Exactly!

I cut a steel plate to size as a spare, cheaper and more durable in storage than a spare glass.

Royal Yachting Association boat bill of sale. Google it yourself.

I know where potable water comes from and the processes involved in ensuring that it is to a safe standard. It is much more involved than a few filters on a boat and it is constantly tested.

Its a silly and dangerous idea. Someone is going to get seriously sick and die doing this. Darwin Awards candidates.

Show me any connection with the stop solenoid on the deluxe panel diagram.

Is there a good reason for messing about filtering contaminated unpotable canal water?

Perhaps, but I can see no evidence of it on the panel wiring diagram, just a feed from the key switch to the starter solenoid.

I am intensely sceptical that anything to do with a stop solenoid would cause the starter solenoid to click and not engage the starter. The stop solenoid cuts off the fuel supply to stop the engine when it is running. That is all. I have a deep distrust of RCR from many years of experience.

The Oxford canal is a narrow canal, keep your wide boat away as you will cause untold aggravation to everyone else and it will be most unpleasant for you and everyone.

Sounds like its a standard RCR make work, make money, job. I didn't know that there was a fuel solenoid.

The weight of the water bears down on the paddle holding it against the culvert inlet rather than hanging vertically if that makes any difference.

If you get the valve you want to adjust fully open then turn crank one full turn exactly as Tony said, the valve must be full closed then. Works for any engine with any number of cylinders.

I have never worried about booking, the boats off the Bridgewater don't seem to bother when and how long they are on the C&RT waters in my observations.

Is the key switch out in the weather?

Hob Bright for electric solid cast iron hobs works fine and is easy as it is in a loaded foam pad.

Fit it so that its the first thing to hit the other boat broadside.

Not likely to matter with a slow running underworked motor in a canal boat.

I have no idea what that message means, is it in the instructions or if you ask? Try disconnecting it from the batteries for an hour, it may reset. Are the batteries fully charged? Did it do this because the engine was running? It must be either over volt or under volt trip.

Something like this K&N air filter. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/k-n-filters-universal-round-tapered-air-filter-244169/

You should still get the relay to connect when you rev the engine. It will just take a lot longer to get the batteries fully charged which you must do to prevent them sulphating and dying prematurely.

12.8v is fully charged for a 12v lead acid battery. Or do you mean the alternator is only outputting 13,1v instead of 14v and a bit more? What split charge relay is it that monitors the voltage? A relay does not do this. Do you mean a voltage sensitive relay? Which? I cannot see why this is a problem. Does it not connect the cabin batteries? The usual way is to charge the cabin batteries first, then connect the start battery as it needs less charge. The SR2 is difficult for charging because the alternator runs off the cam shaft at half engine speed, you need a large pulley on the cam and the smallest pulley possible on the alternator.
