"Fuse are marked with the current that they will continuously pass (at a specified temperature) without blowing, known as the continuous rating. It is good practice not to allow the continuous current to exceed 75% of the fuse's rated value to accommodate momentary current surges that might cause the fuse to fatigue over time or blow unnecessarily (nuisance blow)."

There are areas of the Shroppie - like round High Onn that have very poor coverage if you are inside the boat.. I was simply pointing out that is something they needed to aware of, but apparently you are accusing me of lying. I guess I should just shut up and not offer any advice.... and people wonder why people give on on this forum.

Vitally important to remember if you are using Teak Oil... can cause spontaneous combustion of rags if kept screwed up,

You need to be aware that there are still quite extensive areas on the canal system that have patchy mobile phone coverage - there are a lot of areas where 4G (let alone 5G) isn't available. What area of the country are you looking at? You might find that "continuous cruising" isn't actually practical in some areas as they are basically over capacity in the summer months - or rather you might not be able to moor in a location with good internet.

they're both custom built jobs on ours

That sounds a bit worrying - how did it get kinked in the first place?

The vacuum driven driveshaft clutches on the front wheels were a brilliant idea but just badly implemented. The rear leaf springs split a bit too often, the rear open section rusted through in a few places and the brakes seem to be a continual source of pain and there's been quite a few problems with the exhaust manifolds He also had quite a few electrical gremlins - like parts of the dashboard failing. Despite that he still likes it.

My stepson has an F150 - it's a crock. Unless they've really turned their game around the electric version is going to be a money pit.
