Cor blimey, next we'll be considering the difference between a buffalo and a bison!!

But I suspect just fitting a new one will eventually result in another failure, if your engine is mounted on flexible rubber feet. Prices in the link I gave... £400-£600 ish

Looks like a "Centaflex" coupling to me. Nosebleed money though! Several to chose from here: https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/search?query=centreflex

True. There are 1:10 tapers and there are 1:12 tapers. I generally see 1:10 tapers on narrowboat shafts. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a 1:12. Or is is 10:1 and 12:1 ?

What's worse is none of my fogstar batts came with them, and nor did I need them. My own guess is they now supply them in response to an avalanche of calls complaining from customers expecting fogstar batts to actually be 100% 'drop-in replacement', as advertised. i.e. the new M8 battery terminals didn't match the 'post' style terminals on the old batteries being replaced.

An interesting question. The article says "The original bridge was built in the 1860s and was converted into a sliding bridge in 1925. It is the only sliding drawbridge on the UK rail network", which rather implies it was a different sort of drawbridge originally. A conventional 'lifting' drawbridge perhaps?

Should I repack the stern gland of a newly purchased secondhand boat?

I prefer the Mark Twain one... "Never argue with a fool. Bystanders may not be able to tell the difference."
