Artful Dronald

Evening all, My boat has a pokey out fuel cap(technical term), it is currently only tightened with a wrench which obviously isn't very secure. I've been looking online for clever solutions and I can't find anything off-the-shelf that will work. I found a boat with the same design as mine as they have got a lock on it, any idea where I can find these? Or any better ideas? picture below for guidance Many thanks, Graham

Good idea - thanks Yes, currently in a Marina for the next month at least I've installed two 250w solar panels which is charging my batteries very well for my current needs

The inverter tries to run the machine but then shows the fault light and makes a loud noise! Sounds like you're right, it needs more power to get it going, I wish that was clearer before I bought it - returns are an issue right now! Thank you it's modified sine wave... Hmm maybe a bigger investment in an inverter is needed for this

Hello everyone, I have just moved aboard my first narrowboat and I wanted to do so with as few modcons as possible, I have however, decided that I need to wash clothes and not be going to a launderette. I ordered the twin tub washing machine below.... Total Power: 360w https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L89RRFP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I thought I would be able to run this off my small 500w Sunshine sine wave power inverter but it's not playing ball. Any ideas what I missed? Please be gentle - complete novice Many thanks, Graham
