Welcome to the forum. If you are looking for the southern broads then Brundall Gardens Marina at Brundall would suit you. All the facilities you need and WiFi. If you have another base and leave the boat occasionally then you wouldn't be classed as a residential boater.

There is a programme on Radio 4 now, inside health, It is on insomnia. It should be available on catch up.

Printed out and laminated, thank you.

Welcome Sean and Ben to the forum.

Anything will seem unexciting compared to yesterday 😁

He moved to Australia 10 years ago 😂

There is a flood warning on the Yare for tonight and tomorrow.

Agreed, It is best left as confidential until any prospective purchasers wish to announce it publicly.

Welcome to the forum Monday. It is always interesting to get views and memories on the hire fleets, old and new.

Is there an easy way to see if a YouTube thing is monetised. It seems to me, and I am no expert, that those who aim to make money out of a video approach it differently than say SwanR (Jean). I enjoy the gentle nature of Jean's and others output where as I hate hearing the biased spouting of some egotistical snot who thinks I value his opinion and usually has an axe to grind. What I do enjoy, and always read, are our own members holiday write and memories.

I wonder if the Qr code still works 😁

Never have this stuff installed, it should be banned. My son has to refuse a mortgage on most properties he surveys that has it. I have seen it cause failure of a roof. Sorry for the thread drift 😁

No, nothing fitted other than the brass one on the exit of the pump. Given the cost of a new calorifier I will remove the old one and take it home to see if I can get the remains of the threaded fitting out of the outlet fitting, I am not very hopeful.

A warm welcome to the forum.

Turns out the brass fitting is a pressure relief valve. I took it apart and found a spring and a small disc. I cleaned it up and refitted it. The pump is replaced and all leaks fixed. Having refilled the water tank and switched the pump on I checked the calorifier under the bench on the other side. Four pipes, four small leaks. I managed to fix three by tightening the Jubilee clips and tweaking the fitting up a bit. The fourth one wouldn't stop leaking so I decided to take it off and remake it. Trouble is it decided to sheer off the calorifier outlet fitting. The calorifier is probably past it's best, it isn't factory insulated and is showing signs of rusting. Looks like I will be fitting a new unit. That wasn't in the plan. I might stop off the domestic connections and connect the engine pipes together as a temporary measure until I come back up. Tomorrow will be turning my much under rated skills to the toilet pump replacement, lowering the bilge float and changing the gas regulator. Turns out the Flogas regulators changed and the refill bottle doesn't fit the old regulator. Edit Blimey, I have just seen the price of calorifier.

I saw your stern disappearing round the bend to The Ferry House this morning, too late to wave.😁

I will keep an eye out for you tomorrow as you pass Brundall, as long as it isn't too early 😁

Thanks Vaughan, should I leave it slightly open as it was, although it was dripping slightly when the pump was on or close it right down. I will need to check the calorifier on the other side of the boat to see if it has a pressure relief valve
