Hi Guys, my brother just bought a beautiful Dutch motor yacht (not technically a barge, as she was built as a pleasure yacht about 90 years ago) He is currently moored near Runnymead and needing some help. Originally I was going to be helping him with the delivery from Holland, and installing the 240v system, (I am a superyacht captain with a fair bit of practical knowledge, having also worked as an engineer.) Unfortunately due to various delays this didn't happen, and friends of mine were able to help him bring her across from Holland instead. Anyway, he now needs to find someone to help finish the electrics aboard, and also a few other things to get her to pass the BSS inspection, such as possibly new fuel lines, and finishing the install of his Refleks diesel heater etc. If you know of someone who is in this area who might be suitable to help with this work and who doesn't charge like a wounded bull! If he needs to pay usual per hour rates from a shipyard then I am sure he can't afford it, but perhaps there is someone living on a boat near by, who would appreciate the work and be able to help out? If you have any ideas please let me know, I would love to help him but unfortunately can't at the moment due to my other commitments. He is incredibly busy and although very practical himself has to focus on his work at the moment. Many thanks Cameron

Hi, I am about to start fitting out a widebeam sailaway boat. I need an electrician to connect up the leisure batteries to the alternator and then to a fuse board. Once this is done I am confident to do the rest it is just this stage I am unsure of. I am struggling to find an electrician who will come to my boat to do this, the boat is currently at Hayes and Harlington and I wonder if anyone knows any good electricians who would be able to come to my boat to do this stage for me? Kind regards, Will

OK all you very very kind chaps and chapesses out there. This is a shout out for some tangible help if possible. My inverter and battery charger has taken one for the team. While I know these things are not cheap and I am able to pay for them, if anyone has any of the above gathering dust I would like to make a bid. My engine is running as well as ever, ( thank you P and S) I need a 70/80 amp alternator, standard LR type.and would like to employ the services of a recommended reasonable charging Electrician in the Hertford/Lee/Stort area. The boat has suffered some damp, but the humidifier will stay in for as long as I can keep it there. I need to get the boat back here for next weekend if practical. At the moment without 240v there are some extras I would like some advice and ideas on please. A 12v 26" + TV or What else is there.? Also a DVD player again 12v A fridge is going to be needed do I invert or do I go down the 12v route with that too , advice again please. Apart from the stated items, I will be ready to cruise as soon as soon as it is dry enough to sleep on.

We have had some issues with our Hull rusting; we thought we had the problem fixed in October but the rust has returned! The issue has been caused by electrolysis but we don't know enough about electrics to go looking for the problem. Does anyone know of anybody in the cambridgeshire/Bedfordshire area who can help?

My Narrowboat is in need of a complete engine rewire (its a Perkins Diesel engine). I'm looking for recommendations for electricians to come out to my boat, moored near Camden Lock, and give a quote. We're new to the area and don't know who to trust (certainly not the buffoon that did the shoddy wiring in the first place). Any help is appreciated.
