Hi
New to forum and have spent a few days checking topics for electrics, hot water, heating etc. I have a lot of questions as I am fitting out a narrow boat my self, but will tackle them one at a time. I have a few opinions on some of the topics I have checked but will check my facts before replying but will if I can help.
Back to my first question: - I have a forward water tank but I am going for the reverse layout and would like to put the water pump either in the engine compartment or under the sink at the rear. I intend to put a drain valve for the system in the engine compartment (down to bilge to be pumped out) for winter freezing. The idea is to get a sleep in without the wife doing the dishes and waking me up with the pump (if only). I intend to fit an accumulator but would like to know if I will have a suction problem due to pressure drop as it will be a 45 foot run of suction pipe? I can run it below floor in 42mm if necessary and would appreciate any comments or problems experienced by others.
Thanks
Shaun
