"reach out" - seek to establish communication with someone, with the aim of offering or obtaining assistance or cooperation I haven't had a response yet, and am just casting my net a bit wider in case anybody on here knows someone who can help.

OK, yes I've reached out to the boat yards. Thanks for your help.

The leak was definitely coming from the pump itself. It was sitting in a tray to catch potential leaks, and since the last time it was checked (roughly two months ago) the tray had filled up with water. So had kind of submerged the pump itself up to where the wires go in. So I suppose that might have damaged something at the other end of the wires? Anyway, yes you're right that is some crucial info that I missed out!

Yeah, just looking for someone who knows what they're doing really. The boat owners prefer it to be looked at with an experienced pair of eyes. There was some leakage caused by the previous pump, and a concern that the wires are water damaged.

Hey there, I've ordered a new water pump for the narrow boat I'm taking care of and am looking for someone who can install it for me. It will be a case of removing the existing (broken) pump, and swapping it with the new one. The model of the pump is a Shurflo Trial King 10, 30 PSI 12v – 10 LPM (Shurflo Trail King 10 Water Pump - Shurflo.eu) The boat is moored at Bossoms Boat Yard in Oxford Any recommendations or contacts most welcome

Thanks for this!

Thanks Tony that's very useful, I didn't know about the Gas Safe website so I'll have a look on there. And yes you're right, I didn't know there was a difference between a gas boiler and a gas instant water heater so thanks for pointing that out.

Ok. Do you know what model i have based on the photos? I'm struggling to find instructions for lighting it

I've no idea how to use this thing, it doesn't belong to me but the owner said the pilot light doesn't stay on. I might have to consult the manual a bit to get the basics down.

It's the pilot flame. It doesn't stay on apparently. I haven't properly investigated myself since I was planning to get a pro to look at it. Since that's quite difficult i will have a look myself so thanks for the manual. I will have to put this on hold until next week now though!

Right! Here are some pictures of the boiler. I'm trying to find some more information about it as i don't know how useful the images are. It's hard to get a good angle since it's crammed in a corner

It was the fuse! I panicked and didn't even think of that... Thank you! I think the fuse may have blown when my water ran out... When the water runs out, the water pump just keeps chugging away if the electricity is on. So it was doing that for a little while the other day before i realised what was going on. Maybe that caused the toilet fuse to blow? Or maybe totally unrelated.

Hello, thanks for everybody's help. I am still trying to tackle this issue but unfortunately juggling other things going wrong on the boat so am just tied up! I do appreciate the help, my next steps will be to id the boiler and check inside for dust balls.

Hello, my Jabsco marine toilet has stopped functioning and I'm looking for an engineer in the Oxford area. None of the buttons on the control panel work (flush, fill, empty etc). If anyone has the number of an emergency technician who could visit ASAP it would be greatly appreciated! It has a control panel like this: https://www.asap-supplies.com/products/jabsco-touch-operated-control-panel-for-deluxe-flush-toilets-jab-58029-1000?cid=16904326747&adgpid=&itemid=&targid=&mt=&loc=1006976&ntwk=x&dev=m&dmod=&adp=&gclid=CjwKCAjwkYGVBhArEiwA4sZLuJaY91jIBUYWGH7G_2LofodHjGaMtvix6g6iuhPMcTuRfmp_XFfEVhoCal8QAvD_BwE

Thank you that would be great! I'm not sure how old the boiler is but I can check when I get home and get back to you. Cheers, martin
