nigel carton

Brill thank you Bod, I was was starting to think it was integrated into the water pump case like on my Perkins perama virtual beer 🍺 heading your way

Ok, just found a receipt with engine model, Mitsubishi K4D-61SS I’m googling away like a mad man 😂

Yeah I found that link earlier.

I’ll find out and get back 👍

Hi, I have the above engine ( Mitsubishi) in my boat. Does anybody know where the coolant thermostat is housed? There’s no obvious thermostat housing. The engine is 21 years old. thanks in advance

Yeah on me way with crt’s blessings

No none are manned but there’s maintenance work going on at Holme lock and we have to be locked through

Yes nice day today. Only a short one though as Holme lock is closed for the weekend, I’m getting locked through tomorrow ?

Yeah waste of fecking time. ? what we need is people like you Martyn to stand as an expert witness when a boater had died from CO poisoning. yep let’s scrap the BSS

I can confirm that all inspection work is postponed until the 14th of April. I feel this may be extended. please stay safe

Hi, it’s well above the water line. I’ve managed to un seize both pots, refitting cylinder heads tomorrow

The exhaust outlet is high up on the stern. No visible tide marks. Strange one this

Worse than that Richard, pumped engine oil out, unfortunately not oil but a bucket full of water. The boat hasn’t sunk, I can only guess this was deliberate.

Looking at freeing off a lister ST2. Was running fine 6 months ago but previous owner hasn’t run it since. I’m going to try and turn the crank shaft with cylinders decompressed , if no joy, remove injectors and squirt diesel in and leave for 24hours. Any thoughts?

Phone me next Alan, as long as you have me a brew ready, I won’t miss anything, very thorough, your safety, my signature on the certificate ?

I was going to have a rant about people who criticise the boat Safety Scheme, but f*@k it, I can’t be arsed. If your not happy with the way your inspection went, and at the end of the day it’s your safety, then phone the Bss office. Had a phone call from a boater last night asking about ventilation on a friends boat, and how his friend had removed battery from CO alarm because it keeps going off. Im now at my expense driving up to this boat to find out wtf is going on before somebody dies.

I’m here ?

Have the restrictions been lifted? According to Crt stoppages page, the restrictions are still in force, but when was that last updated ?
