  1. Thanks Dave i am not going to rush into anything , will try and get a tow to the mooring then see if i can fix her over winter I did some googling and found the repair manuel ( wasnt sure until you confirmed the model ) http://www.freedomyachts.org/downloa...e890ce418c7d5a
  2. Thank you for the help I could not see a small brass plate. It had a red one saying 'AFT ONLY 20 NM 5 lbft And a small silver plate saying Model No ZF 10 M A = 1.79 Serial No 39634 N 1.86 PIN 3304002004 It looks cable and not hydraulic
  3. I will need to look tomorrow to see what gearbox it has. As you may be able to tell me and mechanics usually do not mix , but am trying to learn as its been one thing after another all year with her. :0

    Lister ST2

    Sorry i meant ST2, doh Yesterday while crusing the engine suddenly lost power in forward gear, it is still working in reverse but prop not going around in forward? I checked nothing caught up in the prop. We had just got her back from the marina who fitted a new lift pump and were on our way to winter mooring. We are nearer to it now than the marina so am hoping it may be something a non expert could fix ( like myself ) ?
  5. Radiomariner its very good to hear you still have your equipment bag.Unfortunately I experienced the Springfield bike trick when we were moored at horse shoe bridge a few yeas ago, put my shopping down to pull the boat in and a young guy on a bike snatched a bag, nothing of much value but very inconvenient. One great thing about Tottenham is it is a very good boating community, everyone looks out for each other. A few of us take it in turns to patrol the towpath especially in winter nights, not much is going to go unnoticed or unchallenged around here so I do still feel comfortable being moored here.
  6. Oh no its really getting out of hand . It also appears to be more than just the polish gang who are very opportunist and sloppy leaving doors off ect, some this week have appeared far more planed.
  7. Unfortunately it will take much more than common sense for boats to be safe on the towpath at Tottenham at the moment. So far there has been two attempts to squat on boats , 8 boats i know of have been burgled, 6 with live aboard boaters, and a van in the car park . The gang is hanging around the towpath for hours a day taking whatever opportunity they can. I have seen them going along the towpath at all times of day and night casing the boats, they are known to kick the boat to see if it is occupied ( so don't assume it is the wind). Last weekend two broke into a boat at Springfield and one was caught trying to dismantle the boiler but it does not seem to have stopped them 2 days later the rest of the gang returned. The police i would not say have been brilliant,for the amount of trouble i would have expected to see more patrols along the towpath. They have not even bothered to re contact a witness (who removed them from our boat) for an ID parade they were supposed to be setting up, hardly surprising some boaters are now tooling up!
  8. Thank you :)

    I would love to see one on the river but have not been that lucky yet.

  9. Great idea, I am not a trader yet but really hope to be one day if we ever get the workboat finished so have bookmarked it, thank you for the link
  10. Hi Paul , thanks for explaining and the links I am more of a Sweatysocks than Toddlesocks justnow with all the mooring stress :0. I would not risk bidding on two actions at the one time, unfortunately their is only one mooring suitable which i have not bid on yet as others already have, it is now over our max . I did not realise if the winner defaults it can then go to the next highest bidder over reserve price, so still worth making your best offer known.
  11. May be a daft question Is it advisable to ignore what an auction is currently going for even if it is over your budget and just bid when ready in the hopes higher bids drop out ?
  12. We were very interested in this but it has shot up surprisingly high again already compared to others in the area, still a week to go ?
  13. The guy moored opposite built a little snowman out on the ice, maybe a snow duck might have been more fitting as i could not help think he was quackers even although its not that deep where he is.
  14. "Chess board/card table and board games" That sold it to me
