[Mooring Charges at Great Haywood marina]

This sure is a very dodgy way of running a business, but your friend must have been really desperate to buy another boat then the one he came for, or the one he bought was exactly what he wanted anyway. If not way did he buy there and than, while there are lots of narrowboats for sale all over the place, like at more serious brokers or even privatly there's lots of choice.

 

This yard is abusing the situation, and they seem to be far from client friendly and because of that they will surely lose potential future customers.

Hi there,

We had our boat fitted out at Great Haywood and moored in the Marina there until march this year, the mooring fees then were just short of £2400 for a 60' boat but a registration fee (non re-fundable I think?) of £200 was payable at the start, however, you get a free pull out of the water once a year, you can always move to Tatenhall for no extra charge. The guys(especially the maintenance guys) at the Marina are a great bunch. As far as I am aware the brokerage is run by Steven Goldsborough boats but I could be wrong. We only moved for a change of cruising area.

Follow the cables from the box with the illuminated switch. One set will go to the mains alternator, and the other set will probably go to a switch of some type, ie isolator/change over.which looks like its switched off.

Hi,

From what I have read I have exactly the same set up and I have a change over switch on the engine control panel, it has position I, off (switch in upright position) and position II, the switch has to be in position II

However, I am new to this forum and I have a problem regarding my own travel power in that neither the green or red light are on. I have flollowed the manual instructions without success, does anyone know who can repair the Travel power?
