Jim Wortelhock Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have fitted several double usb outlets up and down the NB. They are flush mounted meaning that all is required is a tiny hole for the wires. The bonus is the blue backlight which provides just enough light to navigate around at night. I have not seen them anywhere else but Bimble Solar have them at around £5. Very happy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sold with a bracket for mounting on motorbike handlebars. Found them on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No backlight, but a small red led when it is switched on. Edited December 17, 2020 by David Mack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for ones like Jim's without the LED. They're not readily takeapartable to get at the interals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that I fancy driving the car on - especially on a dark, wet night but I suppose the turntable was fitted with some sort of stop plank to prevent the car and driver ending up in the cut. I have definately seen one like that, but it was a smart car not a mini. There was a the engine house then open deck on which the car would fit. I believe it either had hydraulics to lift the car to the level of the canal side and foldable ramp for the gap. The rest of the boat continued and looked quite traditional in all other respects. While travelling I even met a gentleman who was very proud that he had a bath tub on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a boat on the Gt Ouse often at Ely with a grey van in the hold, I have seen the same boat this week minus van, I have a feeling it was at WFB but could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
