    They should tight enough to make sure that the shaft and inner bearing dont move relative to each other. Steve

    No, there are guys down in Bristol docks who have the relevant LPG and boat qualifications. But I'm guessing that Rich2019's boat isn't in Warmley even if he is. Steve

    The swan neck is usually welded onto the rudder shaft on Liverpool boats. Hence the need to get the rudder off and pull the shaft up out of tne bearing. Stefe

    Apparently the current 4 week run of TV adverts is costing £500k. Is that a good use of their funds? Steve

    We replaced the bearing on our Liverpool boat a couple of years ago. The new bearing isn't expensive, but you do have to get the boat out of the water as it entails getting the rudder off. We did ours on the slipway above Broadmoor lock on the Oxford. It should only take a couple of hours. As matty says make sure you regularly tighten the grub screws. Steve

    Having been caught out once at Gloucester when the lock wasn't ready even though I'd called ahead, I now have one of these on a short rope attached at the stern ready to drop over one of the ladders in the wall if I have to. Though having done it many times, the lockies are excellent, and 99% of the time the gates are open and waiting if you call ahead. Steve

    Gmail will often drop emails for no apparent reason. With gmail you get what you pay for ?

    Our Isuzu 38 is self priming. I ran out of fuel soon after buying the boat. All I did was put a jerry can full in the tank, turn ignition on, listen to the pump - the note changes when it's full. Turned the key and it started straight away. Steve

    Increase the vent as others have said, but you'll never completely get rid of the smell with a dump through. It may be expensive, but you're best bet is to fit a macerator. Steve

    No, no, no, no. We never watch anything live on commercial channels. We always record it so we can skip the ads.

    Mark Our Liverpool boat, built in 2004 has had Epimastic MT ( Spencer Coatings) from new. Unfortunately this is no longer available. Of course yours may not be the same, as I believe the original owner of our boat specified the two pack. Steve

    The one on the Avon causes no problem. If you get too close then there is a draw, but no worse than many weirs. Steve

    An old farmer friend used to sweep the farmhouse chimney thus : climb up onto the roof drop a rope down the chimney get someone to tie a large branch off of a holly tree on the bottom of the rope Pull the rope back up the chimney The holly branch cleans out all the soot etc. So perhaps you could use a smaller holly branch in tne squirrel Steve

    Can anyone recommend a BSS examiner covering the Cheshire area? We currently moor in Cropredy but will be moving to Oakwood marina near Northwich in early October. Our BSC expires mid November so I'll need to get it done soon after we arrive. Thanks Steve

    Surprisingly ours went at the top. It was fairly thin in several places, but the only actual hole was along one edge on the top. It's difficult to know how thick it was originally but I'd guess about 4mm. It was 14 years old. Steve

    No, we have a porta potty type cassette loo on board for emergencies.
