  1. If you need to charge your batteries up with your engine, why not just move. That's what you engine is for!!! Andrew
  2. Going, don't know which boat yet? Andrew
  3. There's a book called the "Other 60 mile", well worth getting. Andrew
  4. Yes, I was stood on Dove as you passed, found it quite funny.
  5. Kate boats at Stockton makes Fradley junction look empty! Andrew

  10. Thank you for this LMAO Put a bottle in a bowl of water, let it fill with water, stand the bottle up side down keeping the kneck under water then try and lift the bottle up. That's how I thought of it. The Sea Otter has a vent at the top of the hollow stem bar conected to the tank, when launching and recovering this should be opened.

  11. Just done Liverpool, Brilliant. Stopped at:- Dunaham Massey, Plank Lane (Bridge closed at peak times 8:00am to 9:30am and 4:30pm to 6:00pm), Parbold then Melling. Next day straight to Salthouse dock. Andrew
  12. What's complicated about a Parsons box or a PRM500 come to that. Parsons, ain't lifted the lid in two years, PRM 10 years. Had nearly 40 years (on and off) of fixing Hydraulic systems, don't want any more. All depends what you want your boat to do. Mine need to go forwards and stop, it's not a car ferry that self docks. A mechanical system will nearly allways get you home. Andrew
  13. Our boats have a very effitient and maintenance free system. A lump of 2 inch dia. bar from the gear box to the prop. No fluid, no heat generated, no valves, no pumps, no motors. Keep it simple!
  14. Here you are Tiggy, just few pics but not in any order Andrew
  15. Mike, as you know we have the same, Regentex and it is water proof. In the heaviest rain, it's still bone dry under cloth.
  16. According to people there, They are draining the pound betwwen Shadhouse and Woodend, they have been told to untie their boats at 7 am. Andrew
  17. We have a coal fired Esse Doric in Achilles. In winter it is brilliant, doing the cooking, heating, hot water. In summer forget it! Camping stove comes out to play. Andrew

    Armstrong pistons

  19. We don't have a weed hatch! I bet Richard knows where this is. Andrew
  20. Have you tried this http://usa.autodesk.com/autocad/trial/ When at Sea Otter there was a chap called Andrew Linall, he had some very expensive software for sea going craft. Don't know if he's still about. Andrew
