Any post 1998 boat built by a commercial compay, (and, any DIY built and signed off as RCD / RCR compliant)  should (must) have used ferrules on the wires.

 

Gosh...

Oh! 

 

That never happened to me when I once sold a boat with no ferrules on the wires. There were no consequences whatsoever.

 

Hang on, someone's at the door.

 

Oh fcuk, they've got a very long rope...

Strange that he found time to discover that the wiring wasnt terminated with a ferrule but missed the leaking macerator loo.

You dont need a long rope, it has to go tight before you reach the bottom, it does have to have an EU certificate with its breaking strain

Not sure it'd be classed as breaking strain, but their are minimum figures for the pull-off force fot the terminals - is that any help ?

AKA the terminal connection needs to be secure.

A lot like the rope around MtBs bollocks !

I’ve read through this. And unless Ive missed something really obvious, it seems to be a case of read before you sign. If you are not prepared to pay a non refundable deposit, why are you paying it?  I work in a business where we challenge contracts and understand exactly what we just signed. In private life I do the same.

A bit harsh. Your comment, not the rope, hopefully.

It's the modern way. Just as CMers sign up to move around and then complain when CRT make them move around, people pay non-returnable deposits then whine about it when they cancel for no reason and don't get their deposit back.

I believe the ECHR has already ruled that the rope has to be of a sufficiently soft texture to avoid chaffing prior to the launch
