  2. It was more than stuck, 4 inches of ice if you look at the stern you can see where the engine heaters are keeping it fluid, at least 3 to 4 weeks to thaw, there,s a thread on here from the time, breaking the ice to get out for new years
  3. They bought that boat from scarbourgh for me and then to the broads, and have launched one for me from the quay at Wells harbour, it was a while ago but i think by milage it was about 340 for 100 miles, but don t quote me on it! service second to none, can,t fault them

  7. hi, if you do a customized stream, then set it as your default it acts as a new content button,goto edit this stream, click on customise, pick everything, then save, then make it your default,you name it what you want say..."mine" and then it,ll be at the top right, you could even name it "new content!! there..........clear as mud but it works!!
  8. don,t know about 23,s , but on my falcon 27 the pump out tank is under the dining table.....and it,s impossible to get at as it,s glassed in, the diverter valve is behind the wall in the cabin and the pipework is horrendous, i would take the toilet out for the test and fit a porta potti, not ideal i know but the cost of a tank pipes skin fitting and perhaps labour would never be made up on re sale ,,
  9. Hi i d go for the larger unit also when you are plodding around normally you can use less revs ,less noise and as mentioned above it takes at lot of grunt to push assist a spring tide thou Yarmouth

  12. I ve said it before but i think ba should invest in electronic real time display boards, at a loose end tonight so had a think of how to do it, got as far as the sensor, which would work mounted over a tube set on the bank with an open end and large perperations(so it woul dn,t block up!) then link it to a display mounted on the bridge....https://www.apgsensors.com/ultrasonic-level-sensors/iru-3430, simple !!
  13. Wroxham has suspended balls, why not have a warning system at Yarmouth, like http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/Id/71085 although rail bridges same problem?
  14. Reminds me of a time when i was an apprentice at raf wittering, no1 squadron had a night watchmen spitfire, for one big bash in the sgts mess we pushed it around the camp ,taking up sign posts to get it to the mess, it was the real thing thou ,and was soon nicked by the historic flight for "spares or repair"!!

  20. hi, if you try to repack it in the water ,the water will tend to push the packing out!! and if your unlucky you won,t be able to get the new in.....as you don,t know what,s in there now ,you need to to find this out first ,out of the water would be better then remove a turn of old packing and meassure it, the packing gland looks very near it,s limit thou,need name of gland? and size to make a call on it. tb ps the water is to lube the gland
