Hello there, Sorry for starting a probably well thrashed-out and potentially very stupid post, but after reading this forum and googling in general for an embarrassingly long time without gaining an understanding of what will do the trick, I'm still scratching my head. I'm doing up a 45footer and I'm after a system that will provide hot water for bath/shower, taps, a couple of little radiators for chilly mornings. I've got a little multifuel stove for heating on really cold days, and I have a morco d61 which I haven't fitted yet because I've realised I won't be able to run any radiators off it (useless, I know). I'm hoping to get a combi boiler of some sort, but the only ones mentioned on here are Alde, which appear to be in the over-a-grand cost region, which is a bit of an issue....but could be managed with a bit of saving. Would any other kind of combi boiler do, would I need anything else with it, or would a tank > pump > boiler > taps/radiators setup be functional? I've read some of the really useful guides on boat heating and water systems and I'm really impressed, I know a lot more than I did but I'm still wondering if there's a reason why you can't just buy an lpg boiler like this: http://www.mrcentralheating.co.uk/Heatline-CaprizPlus-24KW-Combi-Boiler-and-Fernox-Installers-Pack?gclid=Cj0KEQjw6pGfBRD09M-TmYTBzqIBEiQAcRzH5xtPIk5-EU3__2QYKdILCB5vKBf-3YkP9BYH3YKQ08kaApF78P8HAQ& Many thanks for your help all, and sorry again for starting a new topic on this.

I'm just putting my boat, which I've just bought, back into use after being laid up for a few months. After getting the air out of the gas and water pipes, I finally got the water heater running, and while it generates a lot of hot water, the temperature of which is controllable from lukewarm to "Ouch!!!", the pilot light is slightly yellow, and the main burner flames, while blue with basically the right cone pattern, are lifting off at the back of the burners. The heater is an 11Kw unit. Is this likely to be caused by a misadjustment of an internal gas pressure regulator which can be corrected with a pressure gauge and a screwdriver, or is it something that needs a full service by a professional gas engineer? All the venturis are immaculately clean. The boat gas pressure is correct within the limits laid down under the BSS tests. If I turn the temperature down, the flames settle back onto the burners. Or, is this, in fact, just normal behaviour for a Morco water heater? I'm in a bit of a hurry with this, as the boat is due to be launched in a a week or so, and I will be moving on board a week after that. Thanks in advance. Bye! John.
