  1. Yes turn right at the fork in the river, it gets a bit narrow towards the end but there is a small dyke on the right just before the mooring you can turn round in. Just walk through the boat yard and up the lane and your at the pub. Doug.
  2. Finding somewhere new that we hadn’t been before, Geldeston village staithe and a nice walk up to the pub for a fantastic Sunday lunch.
  3. I replaced Nippers heater this year with a MV Airo blown air system, system complete with all ducting as it was a different diameter was £900, easy install and just plug and play took 3 hrs to fit. Make sure you go for a Marine system as van based systems don’t have a sealed exhaust as they are mounted outside the cab. Doug.
  4. If it stays in the water then yes antifoul as it will help prevent a build up of slime etc . The outboard is more at risk due to the cooling intake getting blocked. Doug.
  5. You can fit a bubble detector in the gas line, does your cooker have a FFD fitted if so should be ok. I always disconnect the bottle when we leave the boat that way we can be sure it doesn’t leak. Lexan acrylic and Perspex are all brand names, some have better uv protection a quick google should sort you out. Doug.
  6. My friends boat had a “Day tank” fuel was pumped from the main tanks into the day tank and it was this tank that fed the engines and generator, could this be what you have. Doug.
  7. I find the Apple case for the Pro expensive and not particularly good as it only covers the screen I have collected a dent in the back cover. Do you have the setting on auto so the screen dims itself. Doug.
  8. My bilge before being squashed.
  9. Yes more water than I would like since being squashed, hopefully be dry when I fix it next year, shaft with stuffing gland only drips when under way due to the shaft not quite in line, again on the list for next year. only if the canopy is down. Two, one aft and one forward, shower has a separate pump. From my one starter battery that’s live all the time even when the batteries are isolated.
  10. It actually opened yesterday and I did the section from Coltishall road to Wroxham road, yes I agree with the roundabouts but the thing that astonished me was the poor quality of the tarmac you would expect a new road to be like a billiard table this is definitely not. Doug.
  11. Received mine today, only thing I would say is that the photos seem quite dark. Doug.
  12. Well I've spoken to a friend of mine who was a washing machine engineer. It's most certainly powder blocking your washer. His advice is to remove the grey door seal and put your arm up the inside and squeeze the pipe while running hot water down the tray this should soften up the powder and clear the blockage. Doug.
  13. Go for a boat designed one. I fitted a 12 v one earlier this year it is powered from one 110 battery topped up via a battery charger when on mains. We went for the 80 Ltr as it almost the same size as the Electrolux gas one
  14. Maybe it’s us on t’other side that needs the fenders.
  15. It’s a wooden boat ...right, wood floats. Doug.
  16. Google pixel is really good value at the moment, I hated my Samsung S7 and couldn’t wait to go back to an IPhone Doug.
  17. Depends how much oil and where it’s coming from, is it a fibreglass boat if so the bilge should be dry. Could just be down to poor maintenance, I looked at a broom skipper before buying Nipper and the engine tray was full of water and oil the reply I received when asked why “oh I forgot to clean it” I walked away. Doug.
  18. Richardson’s Stalham or Horning, Wayford Bridge, Eastwood Welptons Upton to name a few. Doug.
  19. If you now how thick the cabin side is you just need a trailer to take the planks to the planner, I have done this a couple of times with Martham. Doug.
  20. I'm not sure if Martham's planner is limited to 24 inches but always worth a ring. I don't know of anyone else other than maybe Patrick Richardson at Potter. Doug.
