If you turn the red knob to flush some water through it may wash out whatever is holding it open.  On the other hand it may have failed and just needs replacing.

Thanks for that chewbacka I did what you said, opened the valve for a minute and lightly tapped the valve it seems to have sorted it.

Thanks for this forum and its members.

Sounds like the pressure release valve may be stuck open, assuming that is where it “overflows” from.

yes its coming through p.r.v. If I turn the red knob water flows freely, any ideas how to unstick

thanks lpp2

Good evening

for the last couple of hours my pump has been taking a while to shut off,now it seems to running all the time and I've just found my clorifier (think that's spelt wrong) overflowing, any idea to what's causing this. The clorifier is heated by a boatmans stove only.

[Bridgewater Canal]

Good evening all

Strange rumours on the Bridgewater, Limiting the use of your boat, only allowed to stay aboard 3 nights a week.

Rumours of a nazi warden being aggressive towards boaters' and boating clubs, issuing threats to ban boaters from the canal, be interested to hear from any boaters who have any experience of this.

[Shurflow water pump]

My water pump sounds like it has budgie inside it when it comes on, is it knackered, its a few years old so don't think a service kit would be available.

Thanks lpp2

[kestrel 90 Alternator Controler]

Good afternoon

I'm not sure if my Kestrel Alternator Controller is working, when I start the engine,in a matter of seconds a red light comes on, as i reduce revs,a short while afterwards the green light comes on, the switch is in the up position, all the time the engine is running at a reasonable rate both lights remain on, when i drop the revs for mooring up the green light goes off. If i flick the switch down both lights go out at any revs.

The controller is connected to one alternator which is connected to two 100aph leisure batteries. The engine is s JP2 which is a hand start version

I think the question I'm asking is how do i know when the batteries are fully charged, I don't have an ammeter fitted.

Thanks very much. Lpp2

[jp2 starting]

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend of mine,who's health is not what it was,

is it possible to have a electric starter fitted. He can manage the boat reasonably well but using the starting handle is a problem for him.

Thanks lpp2
