I bought four of the 130Ah ones back in October. They have noticeably lost capacity quite quickly. Not recommended.

Oops spoke too soon! Fault returned, so decided to get a pal to come out with the aforementioned ebay starter motor, and with his help had a go at swapping it over in Llangollen basin. Bit awkward to get to the bolts, but surprisingly easy job. New starter seems to be doing its job so fingers crossed. PS the cross referencing of Vetus/Sole/Mitsubishi starter motors took only a few minutes internetting, and saved a shedload of cash!

King Priam had an unusual affliction/blessing. He was Priapic. I thought the OP was after a special condom.

Update- after the problem got worse, to the point of not being able to rely on the engine turning over, I had a good poke round, and it turns out the starter/solenoid is OK, the problem being a weedy relay between the starter switch and the starter motor. The wiring at the relay was corroded. I remade the connections and since then it’s worked as it should. God knows why belting the starter with a hammer sometimes made it work! Anyway all’s well that ends well.

Thanks for the replies. The motor is a 3 cylinder Mitsubishi, marinised by Sole, the same engine is used by Vetus. Mine has 4500 hours on the clock. I looked for prices- the Vetus part is over £500!! I could only find second hand Sole prices, still over 400€ ebay to the rescue- £150 for a new part. I think I’ll remove the old starter when I get back to base and have a look to see if there’s an obvious fault, maybe have it reconditioned. Thanks

This morning I tried to start the engine, but nothing happened. All the right control panel lights came on, but no go. I checked that 12volts was getting to the starter relay, and the starter itself, all ok. After a bit of head scratching, I remembered from my MG Midget owning days that a light whack with a hammer would cure this problem. Sure enough, the mooring pin hammer was put into service, and the starter did its stuff. So - why does this work? And does it mean my starter motor is imminently doomed?

I find the Omnimax type aerial fine, as long as you use the RF amplifier that comes with it - agreed that on it's own it's cr*p. Also a retune at *every* change of location. For the very few locations where you can't get a usable TV signal, out comes the iPhone and HDMI adapter to watch Netflix./iPlayer etc.

If you Google the Huawei B525 images, you'll see it indeed has a telephone socket; sbainbridge is correct.

Yes we've seen Hector several times. The hirers on board always seem pleased with the boat.

Any good? https://armadaboathire.co.uk/boat-jack.html

The sockets are rated 2 Amps at 240 Volts; i.e. 480 Watts. Surely this means 40 Amps at 12 Volts?

OK thanks for that. I'm planning a two pipe system. Rather like series v parallel for batteries!

Just out of interest, and because I'm just about to plumb in my own radiators, shouldn't the radiators have one side to the feed and one side to the return?
