Welcome to the forum. You only see voltage to the fuel pump momentarily for each pulse of fuel. Chances are you might miss it with a multimeter. What is the actual voltage between 12V and ground at the Webasto when it is trying to start?

Welcome to the forum. There is a reason why you've had trouble finding a website on this. Renting canal boats for a long term lease is not something that many do while complying with the rules the navigation authority make. It's not like renting a flat, or house.The river through St Neots is under Environment Agency control for navigation and they will have their own rules, likely different from the Canal River Trust ones I'm familiar with. Escape the Rat Race may be able to help. https://www.etrr.co.uk/ Beware of private, under the radar hires. Your legal protections in such arrangements are zero. Rivers can go in to flood and can be dangerous places to be if you are not on a mooring able to cope with flooding when it happens.

The most recent Victron blue boxes have a random Bluetooth PIN assigned, rather than the 000000 default they used to have our of the box. The number is on a label. You can still change it to what you want.

Once the bottom clips are rotated out of the way, you can pull the glass out from under the top clips. Thanks for reminding me. It's been a while since I last did mine. Putting the glass back in, you push it under the top clips (carefully), then rotate the bottom clips back on to the glass.

I've typically got around 5 years out of one for one person. Compare well with an automatic. You need to supply the hot water for these yourself. How is hot water made on your boat?

@BEngo has already alluded to this. Between the screws and the door glass are some spring steel clips. Rather than try and undo the bolts, rotate the spring clips off and back on to the glass with a pair of pliers. As the stove gets older, the screws are more likely to break if you attempt to undo them. If you do break a screw, then the cast iron used by Morso is very easy to drill and tap for a new screw alongside.

For boats, the remaining moisture content is important as this determines how long it takes to dry on board, when you can't line dry outside. Lots of dampness in the air and condensation on the windows. Vertical axis twin tub washing machines and portable spin driers are much better at spinning out excess water than automatic horizontal drum machines. Example. Heated dryers are impractical on boats unless on a shore line. As you are thinking of replacing an existing automatic machine, your boat should have the required electrical supply, but check the size of the inverter. Some washing machines have trouble working off inverters and the existing one should already be proven to work with the inverter on board. Check that this is actually the case though, if the boat is usually on a shore line. Your own washing machine is an unknown with working on the inverter until you try it, so you could go from a working set up to a not working set up by swapping them out. It's been known for the same model inverter and same model washer to work on one boat and not another.

The most likely source will be the boat builder's manual for the engine, rather than the owner's manual. Barrus can provide pdf copies for older engines. Their current range can be downloaded from the web site. Give them the engine serial number and see what they come up with. They recently helped me with a set of manuals for a Shire 800 from twenty years ago. Builder's manual, owner's manual and parts list.

Tenbury's not a big place. It will be well known who the tractor driver is by now. He won't be able to show his face for a long time, regardless of the legal repercussions.

Is the third storm from now going to be storm Ernie? What muppets come up with these names? Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3178421

I suppose it could be called the Canal Sixteenth, rather than the Canal Quarter with what's left.

Welcome to the forum, There are no guarantees in life. From what I've seen, you can keep on boating as long as you are in reasonable health. Single handing is more strenuous than with two. One to steer the boat, the other to handle the locks. At some point, if we don't die first, some medical issues, or general decrepitude will stop us boating. When that is is down to genetics, lifestyle and luck. Only one of those can you do anything about and the whole package can vary enormously from person to person.

On the plus side, the diesel would make an excellent cutting lubricant and help direct any swarf outside the tank, along with the fuel. 😃

When on the water you should never create a breaking wave. Tenbury Wells High St during the floods this weekend. Slow down when passing moored buildings.
