    Try 'Sequence' its both a card game and a board game, two, three, four, six, or nine players can play.
  3. Try Spencer Collins at The Boatyard Hilperton on 07790017418 or 01225959009
  4. Calorifier is made from copper and the flange on top is brass so no rusting, the rust will be the red cover over the electrics on top of the immersion heater so you must have water getting to it from some were. All the white stuff on top looks like lime scale, so again water problems. If the calorifier need to be replaced the cold feed to it could be caped off , leaving you with cold water only, until a new one is fitted.
  5. You could try phoning The New & Used Boat Co [ Aqualine] and ask them how its been fitted.
  6. Sloe Gin recipe. 2-3 pounds of sloes 4-6 ounces of sugar 1ltr cheap gin Wash and destalk sloes then place in freezer for a week or so, if you don’t have a freezer then you are supposed to prick several times all of the sloes, very tedious. Place the sloes, sugar and gin in large Kilner jar seal lid and give it a good shaking, the shake every day for a couple of weeks or until sugar has dissolved. Place somewhere cool and out of the way for 3 months or so, longer if you can, then taste adding some more sugar if you think it needs it. Very pleasant to drink on a cold winters evening, or any time.

  7. But if you do that it must create condensation inside the boat will it not?
  8. I think this, in red, means that there is no water in the filler pipe and not the pipe work after the pump. hope that makes sense.
  9. I have a 240v pull cord light switch for my gulper shower pump and its been working for the last 15years or so, that's the switch not the pump, touching wood with crossed fingers.
  10. Just to make it clear, my bow thruster batteries are in a bow locker, 2x110amh, that are charged via the engine that has an 80amp alternator with a slit charge relay that also charges the engine start battery, plus I do have an old 20amp charger fitted that runs of off 240v. I was just asking the preferred batteries to use. Thanks for all the replies.
  11. What batteries would you fit for an electric bow thruster? I would presume starter batteries and not leisure ones.
  12. Had boat in dry dock 6th August to 12th August just gone, so I could re-black the hull with another two coats of two pack, Hempadur. Last had the boat out in 2014 for blacking. The only problem found this time was flaking on the rubbing band, but that was no surprise. The original anodes that came when the boat was new 2006, where take off and replaced with the new ones, although the ones i had welded on in 2014 still had quite a bit of meat on them. So, two pack works. Sorry no pictures as I forgot to take any.
  13. Maybe its the thermostat playing up.
