A couple of links you might find interesting-
So it appears that there is no problem with actual using Zinga from a potable perspective, in fact it looks like an ideal solution. The problem is down to one of health and safety within a very confined area. I think it would require as a minimum pressurised air masks and Google's and also quality all over clothing.
Personally I think I will skip it but I do think it could be a good proposition in general. Almost scope for a little cottage industry, but not for me.

I think I have identified the reason why.
Until it has cured it is hazardous this is reasonably easily be handled in the open with protective clothing and good quality masks and goggles. But inside an enclosed area it's possible that you could be working in a toxic and potentially inflammable environment.
Not an attractive proposition so I think I will revert to plan B when I come up with plan B.

I need to do my rusty water tank.
I have some Zinga left over from when I did my hull.
Zinga is certified as potable.
I have the correct Tercoo tool to prepare the surface.
So it would seem that I have everything I need to galvanize my water tank BUT I have failed, apart from a YBW 2008 short reference, to come up with anyone who has done this.
Basically am I missing something?
Has anyone done this on a narrow boat water tank?

EDIT Removed incorrect info.
According to THE site it is still age 60.
No idea what happened to the proposal to align it with state pension age other than this was met with a lot of opposition. Seems to of gone quite since March 2022 but no definitive statement that it has been dropped.
Suspect it is being kept in the governments back pocket so that it can be used as a bargaining tool in the future.

Sorry I only go as far as Tosh, not yet mastered complete B#%llks.
Nice to see the old sibling rivalry smoulders on, almost nostalgic

I'm sure, now that we have diverted to this side issue, that it would be more illegal to allow a stocked pond to dry out and thereby cause suffering to animals than it would be fill the pond. I don't know if this is true but I would suggest that the would be the legal interpretation. Fortunately I don't have a fish pond on my boat so it's academic to me.

So washing your boat with a hosepipe is out, but no restriction on filling the water tank.
Which is I would contend the correct and more accurate interpretation than the original post.

O.K
I have been informed that file is safe to view
Personally I will always be wary of public links to Microsoft one drive files and will treat them with caution.
It appears that this is Microsoft word document which is another favoured way of transmitting virus using Word macros.I
Now that the file has been verified I'm happy to welcome Dave Martin aboard.
I do think that David Macks suggestions of a PDF, HTML or long forum post are better options for the op to consider.

Sounds interesting but I don't blindly follow obscure links would it be possible to provide a more transparent link and a description of what I will be taken to?
Ma n y thanks

If you are a leisure boater and you fill your water pipe using a hose pipe, then that is considered as leisure use so that is not allowed in areas where there is a hosepipe ban in force
Occasionally on this forum I speak complete tosh, it's comforting to find that I'm not alone in this.

I actually think this would suit me battered and bruised, seen better days, rough around the edges and , if it doesn't get some tender care soon, might be on its way out.

It's one of my favourite. Especially out in the sticks, (where this fire took place).
Can accept that, maybe at a different time with different experiences I might of held a different view. I've had the opposite on returning to locations I've previously enjoyed only to be a bit disappointed.

The rear rails somewhat negate the effect of the cabinside tumblehome.
Sorry op can't help with your enquiry.
Home built boats like this though are still an achievement I know if I had built it I would of had a smile on my face when I launched it.

Never felt safe there, although did meet one of the permanent residents by the supermarket, very helpful and pleasant gentleman.

Not helped by current heat. Might be worth waiting for cooler weather to see if it is a real problem under normal conditions.

It's exactly the same diameter as the one I took off. 35mm.
Can I shim the back of the rudder stock between the bearing and stock?
Just to confirm mine was a 2005 liverpool shell and the replacement bearing was 35mm from Ebay. refitted 35mm bearing no problem.

It really doesn't matter. It's easy enough to miss nuances on the net.
I can't see how it can. There's no reason whatsoever for them to take any money this or next month. And the amounts are daft - it must cost them more in admin than they're taking.
Your probably right as the amounts don't seem to fit. I have checked back and the process I was thinking of is used by PayPal and is for 0.01p.

I have had a small number of incidents where a small transaction took place ahead of a scheduled transaction. It was explained to me that these were done to ensure that the main transaction would work when it was submitted, this normaly happens when either a new payment has been setup or payment details have been amended.
Whether this is happening in your case I've no idea as the incidents, which are few and far between, have only been for pennies. Never been out of pocket with them.
Be interested to know if this applies in you case.

Morning all,
So we finally got the keys and have taken ownership of zebec, we have found a great amount of items left over the years and found this.
Any idea what this could be?
Thanks for looking 🙂
It's a table?

Op needs to consider the fact that buying a used boat is in realty also buying a todo list.

Since that very hot two days Mon/Tue our gas regulator appears to have thrown a wobbler and I can smell gas in the locker. There’s hardly any gas getting through to the hob so we’ve switched everything off. One full tank and one in use..We intend arriving Banbury today so some recommendations please.
Had same thing recently, easy job to swap out the regulator. I took the opportunity to swap out an automatic switch over regulator to a manual switch over which I find to be better for me.
Last regulator and hose lasted 16 years which I hadn't realised until I read the new install instructions was way over the official date for replacement.
Symptoms were exactly the same as your experiencing.
Edit to add that full kit including hoses and fittings was circa £90 from Midland Chandlers. Similar kits available on Amazon for £84 +
Edit again to add
Just remembered that you will need some
Gas Thread Sealing PTFE Tape
which is the yellow stuff. Just a few pence
ZINGA For water tank. Anyone used it?

I don't recall saying i have failed?. I have not started yet i was just pondering on why no one seems to of done their tank with Zinga.
I still think its a good idea but would require some caution as regards health and safety, probably more than for the expoxy option.
