An easy way to bleed the system is to fit one of these http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=bleed+t...r&_osacat=0 to the highest point.
I had one on my Caterham 7, works a treat.

Thanks Boatbodger, appreciated .
Typical, I found our leaflet a couple of hours ago & have ordered a carpet.
-
Perhaps if the houses are leasehold the owners may know the landlords details.
Or you could try land registry.... perhaps for a small fee.
Good luck
Mark.

Carpets !
We had a leaflet from the boat show which we have lost. The Company was selling long 'narrow' washable rugs & were I think made in Greece. I think the company was based down south ( London ? ).
Any info appreciated as I may get the wife one for Christmas !!!
Cheers,
Mark.

Just bought a mini dish & receiver in a suitcase from NETTO in Sheffield for £79.95p.
It worked 1st time when I tried it, very pleased.

I know of a 2 year old boat that cost £57K new in 2007 recently sell for less than £40K.
Seems if someone needs to sell then the price will be negotiable . A 2 year boat, look at asking price & knock £10K off.

Yesterday I was in the queue at our local Netto in Sheffield when I noticed high up on a top shelf the mini satellite system ( in a suitcase ) . I'm sure its the same as Maplin's but was reduced to £79.95.
Not tried it on the boat yet but works fine pointing out of the bedroom window !

Hi,
I have just replaced the glass in my Channel Glaze window. ( Air gun shot through lower glass ) They were very helpful on the phone & brought me a replacement glass to the recent IWA show near Nottingham.
It was a real nightmare removing the frame without damaging it, & then a pain dismantling it to fit the new single glazed glass. Probably the worst job I have ever undertaken !!
I have refitted the frame today.
The problem seems to be that the window was 'bonded ' in place & not meant to be removed.
There is a company Worcester Marine Windows - 01905358800 - that allows you to change the glass without removing the frame ... sounds good to me .
Good luck

My home broadband package is coming up for renewal and I'm contemplating switching to Virgin cable broadband.
The package includes a free notebook, unlimited downloads and a free dongle with 1gig a month mobile broadband.
If I took this offer I could ditch my separate home and mobile broadband packages so there is a saving.
I know Virgin home broadband is good as I know several people who are already on it but is the mobile any good?
I'm with Virgin.... my home package is unlimited calls, ( not mobiles or 0870 etc) & 10meg broadband - cost £25 / month.
Beware I was told that the BBC I player & ITV catch up would use 0.25 GIG per hour, so be careful what you are downloading !! you could soon use up your 1 GIG.

Hi, Does anyone know a 'discount code' that can be entered when applying for cover ?
Thanks, Mark.

Not huge but quite big :-) I have some photos on my webs site at http://nbgamebird.co.uk/ Follow the link to canopy , second entry on the left hand side.
I really must get something onto the web site about our fantastic trip on the Crinan and Caledonain canals in June this year

Nice hoodwork ! where did you have it made ?
Mark.

Well here I am, just got back from work, logs in & finds out that WW3 has started since I last logged on
A BIG thankyou to Mrsmely, Tony, David & Julie , Athy ( including anyone I have missed ) who gave constructive answers to my questions. I was merely asking other owners what paperwork they may have (or not ) received when they bought their boat.
It seems that some paperwork at the time of original sale (from the broker in question) went missing & the owner hadn't realised . After many phone calls all is well & paperwork is in the post.
So I hope to collect in a couple of weeks, I'll update you all at the time.
Thanks for your input, Mark.

Hi All,
The 2007 Sea Otter boat in question was sold by a Marina as 'ex display', a month after build to the chap who is now selling.
Can you remember if you received these documents when you bought yours ?
ORIGINAL
1) Certificate of conformity ( a Sea Otter document ).
2) Invoice showing paid from broker.
3) Build certificate ( from Sea Otter )
4) Boat Safety certificate from inspector.
5) Appliance record from inspector.
6) Service book - stamped.
7) Paperwork showing any history of moorings ?
8) License - any paperwork ?
9) Maritime & Coastguard ( MCA ) Bill of Sale.
Have I missed anything, do you have anything else, or perhaps you did not receive all of these.
Any help appreciated as this is a private sale & I want to make sure that I see what is expected in the way of paperwork.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks, I'm in the Sheffield / Buxton area so will have a look in Yellow pages.
Cheers.

look for a plant glazing firm in your area who will be able to do it
Thanks 'Denboy'.... what does plant imply ? do you mean commercial plant or greenhouse ?

Hi all,
One of the side window glasses of a boat that I am thinking about buying has been shattered, either lawn mower/ stone or air gun !
If I remember correctly it is about 24" x 15" with two bottom corners that are rounded off. Any idea how much to 1) change yourself or 2) have done by ' auto glass' type person ?
Any advice appreciated .
Thanks, Mark.

Would it eventually work on a Nokia N95..... he says with fingers crossed.
-
Thanks for the reply Haggis . will join the Sea Otter club.
Just got to arrange the trailering 200 + miles. Will be pleased when its in the water up North !

Well Hello, my 3rd post !
I am going to look at / purchase a 31' sea Otter tomorrow. Looking forward to the future ! We will eventually be moored in the Macclesfield / Peak Forest area. Will post more details once we have secured purchase with a deposit.
Anyone a member of the Sea Otter club, is it worth joining ?
Cheers,
Mark.

Some boats are on the Small Ships Register. These are generally ones that go abroad (for which it can be important) but for various reasons quite a few inland boats are too. If yours is, you can trace the registration back.
Thanks EH.
I have come across this sale document on the net -
Any of you guys & girls seen one before. It seems that there is a registry of shipping at Cardiff . Not sure if narrow boats are registered in the same way as other craft. The document mentions ' outstanding finance / mortgage '.... will call Cardiff tomorrow.
-
Yes it is possible details here- http://www.britishmarine.co.uk/upload_pub/...ark_leaflet.pdf
Unfortunately the scheme was another good idea that wasn't really taken up by boatbuilders and others in the industry which was a shame.
Some level of protection can be had by using a good contract of sale.
Thanks for your replies, appreciated.
The HPI scheme I was after was one that enquires as to if there is any outstanding finance or any insurance repairs recorded on a boat. Like when buying a car & using e.g the RAC report.
-
Hello, this is my first post.
Is it possible to have a HPI check done on a canal boat, ( like the RAC do on cars ) to check out finance, insurance work etc.
