A Trad stern tug may well have vintage engine and be deep draught. We found we could not get through the last tunnel approaching Llangollen due to lack of depth (we draw 3 feet). Bear this restriction in mind when choosing a boat.

 

Hi iam on a 70ft 2ft 8 inch draught done the Llangollen last year did spend some time with the barge poll found it hard work but managed to get to Llangollen basen.

I have four 125 amp semi traction batteries plus starting battery a 1000 wts of solar on the roof just fitted them will see how they workl lfp is in my solar generator and 400 wts suite case for that but for the winter will charge it with a petrol generator takes one and a half hrs from empty to full I think it's a good set up for off grid .

I have As regards to to power banks solar generators many boaters have them now and the new ones have lfp batteries I use mine daily didn't even think whether it would invalidate my insurance.

Thanks for all the information guys iam not tha technical iam lucky a friend is on the YouTube blog I watch he set it so when his leisure battery dropped to a certain level that was set it automatically stopped heating the emerson so not to drain them will look into it more.

[Solar dump.]

Lol 11 but about the lfp battery it's a big problem all the electric cars use them and the new narrow boats dont know the answer. 

[Solar dump.]

I guess your talking about the lfp battery yes it will be a problem it's the way things are going though I try to be as green as I can .

[Solar dump.]

Thanks ditchcrawler at the moment I run the engine or run My generator also got a ecoflow power bank to run the emerson but using the ecoflow it takes a lot out of it will look at options thanks all.

Just find a video on it the canal boat well deck diaries they have fitted solar dump it's very interesting thanks guys 

[Solar dump.]

Thanks for your thoughts guys on the solar dump I will get an electrician to fit it

As I live off grid instead of running the engine for hot water was thinking about a solar dump has any one fitted one and are they useful.
