Forgot to mention, that after you have swept the chimney, you can put a vacumn hose down the flue pipe and suck out the crud on top of the boiler tank without twisting your arms!

I put a piece of card board angled down from the back/top of the morso angled toward the front, when you sweep the chimney, all the crud falls into the fire not behind the boiler.

Thanks for your help folks, will keep me busy for the weekend!

I've started to strip down my Morso Squirrel as its in need of a repaint and at some point the inside of the stove has gathered water so its quite rusty so hoping to clean that up. I've removed the top of the stove, and in doing so, 3 of the bolts have sheered off, got one of those out with mole grips but the other two are almost flush with the hole. Any suggestions to remove ? The bolts are really stuck !

Bro. Sounds to me like your Isuzu engine alternators have been connected to the wrong battery banks! This may be an issue, as the pulley dimensions on each alternator are different, you may find the 70A one is spinning more slowly than the 90A one. I've got the same engine, although at that time, they fitted dual 70A alts. If you look down at the engine from the top (plan view), with the alt. belts at the top of the picture, the domestic alternator is normally on the left, battery alt on the right ?

Ah, at last a rival to my site! www.waterexplorer.co.uk

Think it also depends if you are following CE marking of your fit out - if you are then a lot more of the BS/EU standards come into force.

I've been using the vetus gland for 8 years now, never dripped once, and I've not replaced any seals.

Interesting twist on the legal perspective of "hiring" if you go through ETRR. Looks like the "renter" buys a share of your boat so you become joint owners - the renter is then not renting it from you, they own it (minor share), and then give the share back to you at the end of the "rental" period. Wonder what the insurance company and BW licence make of that then!

Hi all, I know this boat well, the OP has had the bottom of the boat replaced, not over-plated. Effecitvely everything below the gunnel in the picture in the advert is new, only the cabin sites and roof are original - and even they were changed and parts replaced - the front hatch door for instance. The cruiser stern was rebuilt from scratch, new engine bearers and swim plates etc. I agree the original wording may need improving as it could be ambiguious/unclear, just trying to help clarify ! The original boat was built by "ARCRITE" - Length 10.98 metres (36 feet ) - Beam 2.08 metres (6 feet 10 inches ) Metal hull, power of 15BHP. Registered with British Waterways number 69628. Although no date is recorded or known, probably late 1980's...

Theres always a PM you know! Yes there are showers there (good condition as well) along with elsan, toilets and pump out.

Black Country museum has toilets, elsan, pump out and showers

Hi, Back in 2008 I wrote a how to guide for this forum - its easy to add the wire on to a standard A127 alternator... http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=13283&st=0&p=207003&hl=+sterling%20+pdar&fromsearch=1entry207003

Sanyo are generally considered the Rolls Royce in solar panels.

No reason why you can't get a small lockable safe fitted onto a boat to put any valuables into, just to be on the "safe" side :-)

With the launch of Canal & River Trust, I've noticed that the internet domain names: canalandrivertrust.co.uk canalandrivertrust.org.uk Have been purchased by British Waterways, but www.canalandrivertrust.org Has been purchased by Thomas Crossley (editor@narrowboatworld.com) Someone looking to profit from the new trust name change ???

The Google Earth links have been retired, they were used by only a handful of people compared to the online maps, and I don't have enough spare time to keep everything in sync and support multiple applications accessing the map data. Sorry about this! Stu.

and mysite... www.waterexplorer.co.uk Look for the interactive maps...

Sounds like a bluetooth problem to me, does it do this when you play back a recording?
