I need a new shore power cable and am wondering whether the cable I have for my caravan will suffice. However having looked around the marina some boats seem to have mega chunky cables, so am wondering if boat cabling is higher ampage for some reason.

I need to disconnect my clipper depth gauge to remove a panel, If I disconnect it from the power will I need to re calibrate/ set it up again or will it store the data?

We're at Brundall

Hi has anyone any experience of the costs involved and any recommendations for companies that offer the service to clean and polish a 33ft boat on the Broads. I am Thinking that after I have purchased all the gear required to do the job is it more cost effective to pay someone to do it. Thx

Thanks he sounds ideal

Hi has anyone got any recommendations for a gas safe registered marine engineer in the Brundall area. Need a new cooker fitting in the future thx

I am relatively new to the broads , but am I the only one who finds that anything to do with the broads authority is over complicated and entails reams of paperwork filling. I got registered for online tolls, at this point I thought it would be easy to add a tender onto the system to enable me to pay my dues on it along with my main boat. I Couldn't find any way to do it so called the Authority up only to be told I have to fill out all the forms again for a new application. Is it just me or does this sound ridiculously long winded and a waste of paper?

Hi Has anyone got experience of a decent, reliable marine electrician in the Brundall area? Thx

Thanks I suspected it probably wouldn't be efficient enough

Hi just wondering if its possible to use my calorifier to heat a couple of radiators. If so what is needed? Or is there a mod to change eberspacher blown air heating to run a couple of rads? Thx

Thanks will try EE

Thats exactly the problem I am having so I agee I think 4g is the way forward. I am hoping someone on here has experience of the best network as my phone network 3, is rubbish. The online signal checkers give EE as having a good signal , but I know these are not that accurate .

Hi yes have tried them all none of them gives me a great reception

Hi based at Tingdene Brundall and struggle to get a decent WiFi signal to run a remote security camera, have asked the question on here re wifi boosters but it looks like best way to go is a separate mobile wifi unit. In which case is there anyone on here who currently uses a mobile device and gets a good signal in the marina.I am on 3 and its sketchy to say the least thx

Hi can anyone recommend a WiFi booster, My marina has WiFi and I am not too far from a post, however the WiFi dips in and out on my boat. Is there anything out there that I can plug in on the boat to boost the signal from the marina WiFi to make the signal stronger and more stable? Thx

Thanks, is there a model number as all the ones I have looked at dont seem to have the external aerial. Did you get it through o2 or on its own and then add a data sim?

Hi can I ask what make and model it is as I am looking for one thx

Think I am going to buy this from marine tech that someone has suggested on another forum, looks like might do the job. Marine tech Lalizas boat toilet disinfectant dispenser unit £13.25

Actually v good point , I'm assuming that when they did the job they were careful but maybe not. When we can get up again will get the marigolds on and go for a delve underneath!!!!

Yeh only this year, but the electric toilet and all fittings are brand new just b4 I bought it , hence why I am pointing the finger at the river water especially as its not even been used for a no 2 yet lol

Tbh to try and get rid of the smell. If there was an option to pump in the blue stuff as per a caravan I wud take that. Agree its a boat not a hotel, but a caravan isn't a hotel either but that doesn't stink every time you open the toilet door.

Its a Jabsco not sure of model, mind you the cynic in me wonders if Jabsco say that to ensure you buy the mod kit at £500 lol.

Hi is there a kit out there to adapt a sea flush toilet to have the option to use freshwater from the tank to flush. Ideally I would like the option to switch between fresh and river water thx

Thanks Griff will set it up the same tomorrow

Hi going to the boat tomorrow to complete the winterisation before lock down. She will be on shore power with a couple of tube heaters and an oil filled rad on froststats. My question is while on shore power do I leave the battery charger on and charging both the engine battery bank and the domestics, or just the domestics or none? Hopefully this is my last dumb question of the season.
