  7. Not sure, when I was held up a couple of years ago I assumed that a high river would spill over the bottom gates when the top gates are open Yes - the new pumps at St Germans can shift 100 tonnes of water per second, that's a lot of pump power. m@
  8. Stanground lock becomes unusable if the river Nene is above a certain level, this will usually coincide with strong stream advice on the Nene. Pumping in the middle level (After prolonged heavy rain) can cause strong flows through March and a "slope" on the level which makes the short stretch from Pophams Eau to Marmont Priory lock quite shallow. Neither of these effects prevent navigation, they just make it more interesting! m@
  9. Stanground belongs to the Middle Level Commissioners so has nothing to do with EA licences. From talking to some "regular offenders": The first time they check you, they will either sell you a day licence straight away (Slip-launced boats, etc) or give you 2 weeks grace to get a longer term licence. (Larger boats) There is a patrol boat, it is shared with several other rivers so may not be on the Nene at any particular time. m@

  16. Defiantly, IMHO the hull is the main part of your investment, followed by the engine, most other problems can be solved with a bit of know-how and elbow grease. The age of the boat is no indicator of the speed of corrosion. Welcome to the forum m@ PS - The reason you did not get any replies is that you are in an old thread so not many people looking at it :-)
  17. Never used one but ASAP Supplies do one that needs no power. m@
