The problem has been coming on slowly for around a month or so. As for the watertight question i was refering to the joint in the pipework what lm asking is because this joint isn't leaking water could it be leaking air. Think I've put that right. lpp2
-
This might sound a daft question, just because a joint is water tight, that is no guarantee that it's also airtight, is that right, because if it is I'll replace the hose tomorrow. lpp2

Just followed the pipework from the strainer to the pump and found a length of around 6 inches long of what looks like blue drinking water pipe pushed into the black heater type hose and held by jubilee clips, could this be the cause regards lpp2
Yes tony its belt driven lpp2

It seems to be sealed if not the water would just run out and water is going through the system. lpp2
Drive seems ok on the impeller been no loss of flow of water which I would expect if the drive had packed up. lpp2

Good Evening
I'm sure this is a familiar topic to all of you judging the number of posts on the same subject! The story so far Engine send out steam from the exhaust after around 15 minutes, temp gauge at around halfway between blue and red if anything slightly more towards the red. Action taken so far tried 2 types of thermostat one with a slightly higher set point for engines that dont heat water for domestic use, ran with no thermostat, put thermostat back, changed the impeller on the jabsco pump, cleaned out the Bowman heat exchanger, found nothing radical inside it.. my cooling system is a raw water system, water is brought into the boat via a strainer through a bowman heat exchanger then shot out the back via the exhaust. The strainer is clear of any debris as is the intake. This is driving me nuts any help would be so gratefully received

Good Evening
Could any member tell me how I go about fitting this
At the moment I have to reach down in to the engine bay and turn a fair sized, don't know what to call it round disc/ cup, which is full of grease, which is both a mucky and difficult job.
Any help/advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks lpp2

Can anyone recommend a dab radio that uses a cigarette lighter type plug for power. Don't have or want an inverter but have a cigarette lighter type socket situated in a perfect place for a dab radio.

Yes I bought the boat because all the problems highlighted by the surveyor will be sorted before I take the boat away, most importantly not at my expense. I included an extra amount of money to be taken off the price to allow for the unforeseen, which I'm sure there will be. Once the work has been completed I'll have the surveyor back to give the work the o.k.. To my way of thinking I've used the surveyor as you should, If he'd said walk away I would have, but he did say if the work is completed as specified the boat will be what I wanted.

Good evening
after a very long night last night I think I've made some progress. I took the pipework apart where the water enters the boat and cleaned it, i then replaced all the pipework from the strainer to the jabsco pump, then replaced the belt driving the pump and tensioned it properly. Straight away when I started the engine it was obvious by looking at the strainer that the water was coming into the boat with much more vigour. I had a two hour cruise around lunchtime and im very happy with the result, but just bloody annoyed at myself for not checking the obvious first, thanks for everybodys help and comments.
