  1. Hello therealist, The type you are asking about is just like the one fitted in our engine bay a Birchwood 340AC, it has a bracket for easy fitting with a overflow and bottom outlet with a lift off cap. I think you need to speak to Jason at Ludham Bridge or Jon at Wayford Marine to see if they could source you one. Regards Alan
  2. Hello Gracie, Welcome aboard from Tan & myself. Regards Alan
  3. Hello therealist, Welcome to the forum and your first post. have a look at the following:- http://www.elyboatchandlers.com/accumulators/fiamma-a20-expansion-tank If you do not have any luck then get any plastic water tank that has a mounting bracket from a salvage yard. Regards Alan
  4. When I first started cruising on the Broads I thought it would be fairly easy after years or Canal Boating holidays, how wrong was I, so much to learn and still learning 13 years on. A lot heavier narrow boat tends to steer itself into the entrance of a bridge or tunnel the weight of the boat and the narrow entrance of the bridge tends to suck the water from under the boat to aid height clearance but makes passage slow. As already stated on the Broads tides and wind effect passage through bridges we should be thankful for the Pilots at Wroxham and Potter Heigham. Sadly these bridges un-passable in our boat, but if we wish to go beyond these we rent a day boat. Regards Alan
  5. Hi Ian, The old three arch bridge was replaced in 1931 with a single span concrete bridge and again in 1997 with the current bridge which was due to increased traffic and weights. Regards Alan
  6. Hi Dan, I have to say I disagree with you regarding the front cover, it is supposed to be a Collectors Edition with Hoseasons celebrating 70 years. My first thought is that it is very poor. The rest I agree with you. Regards Alan
  7. Hi Lori, I looked around the new hire boats that Broom's are hiring a couple of months ago. I thought the boats were ideal for a couple to hire, well laid out and comfortable. Regards Alan
  8. Hello Peachy, Have a look at our listings of places for moorings on Useful Links, Slipways, Information/moorings Here is a link to this area:- http://www.thenorfolkbroads.net/forum/index.php/forum/85-moorings/ Regards Alan
  9. Hi Jon, It looks like you have mastered the art of uploading pictures or have you just beaten your computer into submission? Regards Alan
  10. Hi Roy, Starting from scratch is hard drawn out work, lots of rebooting of the server, no doubt missing files or drivers, just to get the operating system on. Once you have a functioning system then the work starts. Regards Alan
  11. A copy arrived on the door mat this morning. Had a quick flick through and noted that some of the canal prices have risen since last year, not sure about the Broads section. I will look through it in due course. Regards Alan
  12. Hello Clive, You must be proud of all of your staffs hard work in getting the award. Regards Alan
  13. Hi Jon, Please give it a hit on my behalf, but go for a 14lbs hammer rather than the 7lbs to do a proper job. Try following the advice given for loading a picture again. The picture above was almost 2MB Regards Alan
  14. Hi M, That is a tall order, yachting, boating as you know a licence to print money, how well do you know the person? Do you know what they have in their boat kit. Have a look on this site for ideas:- http://marinestore.co.uk/Rope_and_Sail_Repair_Tools.html The Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl at a Price of £12.99 (they do stock them at Jeckelles) http://www.force4.co.uk/1309/Force-4-6--Splicing-Fid.html A splicing fid at £4.95 or a larger one at £8.95. I hope you find something. Regards Alan
  15. Hi Roy, A good addition the Broads Beat, lets hope they can target more crime. Regards Alan
  16. Hi Jon, Look in the pictures section of the forum and follow the instruction in the topic below. Basic Instructions to upload your pictures Regards Alan
  17. Hello Jon, I am sure that members of the forum would like to see some pictures of your project, I know I would. Regards Aaln
  18. Hi James, I guess you were happier when the boat was on the supports. Great pictures by the way. Regards Alan
  19. Hi Robin, Electric mud weight indeed, good idea re the led though. I am just glad that we do not have to pull ours up with a rope. You are not the only one that has traveled a distance with the weight down. Regards Alan
  20. Hi Mark, It would seem you had your fair share of joys of boating in the last few seasons. It happens to us all, just had the bill for the work on our boat for the issue with the cutlass bearing housing, ouch! Regards Alan
  21. I tend to use Brian Ward's due to its location (near to our moorings) and have never had anything but excellent service and always with a smile, Tanya & Nick know their stock and are very helpful. Having an account and a discount helps. Regards Alan
  22. Welcome to the forum from Tan & myself. I look forward to more posts. Regards Alan
  23. Hello Rod, Thank you for the information and like yourself I wish the crew a speedy recovery. Regards Alan
  24. Hello Andy, Thank you for the information, I assumed the power would not be off for long. Sadly I have been without internet & email at work all day, evidently a BT fault in the area affecting our provider. Regards Alan
  25. Hello Clive, Just common courtesy, but now we know they are contactable by a Facebook page as you say no need to have anymore reports. Regards Alan
