Nothing to do with you and your agreement with CRT it is to do with your agreement with the marina.
Unfortunately he still thinks it isn’t.

No we're not.
Yes we are. Is this the five minute argument or the full half hour?

So - I can't now have a mooring , without a licence. These licence terms and conditions are very well hidden.
What license terms & conditions? We’re discussing your contractual obligations to the Marina.

Please have CRT make that a stipulation, the next time they update their own terms and conditions. They won't, they can't.
Whatever are you talking about now? We've been discussing your contractual obligations with the marina - that has nothing to do with CRT.
Just now, Higgs said:So basically - it has no purpose in the marina. That is what you're saying.
Of course it serves a purpose. You cannot have a mooring without one.

1 minute ago, Higgs said:
I do. Not to the licence agreement I have with CRT.
Unfortunately for your argument, the two cannot be separated.
Just now, Higgs said:You base that on a statutory requirement?
How many more times? It's a contractual requirement.

Just now, Higgs said:
This is your assessment of what a licence is? A tool to gain access to a marina?
In the circumstances described by you, yes, that's all it is. The marina contract states that you must have a license, therefore without one you cannot have a mooring in that marina. It's really very simple.

Make up your mind. Am I supposed to be buying a licence for the benefit of the marina, or, to give me entitlement to use the canal .
Neither. You are buying a license in order to comply with your contractual obligations with the marina. By happy coincidence that license will also permit you to use CRT's waters. Of course, you're under no obligation to do so but you can if you wish.

Just now, Higgs said:
That wouldn't solve the issue.
But it does. Because if you breach those terms (by not having a license) then you won't have a mooring.
There's no law that states I have to pay the farmer the rent for my business premises but if I didn't then I wouldn't have any business premises. It's a very simple contract, just like the one you have with the marina.

the terms and conditions of the marina...
... form a contract between you and them.

15 minutes ago, Higgs said:
what other requirement of a licence could justify its need?
Contract Law. He’s already said so.

Any herds of Wildebeast grazing nearby ? or do they want the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ?

Sounds like good advice.

I don't understand why a combi has a three way switch... <snip> This sounds like a DIY/bodged install by someone who did not fully understand the equipment...
Agreed. Hence my suggestion that OP seeks first hand advice.

would you think both are only connected one to each other?
Who knows? I think you need to employ the services of someone who understands boat electrics to at the very least advise, and possibly to do a little rewiring if required.

The 'ownership' of water is based on the rights to the land, over which the water sits.
I don’t believe that is correct. If CaRT drained the canal I think you’d find all the boats in the marina sitting on the mud.

https://airlinktransformers.com/product/enclosed-isolating-industrial-transformer-wm2257
Just been looking at the airlink site and think this may fit my requirements, possibly with a soft start fitted as others have suggested. I would appreciate any constructive comments/ observations. Thanks Mike.
Not waterproof, so it can't sit outside and it's metal, so the case must be earthed - a big problem in itself.

And so for the position of the MPPT, in parallel of the inverter (using the same battery fuse 4)?
The fuse is to protect the wiring and it is a dead cert that the inverter's fuse will be way too big to protect the cable coming from the MPPT, so that will require its own fuse. You can connect the MPPT cables directly to the batteries (via that fuse, but keep it outside of the battery box), or to the battery side of the isolation switch, or if it's more convenient, to the DC connections on the Combi. Electrically they're all the same, and any of them will comply with the BSS.
30 minutes ago, Pastis said:I read somewhere that a there should be somewhere a charge controller, wired to both the alternator and the inverter "battery terminals" ?
Certainly not a 'requirement', and they make the alternator work a lot harder than it's probably designed to do. Nevertheless it's an option. What alternator do you have?

Eventually the shoreline was also going to the inverter which has a charge mode (+inverter mode), so first question is : could we wire the generator to the AC input of the inverter to replace the shoreline charge system ?
Yes.
1 hour ago, Alan de Enfield said:Are you mistaking the "inverter input" for the battery charger input ?
I think you missed...
1 hour ago, Pastis said:Eventually the shoreline was also going to the inverter which has a charge mode (+inverter mode)
So it's a Combi.

Thanks, but I’m not sure what you mean. I was referring to the OP’s thermal store system. I wish to utilise something similar, but I may start another thread.
That would be your best bet rather than resurrecting a 2 year old one

Yeah and if you paint the bulkheads white and fit a composting bog with a purple exterior you will be top dollar
can sell it for a fortune in Lunnen.
Fixed that for you

Gorrila tape should guard on as spidees afterinspection do you think?
As long as it stays stuck. I've yet to see a spider prying it up...

Will I have to get it welded if its a hole?
Oh, if only anything in the BSS were so cut and dried... Certainly, welding it would be perfect. Putting a nut and bolt through it along with sealant would be satisfactory according to Rob at the BSS, but some examiners will argue the point. If it's above the height of the gas bottles and any other connections then it doesn't matter anyway, but again, some inspectors might argue the point.
5 minutes ago, Soozie said:So in terms of BSS. im not using gas, theres no gas appliances on the boat, the two fitter points on the gas pipes the previous owner installed have been capped, will it go through like this or do I need to do something else?
I see no reason why it shouldn't pass. It is effectively a gas-free boat.
It would still be a good idea to find something to plug that pipe, even if it's a wedge of wood, simply to prevent any spiders from setting up camp.
-
That looks like a through-bulkhead fitting sitting waiting for the gas locker piping to be installed to it. It doesn’t appear to be capped, no.
Is that a hole, top right? If so it’ll need attending to when you do plumb in the gas. -

We have about 700Ah and it charges in a day without too much fuss. The alternators can deliver over 100amp continuously (though a bit more would be good) and the Adverc keeps them going flat out right to the end of the bulk phase.
But the absorption phase will still take several hours. At 90% SoC 700Ah of batteries will only take around 70A, whatever boxes of tricks you might have. Then at 91% 63A, at 92% 56A etc.

Yes, but other folk have asked if they could. Anyway, your question was answered in the first couple of replies.
