  1. Sorry I've put through the wrong link. I was meant to post the diesel cap version not the petrol one. https://www.asap-supplies.com/perko-deck-filler-0540dpdchr
  2. I've found a fuel tank that is compliant. I'm not fitting an air vent to the tank but to the fuel cap. If I fit one of these fuel tank will it be compliant with the BSS as an air vent. https://www.asap-supplies.com/perko-deck-filler-0540dpgchr
  3. If I find a little fuel tank under 27 litres does that make things easier.
  4. Does anyone know whether this fuel tank would be BSS compliant? https://www.tcschandlery.co.uk/mobile/large-capacity-fuel-tanks-33ltr/p11344
  5. Contacted nearby Marina who sell 5 litre tubs of blacking paint for £36. Not as cheap as £18.00 per 5 litres at Toolstation but I would rather not pollute Canal with harmful chemicals. Got to keep the fish and ducks happy ?
  6. Looking for blacking paint. Will this paint do the job? https://www.toolstation.com/black-bituminous-paint/p88792?store=P2&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&mkwid=s_dm&pcrid=142475112888&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKEAjw__fnBRCNpvH8iqy4xl4SJAC4XERPuj1yPKmA_OzFeYMNhOfyDv-WYmjBguv9GS7ZARShrxoCT9Hw_wcB
  7. Not yet. I will figure it out.
  8. Spoken to propeller makers today. Best thing to do is take shaft out and plug hole. Send shaft to them. Job done?.
  9. When I last moved it, the propeller got stuck in weeds as low water, I then stopped, moored the boat up, removed weeds and propeller was still there when I left. Gone a few days later. I got in the river and searched the river around my boat and in a 15 metre radius. Nothing was found. A propeller can't just disappear by wind!!
  10. New information. I tried two bolts today and a one inch nut is too big so I'm going to try a 0.9 inch (22mm) nut tomorrow. I also made some clay casts today which are very accurate. Is it me or is 4 inches on the outside small for a drive shaft? Lock key length is 50mm. There is no lock hole on the drive shaft thread??
  11. Many thanks Bee. I saw someone taking out the shaft on YouTube and I reckon I can but I spoke to engineer today and they said it was a bit risky to take shaft out in water but might be the quickest and beat bet.
  12. It was on the boat as I moved it around 1.5 miles and checked propeller after.. it was still there when I left it. I came back and gone.
  13. I mean would it be easier just to get an outboard and stick that on for now?
  14. Perfect thanks for your help. I will find those measurements over the coming days. CRT local officer said to me he's extended my stay by 7 days to rectify the problem. Yeah right! I've got contacted boat movers in the area and out if area but they won't be able to move to boat for another 4 weeks and over . If I get the correct propeller it will take at least 2 weeks to come. Move it around with a stick?
  15. Spoke to Marine engineer today. Two ways of doing.. easiest is out of the water but there's no boat yards near me that can do it so he told me to speak to T.norris who are specialist's. Also read engine manual: Reduction gear ratio is 2:1 Propeller torque, cont. Rating, 7,65-7,95 kpm 55-57 ft.lbs Direction of rotation is left. Rpm is between 1500 and 1800
  16. Got some new measurements: Nut size - 2 cm diameter at beginning Middle of nut - 8cm circumference Beginning of outside shaft- 10cm circumference Drive shaft inside the boat- 10cm circumference Distance between gear box and shaft outlet- 15 inches Distance between drive shaft beginning outside and end outside- 4 inches Distance between beginning of screw and end of screw on drive shaft- 3.5 cm Size in middle between beginningng of sharf on outside and beginning of screw( not the end of screw) 9cm Distance between sharf and top hatch ridge beginning- 8 inches Distance at bottom protective plate to shaft- 7.2 inches. Company that makes propellers asked me for reduction ration, how do I get this? Most likely to be a 12 inch left propeller.
  17. Ok thanks. I'm going to do some double check measurements today. Seller is asking about reduction ration? Engine is Saab gg.
  18. So when I start the engine up and put it in forward drive looking forward as if you are sailing forward the drive shaft turns left ( anti- clockwise) and in reverse it turns the other way (clockwise)
  19. I took some measurements today: Nut size- 3 inches in circumference Beginning of outside propeller to end of shaft- 4 inches in length. Screw - 1.5 inches in length Gap between driveshaft and top of ridge as seen in weed hatch picture- 7 inches Forward drive the drive shaft turns left. Reverse drive the shaft turns right. Engine is 10bhp and rpm of 1800. 36 foot long narrowboat by 6 door wide.
  20. It's got a really big weed hatch and propeller can be reached very easily. It was in the water at the time but I'm starting to think it was fitted by the original bodger builder of the boat and probably had wrong non locking nut on it.
  21. Someone stole it but don't worry I just fitted a hidden camera on it last week. Face caught on camera... I know the person who actually stole it on camera, awaiting recovery or police will be called.
  22. No it wasn't? I'm curious... Whats wrong with Leighton Buzzard?
  23. I totally agree. Spending loads of money won't get it sorted. A lot of the work on the boat I will have to do myself. I bought the boat with the view that it had a brand new BSS and everything was in sound condition but no... I will come back in a few months to explain the full situation but at the moment I can't for legal reasons. But spread the word---- always get a survey done when you buy a boat unless you are very knowledgeable on narrow boats.
  24. Saab gg 10bhp 1960s hot bulb engine.
