Thanks very much

We had someone come to inspect it who said as much. We only noticed the problem after we had been out and about so it's on the 12v system. We're on the Great Ouse and we're plugged in with a galvanic isolator. It's all over without the raised pitting. Since we've moved off the boat and stopped using electrics, it hasn't got any worse. Everyone we've gone to has said it's galvanic corrosion. The suspicion is that, as the fit out was done by a previous owner, it was potentially done wrong.

We had a galvanic isolator wired up the wrong way which would have exacerbated the problem and then we had the Hull sanded, welded and re-blacked. We had someone come to inspect it who said as much.

We have had some issues with our Hull rusting; we thought we had the problem fixed in October but the rust has returned! The issue has been caused by electrolysis but we don't know enough about electrics to go looking for the problem. Does anyone know of anybody in the cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire area who can help?

I don't think it's Epping. I can send you some more pictures and dimensions directly if you're interested?

Thanka very much for all your help!

Do you mind me asking how much you got for it?

Definitely have that same smoky problem! Yeah, I think that's where I'm going with the project.

Thanks for the info. The board is 12mm. I think I may have put a hefty amount of cement on though. ?

Hihi, I recently tiled my fireplace in the back end of the boat because I thought there needed to be a certain amount of insulation/air gap, etc. Now the fire doesn't fit. Am I able to just have the tiles without the backerboard? When we took the previous tiles off, they were against the wood which wasn't burned. I tried to look on the BSS website to see what their advice was but I couldn't find anything about what should surround the stove. Any help/advice is appreciated; don't want to burn down in the night!
