  1. I have tried big shops and little and all have said no to working on the boat.
  2. Does anyone know a carpet fitter in the Nottingham area who works on boats? Cheers Pete
  3. I think Steve at SJM marine is and is definitely local 07746 764685
  4. Just to support another commentator, full time WFH on the boat over winter, very lonely. By the time you have done 5 full days the rest of your time is spent doing necessary chores. Summer is fine as you can work near the boat, and others are out and about. Winter everyone is buttoned up and in a hurry to get somewhere warm and dry. Full disclosure never tried it whilst Cc'ing only in a marina, but in my mind CC'ing likely to be worse.
  5. You could try SJM marine on 07746 764685. He is always very busy which I take as a good sign. Pete
  6. I am pretty confident you have done this but I had exactly the same symptoms and mine turned out to be really dumb. To be belt appeared to be well adjusted but rather than sitting in the V groove on the bottom pulley it was just running on the pulley extension for the domestic alternator. Due to space on mine it was impossible to see until you were basically up side down in the engine bay. Pete
  7. Used them twice, they are fine to apply, did you ever cover your school books in sticky black plastic, the trick is to keep the air out. The first time I did them and the second time had a pro but both times they looked good to start but started to peel and flake after a couple of years until I pressure washed them off. My assumption was I had messed it up the first time but as I say I had a pro do it the second time with no more sucess. Pete
  8. You can get past in a narrow beam, we have passed both ways in the last couple of days. I think you would be out of luck in a wide beam boat.
  9. How far south can you go on the Soar with a river only license? In my marina it is an article of faith that you cannot go into Loughborough let alone beyond on a river only license, but looking at the T&C''s it says 'Trent Junction to Leicester'. Anyone know for certain which is correct? Thanks Peter

  13. Hi, I'm talking about replacing the clear plastic tube that connects the red cap to the tube that goes in the dipstick. I just can't figure out how the tube connects at the dipstick tube end. Pete
  14. Has anyone ever changed the clear plastic pipe on a pela 6000, I can see how to get one end off but I cannot see how to disconnect/reconnect the thin black pipe. If you have changed it what size pipe does it need? Thanks (yet again) everyone Pete
