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.

Thanks both, Pete

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

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

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

Thank you very much Tony for that detailed answer, if anyone fancies chipping in on how to test, if I say my knowledge is minimal that is probably over egging the pudding. Pete

Thanks Tony I'm not sure what you mean by too higher voltage any clues what I may be looking for or how to test? Thanks Peter

I won't be back on the boat until Friday so not sure, it is just a mysterious box with no indicators on it. I did a test using the diode setting on my multimeter (after disconnecting) and assuming I did it correctely it indicated it was working. Peter

Hi, Was wondering if anyone had experience good or bad of the Airlink BT3240 transformer my boat is in for blacking and has some signs of electrolysis, so looking for a better way to protect the hull. The boat spends most of the time in a marina plugged in. There is a galvanic isolator, Thanks Pete

I have a friend who does professional car detailing and he does have an angle grinder in his aresenal for difficult jobs but he says it took many hours of practice (and mistakes) before he could use it without burning through the paint.

Yes but they take up more space when folded. Pete

I assume you can't get to a car at all, Rotec in Sutton-in-Ashfield happily replaced my Beta 38 domestic alternator from stock. They are about an hour away from you in a car. Might be worth calling them for advice 01623 453512 even if you can't get there.
