Thanks for the comments and advice everyone, following further searches for convertible units as suggested I've narrowed it down to 3 options, so its just a case now of getting approval from "senior management" Many thanks again.

I'm having the kitchen refitted on our boat and have been asked to choose an LPG built in oven/grill. Our fitter says we could choose a normal domestic model if preferred but having done an online search LPG items seem to be rarer than hens teeth! Can anyone advise on where I can find an LPG built in oven/grill other than the few options I found at Midland Chandlers? Thanks.

Not seen anything specific in the inspection check list but I note from a recent you tuber who failed the inspection due to insecure LPG cylinders? Thanks for the info. The locker size will dictate no need for extra securing.

I'm preparing for my BSS inspection. I have a single 6kg LPG cylinder contained within its own dedicated locker at the rear of the boat. There is nothing else in the locker except the cylinder spanner and it is impossible for the cylinder to fall over as the locker is only just wide enough to fit it in. Does the cylinder have to be secured with a chain to comply with the test requirements?

Marine diesel fuel complete

Thanks for the reply Tony, how is the fuel tank drained ? not sure how the bug has got in as I add Marine 16 everytime I fuel up?

While doing a service on my Beta 43 engine I drained the agglomerator. On opening the drain screw black fuel came out for around a minute, but the fuel in the fuel filter was clean. Not sure what this means, is it normal as in the agglomerator doing its job or is there a bigger issue I need to address?

The mini labels on my distribution board are worn to the point of illegibility. Is there anywhere I could either get them made bespoke or alternatively hire a labelling machine, they are expensive to buy for just a single task?

A 4 burner worktop hob please.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a quality 4 burner lpg cooker hob for a canal boat. We would like to replace the existing old cooker but want a quality unit rather than the flimsey looking (Thetford) items which seem to be common in many Chandleries.

Great, thanks folks that's cleared it up nicely. Canal boat internet here I come!!

So if I bought a Smarty sim card say 15gb, does that mean I can use it until it runs out before I pay to buy another one?

Thats all great info folks which will be invaluable in choosing the right provider but it still leaves me with the same question. Can I avoid paying a monthly fee for the card when we will not be using it every month, only when we are on board?

Thanks everyone for the advice and guidance I've now got an antenna and router, just need a suitable data sim. Apologies for asking what maybe a rather "duck egg" question, but all the data only plans I've found seem to come with a monthly fee. As novice leisure cruisers we won't be on the boat all the time so it would be a waste to pay monthly, are there sims you can buy for a set price and then just use until the data runs out?
