URGENT Rayburn Nouvelle Boiler service chesier
bigcol replied to Little One's topic in General Boating
Hi there David from the side of cabin roof. It’s a power flue. and as Athy says, hardly any smoke at all, in fact shouldn’t be anything at all if running right. see pic, between 3rd and 2nd black light same colour as boat -
URGENT Rayburn Nouvelle Boiler service chesier
bigcol replied to Little One's topic in General Boating
We on our boat also have a rayburn xt, same as the 400 but with a power flue, and runs on kerosene. having a solid fuel royal on previous boat. very realisable, good engineers are rare tho, parts can be got from auction sites on internet. they are fairly simple to service, but new parts are expensive through aga rayburn.
