  1. Cleared the cache and all fine again. Thanks
  2. I got that same screen (chrome browser) a couple of days ago and have had to turn adblocker off. Never seen it before though, has something changed?
  3. If it does and please check as it could be expensive later Talk to the equipment suppliers and ask them to supply at zero rate VAT quoting HMRC 744C. They will usually then require a declaration from yourself for evidence that it does indeed comply (qualifying weight from the HMRC calculation NOTE deck height is for the side deck ie gunnel and the top deck cannot be used) and an indemnifying rider that should HMRC decide that zero VAT does not apply you will pay the VAT such that the supplier is not liable
  4. I have used a laptop to set up my 2 tracers. You need to get the right comms protocol and baud rate selected correctly for it to work. There is an excellent you tube video here that helped me. The software can also be used as a real time monitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3LrWeYYtnQ
  5. If your pulling 60A from a 3x 110AH (at C20) battery bank thats 20A per battery so much closer to C3 or C5 discharge rates so capacity will not be 150AH.
  6. Hi We are moored opposite on JoNi. I have some paraffin on board if you want to try cleaning the filter
  7. I fitted Unisolars and Lensun flexis last year. Instead of gluing the whole lot down, I got some motorway grade magnetic adhesive sheets, which I stuck to the underside (this also adds a bit of padding for walking on). The magnetic sheets hold the panels in position. I then used outdoor silicon to seal the edges, which can be easily cut and removed if a panel fails/ I want to paint the deck. I have no need to walk on them regularly. If I did I would trust the Unisolars over the Lensuns.
  8. The filter element is what you have now ie the discs. Before you order you need to check the size as both the elements and cans are in two different sizes
  9. I used my filter discs first then went for the cans. If you have the discs no point wasting them
  10. yes and you just pull one can out and drop the next one in. You don't have to scoop out handfulls of smelly carbon dust
  11. Scroll down the page I linked
  12. you're welcome. The no smell cans I refereed to are available here (cheapest I can find them) https://www.abcstore.co.uk/Replacement-elements-for-no-smell-filters__p-617.aspx
  13. OK here's my experience. It will smell when you open the lid. What I do is wear a dust mask impregnated with obus oil or vicks vapour rub. The lid may well be stuck firmly on after two years. A large oil filter remover like a boa should release it. After two years the filters will in all probability have disintegrated, so you will not be pulling out individual discs but broken up carbon dust (put it straight into a sealable bag (It will stinK) Get all the old filter material out and the new disks will push in. They do need to be pushed firmly down to get them to fit, Grease the lid seal with vasaline so next time the lid is easier to remove. Finally, you can buy no smell filter cans now which are much easier to replace than the disks ( same thing really but in a plastic container and has silica gel in it to absorb moisture.) Its not difficult but it is a smelly job without the face mask and something on it to mask the smell Good luck ( I hate the job and always do it when my better half and dog are off the boat)
  14. Do you mean the no smell filter with carbony mesh type disks with a hole in them?
