    As locks leak to some extent, Id have thought that using one paddle rather than two would increase water use, if anything.

    I think the word "only" should have been "least".

    When I changed the seat hinges on our Jabsco macerator loo, I had to shift the whole unit out from the wall a bit to give visible access to the nuts underneath.

    Bit of double counting there! Burning palm oil is, at very best, carbon neutral, so net effect is negative, as the bit of rain forest that was felled is no longer absorbing CO2

    There are quite a few on the Trent and Mersey between Middlewich and Anderton. Most stay in marinas, thankfully!

    The usual fixing for a loo seat is wing nuts and washers to spread the load. I guess someone might have used a butterfly fixing if there was an access problem. The bolt part is often incorporated into the seat hinge, but may use either standard or square/oblong headed bolts. These days, the whole bolt and nut assembly is normally plastic, which gets rid of the rust problem.

    General Sedgwick?

    That's designed to get mail to the right postman, and help him put it into his/her bag in the right order. (Mainly the former)

    This I kind of agree with. CaRT do "unlicence" boats, but I struggle to see the legal basis for this. Also the requirement to "satisfy the Board" (i.e. CaRT) that there is a mooring available or that the boat will be used "bona fide" for navigation. If the boater hasn't moved for 10 years, it is difficult to see how this requirement can be met.

    I recall an engine, not sure if it was an Isuzu, where the cure for a similar problem was to drill a small hole in the thermostat. air gathered under it, and, with no giggle pin, stayed there, The thermostat didn't get hot enough to open, although the engine got hot enough to boil over.

    Doesn't always work

    Some Market Harborough boats have the same feature. Many years ago, (1991, when Anglo Welsh did a Market Harborough to Bath trip at a very reasonable hire cost) I was told that it was to strengthen the bow, which , on hire boats, tended to spread as a result of head on contact with top cills, gates, etc.

    To quote from the BSS Check list : (my bold) It would be perverse for a boat to fail a BSS examination because of extra safety equipment, and such a case would certainly be grounds for appeal.

    CO2 extinguishers are not counted for BSS purposes. No"A" rating. That said, I carry one for the extinguishing of engine fires. Powder does make a hell of a mess, and is also dangerous in confined spaces. All the ones that count towards the BSS requirements. The BSS do not forbid extra safety equipment.
