I'm with Ricardo on this. I used to be out a lot in winter on "Glenmore" and, in the cold, depended quite a lot on the electric posts because my webasto was woefully small for the size of boat. Again, as Ricardo has said, there were very high water levels occasionally when I was out and this never ever had any effect on the availability of the posts.
As for calling this bickering, surely its discussing the pros and cons of a power supply in winter? I also think there is some credence in the comment about the "new" posts being of a design more suited to caravan sites.
If a discussion like this is now viewed as bickering, then, this site becomes no more than a sterile bulletin board!
