  1. Hello Just to let you know the boat from the Upper strake down to the water line on the starboard and aft is now painted wholst in the water and the boat did not nedd tipping on its side as suggested!!!!!!!. SmL paints were very helpful and it is painted in 2 pack epoxy black gloss, maintaining the two pack Jotun that was already on there .
  2. I want to paint the strake which is above the waterline and slightly below the strake which is also above the waterline! Sorry that was repeated. Not quite got the hang of this forum. I am a static liveaboard and as I have painted all my side panels and gunnels just want it to look neat and tidy black from waterline to strake. It has gone grayish so thanks for that tip. I am likely to sell her before she is due out of the water. Thanks all

  4. Hello I have recently painted the side of my widebeam whilst in the water and want to paint the black strake and slightly below to the waterline to make it all look neater. I know from the boat's builders manual this was originally painted with Jotun 2 pack epoxy black and wish to use the same. However when I search for this online there is an array of Jotun paints and unsure which is the correct one. Can anyone send me a link. Thanks
  5. @Peanut Thanks for that. Did your friend's have to raise the toilet on a plinth, was it a Thetford, and my shower pump is under the relevant wardrobe plinth, did they have that issue and have to relocate it. Also I am new to this forum. How do you just reply without quoting?
  6. Help required. I have Webasto central heating on my wide beam which I know works. Originally it had a small webasto controller which the previous owner had issues with so bypassed it with a Heatmeiser thermostatic touch screen controller. I used this a couple of times hence I know the Webasto works but the touch screen has "had it" hence it was almost impossible to switch off and then eventually on. I just need a 12v controller, heating on heating off, NOT THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED, not even timed that will switch the Webasto (20amp fuse) on and off at my will without paying a ridiculous £80 plus for a Webasto one. Any suggestions please.
  7. @booke23 @mrsmelly @The Happy Nomad Hello all. Just a thought but may be daft. The existing toilet is I believe a vetus(not on the boat at the moment) with electric flush and takes water from the tank. Is there anyway you could just reroute the waste pipe that goes into the holding tank to a Thetford cassette that is in the wardrobe without changing to a Thetford toilet. Have a shut valve or something on it.
  8. @booke23 thanks for all your sensible advice. My boyfriend is going to fit it but he hasn't seen all the gubbins behind the toilet yet. Cutting the plinth and adding door isn't a problem for him or my carpenter son. I will go and check the cassette measurements against taking it out of the wardrobe door and space between the bed. Would be useful if the Thetford site gave all measurements but they seem geared to caravans as do their dealers I have spoken to. Thanks again Bathroom is enclosed and toilet side backs against bedroom wardrobes
  9. Thanks for the picture and advice. First time on here so not got the hang of how I reply without using quote. Yes I would be accessing through the wardrobe door. I can't take the wardrobe plinth out which would be useful as the shower pump is under there. I think even taking the bit below the access door out so the cassette came straight out onto the wardrobe plinth is actually about 13cm less the 3-4 cm the cassette is off toilet floor. See my pics. Even then there is slight the water supply and electric gubbins there that I may not get a smooth run out of the cassette even with raising the loo. Can you give me the c263 cassette measurements send thanks again. @mrsmelly I agree cassette option is best though problematic
  10. Thanks for that. Think I will have to use a plinth
  11. Hello I live on a 57ft Collingwood and want to switch from pump out to cassette toilet. In the absence of my research finding any such toilet that I can use electric flush and existing water and having a front cassette my only option seems to be the Thetford C263 unless someone can advise otherwise. No room for side cassette toilets. Question that Thetford don't seem to supply...does the rear cassette come out flush with the floor/bottom of the toilet. This would not be an option due to the wardrobe plinth behind. Can anyone who has this model advise the height of cassette off the floor and dimensions of the cassette and whether the toilet could be raised to accommodate. This is my first post, but don't want any going off at tangents as to why I wish to change and don't want composting toilet. Sensible advice much appreciated.
