>> I am sure they had similar challenges in the Saturn 5 development.
Depends whether you intend to award the contract to the lowest tender...

Whilst you may have 28mm connections on the back boiler, your pump needs to be matched to the available heat capacity and the radiator output, so a smaller pump will be more than adequate. What rating is your back boiler?
If the water is circulating, it will be travelling faster through the smaller diameter pipework (volume flowrate will be the same, of course).
Does this means that less heat is transferred to the surroundings?

In Spain presently. Lemons everywhere.
How do you know, if you're not there yet?

Folks wot lives on boats do shopping, do they not?

It's only halfway to an arbitrary 'fail' line.
Perhaps it's just indicating a completely normal and benign phenomenon?
At present....

A squirt with this would be best:
That, and the non-metal prodder.
Also, the "press power button to reset" thing can take what seems an age (over 30 seconds), as I found put recently on my laptop (which by the way has a USB C socket for external power).

Has anyone in all history ever successfully sued a surveyor?
Probably immaterial, Arthur. The insurance company might take a hit on one policy, but they would not give the surveyor any more work ... and insurance companies talk to each other. The result would be that no insurer would accept any of that surveyor's reports, thereby effectively eliminating his business and protecting the shareholders of all insurance companies.
As somebody has already implied, insurers are much, much bigger than one insignificant boat owner.

What effect do these strange methods have on the skins?
I do like a nice leathery jacket, which is what you get when you bake a spud properly ... in an Aga.

Two world-class football clubs eh? Sounds like a good reason to stay away to me... 😉
We'll try to get over living without you.
I must admit I'd rather go to Edgeley Park though.

Comparison between Manchester and Birmingham?
One is a world class city with two world class football clubs.
The other is Birmingham.

I don't normally look at the political section but it looks as if I have slid into it.
Only because someone who should have known better referenced current affairs, slightly obliquely.

Only the ones with the mathematical abilities of an Amoeba.
I don't think that's what Hester was referring to.
Perhaps you know better, courtesy of your vast experience of racist misogynist wingnuttery.

I saw a chap on the Ashby making a good job of his textured roof with battery powered pressure washed and canal water
Was he stripping it or painting it?
😀

Six feet apart or at six-foot centres? The difference might matter!

If the OP is looking for a cheap pressure washer he'd do well to forget the fancy Kaercher stuff and get a decent Chinese knock-off instead. B&Q do a decent MacAllister one, better spec than the Kaercher model for similar money. I've had one for a couple of years.
I wouldn't use it on a boat, though: it's too easy to strip old paint with it.

Cobblers.
If the boat rocks every time a cylinder fires, it is vibration. As Blackrose says, it's very low frequency, with oscillation about a point of equilibrium, so it is vibration.

Saab is Swedish.
Sabb is Norwegian.
-
Point of order.
It's not a Saab engine. Saab is an aircraft company, and was a car manufacturer.
The marine engine builder is Sabb.

Our terminology has always been "front" and "back" (occasionally "stern"). We don't hold with all this pseudo-marine posturing.

There's confusion between a household "radiator" and a radiator in a physics sense. The latter is a surface that radiates heat, not a specific device.

The key might be in the thread title, which is "Non-renewal of my mooring agreement"
What does the agreement say about renewal?
It there is nothing in writing, the OP hasn't a leg to stand on.

A few hours to replace power used maybe, but it takes a minimum of 24hrs to fully recharge so in reality if batts are used they will never reach a full charge, at best just a slow deterioration.
You don't use power from batteries, you use energy.

There are other things than boating. Be positive, look forward and not back. As my Auntie used to say, "Yer a long time dead, kid".
Besides, there are no pockets in a shroud. If you've got it, spend it.
I draw a state pension, but I don't call it old age pension ... because I'm not old!

It seems to me that the OP, and Mr Truckcab, are both suffering under the misapprehension that nuances can be expressed in a web post.
They can't, and they shouldn't be inferred either.
Dropped a plastic bottle cap into fresh water tank pipe. please suggest

My thoughts exactly. It's doing no harm. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
