I think so too or I hallucinate them too. I'm convinced there was once a rule saying no fuses in with the batteries.

Or even their knowledge of the canal system at all. I find it quaint that so many posters here seem to think that CRT employees should all be knowledgeable boaters....

I think keeping every berth filled for £5k a year each is better use of the boatyard owner's time than selling cake or diesel.

Lots of the BSS is all about getting rid of miniscule risks.

I very much doubt that. If you flog s slice of cake for say, three quid, the most you can make from the sale is three quid. Less once you've paid for the flour and eggs and butter. Probably about the same as they make from selling 100 litres of fuel. I can see why people sometimes shell out several £m to buy a boatyard, with massive rip-off profits like that available...

Braunstone is about 30 miles away from Braunston, I once learned when I let a 10-year-old programme the satnav!!

What they are qualified to do and what they actually do, may not actually coincide. With me for example, I fault-trace broken boilers. I get a trickle of calls for emergency gas leak repairs from my GSR listing which I don't seem able to remove and I invariably turn them down. Similarly with requests to fit new boilers. Not what I do. Just because a business is listed as having "Boats" engineers on their books it doesn't mean the business actually does gas work in boats. They might be boiler-slingers with an engineer or two on their books with the "Boats" qual. Or BSS bods who got GSR so they could examine liveaboards to give another example. The OP might well get lucky though after calling a few of them.

I fear you are in 'gift horse' territory here. I was only finishing my five-yearly LPG renewal exams yesterday and discussing with the others on the course the difficulties in finding a training school which offers the "Boats" category. None of us had been able to find one at a sensible distance and cost so all of us had elected to let our 'Boats" category drop. "Boats" qualified LPG installers are getting rarer as its getting harder to stay qualified and its not nice work either, so if you've already found one willing to do the work I'd just get him booked up if I were you.

'Fraid not. That would run counter to the ethos of this forum. Threads here do not belong to the poster starting them, they are a community asset and as such cannot be closed (other than by a mod for rule infringement). On the upside you can wake up any thread you like just by adding a post, even if its a decade old!

Its like a swan hatch, only smaller. But assuming your question is serious after the previous thread roundly condemning the ghastly term, its the YouTube term for side hatches. Because you can feed the ducks (or swans) out of them.

Nothing off-the-shelf to buy that I can think of. Pretty much everything to do with side hatches is going to be bespoke. @Martin Kedian is the bod to talk to. He's a member here. https://www.kedianengineering.com/

I've never done Watford or Foxton, and you've just illustrated beautifully why!

Once AGMs get sulphated I think that's the end of them.

Which Porsche did you have in mind then? Answering my own post, probably a Taycan. They seem to be about the same size as a widebeam canal boat!

The tank will definitely heat up quicker if the rads are not heating at the same time. Turn them OFF!

How long is "too long"? Could it be that 'user expectations' have changed?

Not a steel boat I might guess. I can only imagine a fibreglass or wooden top burning that furiously. Curious that the article doesn't mention if anyone was injured or died. No mention at all of casualties, or not.

Been learning the ropes from George Ward it would appear. One wonders how many others in the making there are too. Strange how CRT will hassle the easy targets but allow harder cases like this to take the piss for years on end.

Been like that for well over a year.

It probably doesn't say that in the manual either.

The D61 is 9.4kW, having just checked. The thread title says "Webasto 90" so maybe 9kW too.

Pathetically, would be my prediction. The hot water output from a direct-acting boiler such as a Morco 61 is barely adequate. An indirect system on a plate HE such as you describe will be worse. It all hinges on the power output of the heat source. What is the power of your ThermoTop C? I bet it is less than a Morco.
