The old Pontins site at Hemsby was very unlucky with several outbreaks of fire before planning permission was given for housing.

Just to observe that, as someone who knows nothing about running a business, this morning Herbert Woods is a hive of activity. The staff, who Ive always found helpful and friendly are all over a row of beautiful shiny craft taking aboard bed linen etc. ready for holiday makers.
Let's hope the sun keeps shining, they have a wonderful time and return often 👍

It's so easy to miss understand and take out of context what members write/ post. I'm sure nobody intends to be hurtful or rude.
This is the 100% most important message to keep in mind on the internet 👍

A lot of fun to be had with inter service rivalry. My family (not me sadly) were well represented in the RAF, a good friend and also Gill's dad were RN.. well placed insults abound 😁

I had to google uckers.... There is an additional definition to the board game in contemporary slang, those of a sensitive disposition have been warned! 😱

We bought simple/cheap Bluetooth earbuds for our phones from Amazon. Just a free phone call on our joint sim plan and you're good to go.
However, we just about always forgot to use them and gave up altogether when we changed boat to something where it was easier for me to hear every expletive.
Edit: to add, these were the type with built in mics

I would imagine the Blue hose to be the feed from the water pump. I would assume it goes right into the T piece to feed the cold taps and left into the calorifier. This is a similar setup to how mine used to be. I used to find that after a fair bit of engine running that the cold would sometimes run a little warm as hot water expanded back out of the calorifier. I over come this by fitting a non return valve between the cold feed into the calorifier so that hot water couldn't return into the cold circuit. Off course you need to be sure to have a pressure relief valve fitted to the calorifier.
That is exactly what I have found 👍

Interesting about the pressurised water, thank you.
As for the blue hose... I'll have to look where it goes next time as I hadn't actually noticed it!

Barton Broad Chris? Looks like a nice day 👍

I don't think Ive ever known someone with more patience, it looks great 👍

Is that pic looking down at it or sideways at it?
That is sideways so the connections are in that order physically top to bottom.

Just for clarification, a clearer idea of the actual hoses on my calorifier -
A. To domestic hot water taps
B. To engine water pump housing. (1)
C. To engine bleed valve housing (2)
D. Cold water in (Fresh water tank then pump then expansion tank) to calorifier.

I'm learning so much here you guys are great 👍
I'm going to see if I can get a bit more detail out of the photo of the Calorifier later to try to compare to the above info.

Ray, the line for the number 2 hose virtually points to where your temperature sender unit is. The nut just next to it can be loosened and used to bleed the system. If you loosen it when the engine is cold you should get water weeping out, if not there is an airlock and your engine is reading that it is not getting fully warm, because the coolant is not reaching the sender unit, which is on the side of that housing.
Got it, that makes good sense. Thank you 👍

Hi Do you know which of your hoses that go to the calorifier comes from water pump this should go to the bottom connection difficult to see this from you picture it looks like it is on the side ref turn tank 90*??. what do all the hoses do/go to. John
In my photo the hose that is numbered 1 goes from the water pump housing to the top of the 2 fittings on the calorifier.
The calorifier is lying horizontal but appears to be intended that way as the two engine connections lie one above the other on the right hand side of the tank and the red release valve is at the top middle of the long side.

did you do it whilst the engine was running and hot? If you undo it slowly water ought to be forced out under pressure.
The engine was running but it hadn't warmed up, next time I'll run for a while first!

Hi Ray Looking at your tank is it held by two straps or does it have a fixed base? what i am thinking is the tank needs rotating 90*, your engine is a base Kubota Nanni is a French firm that Marinizes them, on my Kubota the heater pipe comes from the rear of cylinder head. suggest a trip to Peachments at Brundle they are the local agents. i have tried to google the cooling system but unable to access a picture, except for one that shows there are two outlets on top of head near thermostat housing. the engine should run with a 85 degree thermostat does your engine get to this temp? John
The position/fixing is something I'll have to go back and check John.
We got to 75 on a recent run of about an hour. This was a simple gentle cruise mostly about 1100 revs. I would imagine but can't say for sure that if we were punching the tide at Yarmouth for example we would go a bit higher.

If memory serves it was just a case of undoing it a few turns till water started coming up the threads.
In that case I have to go back to do that again, I loosened it but there was no water!

Great photos 👍 Looks like a beautiful day!
(I didn't realise that Somerleyton wasn't always passable. I've had too many low air draft boats!)
