  1. thanks very much. so simple!!
  2. Hello there. My inverter is using so much battery power I would love to charge my laptop through a 12v adapter, but all I can find online are car adapters, which plug into cigar lighters. Not having a cigar lighter on the boat, I look to you for solutions...!?
  3. Hello there, our water tank is very rusty. We have heard that you can get plastic bags to put inside water tanks. Does anyone know where we might be able to get such things?
  4. hi i was wondering if some one could give me a quick breakdown of how to change the oil and oil filter on our list petter? thanks

    Blacking

    Hi there, next weekend we're getting a 2nd hand boat we plan to buy taken out of the water for a hull inspection and held out over the weekend to be blacked. I have been told by plenty of boaters that we can black the boat ourselves, but I wonder if anyone here has any tips on technique/equipment? Cheers, Becki
  9. we have been looking at second hand boats and have one that is really nice. it has a pump out toilet which we would like to change to a cassette. can any one tell us if we could simply remove the toilet cap of the tank (after cleaning) and put in a cassette or is it more complicated? many thanks becky
  10. I have been looking at secondhand narrowboats to buy. All but one (which was dry as a bone) have had lots of water in the bilge. I've been told that this is fine and it is just a matter of pumping this water out, although a boater friend said to me yesterday that (although her boat currently has water in the bilge of her boat) I shouldn't touch a boat with water in the bilge "with a bargepole". What do you think of a boat that has been left standing for some time with water in the bilge?
  11. Does anyone know anything about these builders? Looking at buying a 45' all steel narrowboat built by them in 1991. Thanks!
  12. yes, smaller prettier hands than you used to have in your acting days. i'm glad their not your breasts, anyway, that would have been really weird
  13. thanks. yoda, you have bigger breasts than i remember...
  14. have been through apolloduck really thoroughly and am going to see boats. now starting on other sites too. re. previous question i'm not sure about the ventilation - going to look at boat tomorrow. the other two are all steel you'll be pleased to know
