owner the engine has done 3.600 hours, now I am a novice with marine engines and lots to learn methinks do those that know think that 3.600 hours is reasonable for a boat of that age. Apparently, it was serviced in 2017 but has not been used since due to ill health. Your valid thoughts will be very much appreciated. Kevin.
