I cruised past them at their mooring on Sunday, no sign of any movement or change but saw a photo of Wye being craned yesterday at Burscough Silcox’s yard, just through the main A59 road bridge.

I've moved to a new location in the boat. More than likely, you’re now moored hard upto jetty / banking and blocking exhaust exit!🙄

I May have to bite the bullet and pay the money, at least it should be a direct fit & look right! 👍

Anything would do TBH, just a heat source for cold winter days.

I have a traditional boatman’s cabin with no Epping stove fitted ( been removed, flue hole in roof / fixtures all ok) Any suggestions for a replacement stove to fit in the space, prefer a cooker style but any will do. thanks

Pour it down the local CRT elsan ...Hopefully it'll lubricate & shift the composting bog contents blocking it!

I bought one as a spare to keep in the cupboard for my Thermo-top setup which I hadn't used and then bought another to fix a job on a pals unit which had a faulty pump. Upon trying the 1st Chinese one on his kit, it fired pretty much straight away but put no heat out, as if it was only running on 'tickover', tried my spare which gave same symptoms. Tried them both on my 'known' working setup, same again, running but not enough to give out any heat.! Ended up buying a used genuine Webasto one off ebay to fix his fault, worked as should straight away I presume they don't deliver enough fuel per pump to get the unit firing on full pelt but haven't / cant be arsed getting all technical and measuring their output against a genuine one. Good luck!

Did you use one of the cheapo Chinese 2-5kw fuel pumps off Ebay priced between £9 to around £30 to fix your prior issues? The cheapo's don't supply the required fuel to run a Webasto Thermo-top at any sort of power / heat output, just enough to get it to start up and tick over!!

Theres ‘actual help & advice’ available to you over on the ‘other side’ without all the general waffle available here! ? ? http://thunderboat.boards.net/thread/5627/perkins-l4-query-on-

There's permanent moorings advertised right outside the Titanic Hotel and they are filling up just past the old Tobacco Warehouse, I presume the Titanic will have details, cant remember if there was a contact details board up when I went past in October!

Again....There is only 1 type of Thermotop C...its a water heating boiler! Your post 11 clearly shows you dont know what you're on about... To quote Tom Jones...'its not unusual!' So again....Its really not that difficult! ?

It clearly states a ' Webasto Thermo top C' in the title which is a water heater, not a Webasto air top which is a warm air heater.. Its really not that difficult!

'Should boats not displaying a current licence be named and shamed?' Where has the OP implied that boat is unlicensed?

Su's known in both The Farmers & The Slipway pub, where she moors between as being ' not the brightest' when it comes to living on a boat! ? This thread proves that!

Came across thes whist browsing anold mag..

And again tonight.. Road blocked / cars forced to turn around due to barriers in down position!

Work going on ground around the control room today, barriers erected etc, just possibly a larger feed being run? Couldnt stop to enquire as I drove by, had traffic behind.

Heres a few pics from a boat just down the Jetty from you Peter, RH 2YDA.

I went to the Hallmark disposal auctions when they went bust at thier workshops in Deeside about 15 years ago.... it was reminiscent of a 'MFI reject / returns' warehouse, they barely gave the stuff away and rightly so, they were sh**e with a capital S!

I was talking about real, commercial boating folk from the 1800's not folk playing at it recently!

Sounds like a normal working day in 'times gone by' for the traditional carrying boatmen & their families. I'm all for keeping the early boating traditions alive, collarless shirts & waistcoats, ribboned plates, scumbling, chimney chains and fighting on the towpath at mooring up times!!

He pulled in St Mary's on the Rufford branch yesterday for diesel, seemed 'all a little too much' mooring at the diesel point. He tried backing in at hi revs and resulted it another crash into the bank! Dont think he had an overly successful trip overall!
