    Go searching in your mail system, you should have had an email with the details 

    Found it! I hadn't realised that I'd had it done about six weeks before the due date (and the examiner didn't post date it to the due date as he should have done 😠)

    The info will be on the BSS database, maybe try phoning the BSS office?

    Sounds like a possibility. I was sure that I'd looked it up online shortly after it was done but blowed if I can find anywhere to do it!

    Speak to the examiner that did the BSS(if you know) he may have a record.  I don’t know if it’s a legal requirement for the examiner to keep the records for a certain number of years. But he’ll be your best bet to point you in the right direction to obtain the info.

    That's the other problem... I used a new examiner last time after my customary one retired, and I can't remember who he was! (Also, I thought it was due this year but looking at my records it's next year).

  4. Hi all, I can't find my paperwork for my BSC. I think it's possible to find it on the interwibbly somewhere, but the boat safety scheme page seems useless. Any pointers? (I'm not a CART customer).

    It sort of reminds me of the 'case' put for building the Humber Bridge back in the 1970's, all that was, was a vanity project so that we could have the longest suspension bridge in the world. When it was opened, after the original novelty wore off no one was using it.

    Not true. I've unicycled over it. Worth every billion. See profile picture.

  6. Having a straight flue I use a boat hook or a piece of wood. The baffle plate is the important bit to keep clean. Trouble is, if it sits on the fire bricks, corrosion builds up behind them and it can be a bugger to take out (thinking boatman stove here).

  7. Those blue clips that hold the push-fit connector in place are very fragile. Be careful with it, and think about buying a few spares if you are going to play with the pipework much.

    Do these freezing events actually happen on Boats? 

     

    Yes. Had a burst pipe in the feed to a shower (buried right in the middle of the boat where it was in a less exposed location, before I realised that the NRVs had stopped it draining) and a probable knackering of a thermostatic shower (which was dismantled, reassembled with some bits left out that I couldn't understand the location of, and continued working).

  9. Beko freezers are often rated as suitable for garages, and I'm looking at one for home. Can't find a fridge rated for that sort of temperature. I could live with no ice for the G&T when it's very cold on board, that's going to the pub to warm up with a pint of Titanic Plum Porter weather 😋

  10. I'm thinking of replacing our ancient but functional LEC 12 V fridge with a mains powered one (various reasons, but not in a rush to do it). Now, most mains fridges have a climate rating of 10 C or 16 C to something fairly high. What happens when the temperature in the boat drops substantially below the lower temperature range? At some point presumably the fridge gives up and ambient temperatures are cold anyway, but does anything undesirable happen? The boat is unoccupied for at least several days a week, but I'd like to leave the fridge on so that we have ice for a G&T when we get back.
