We do not mind where its held as we are both retired but most people i assume are working which will make it difficult for them with limited time on water unless they are on hols.

What dates are we looking at, after easter end march early/mid april??
We are obviously not going to please everyone, does it have to be on a freebie 24 hr mooring or will people be prepared to pay for one ??? comments please. -
Does anyone know of a place in Norfolk that stocks smaller stainless steel sinks other than the big stores which tend to be larger its for the galley on my boat, someone said there was a place in Great Yarmouth. The worktop will be around 500mm depth so it has to be small to fit it.

Brilliant post Juiz,
I first came to the Broads in 1958 and we stayed in Dutch Tutch (Potter Hiegham Riverside property) a converted Great Yarmouth Helter Skelter which was brought from the seafront after the war i think. (And its still there at potter looking no differebt than when i stayed there in 58) Looking forward to the next session.

Does anyone know of a good Boat Canopy maker who is good and not too dear and you don't have to wait 10 months for it to be made.?? Oh an resides in the Broads area.?

I think most of ours comes through the hatch cover, mainly due to, as Jonny said, the tiny drain holes round the rim blocking, we did have a problem with the cover itself being porous but since I have fixed that we get less water,
As for the i ssue of no bilge pump in there I cannot see that as a major issue as once the water got to the top of the engine bilge wall it will go over the top and then the main bilge pump will shift it, never had more than three or four inches in the bit under the engine but even if it was full I cannot see it affecting the boat at all, certainly not enough to come within feet of sinking. Think about it if the bit under the engine that was dammed off to prevent polution held 40 gallons that is only 400lbs, or three 10 stone people, or as my mate once said when stopped by the law for having his car overloaded,
Gordon,how did you fix the porous hatch??? i am intrigued.

There is lots of free moorings at Wroxham unfortunately tother side of bridge so might restrict some boats unless someone pulls out the plug.. :-D :-D :-D :-D
-
Thanks ian but i live in Stalham and would prefer somewhere up there.
-
And also let you put it in the water as and when???
-
Does anyone know of boatyards that store small boats on trailers,16ft. on and around the northern broads.??
-
Yes,there is an auto bildge pump left on but it does not cover the engine bay as according to the BSS you are not supposed to have one in there in case you pump out oil etc by mistake.
-
ARP Hydraulics new shaft box,i am now told it is probably coming from the hatch engine bay when we have a downpour of heavy rain as we had last sunday next day i pumped out 4.5 gallons of water out.like jonny said he fitted a tempory pump and a pipe,seems to be a problem on rear engined boats.Thanks A-9.
-
Has anyone had excessive water entering the engine bay on a rear engined boat is it a poor design of the compartment due to the hatch not being deep enough?
-
Sorry about sunday alan,wife nagged me about something and i completely forgot but if you are about on boat again i will try to make it this time.
-
Has anyone fitted radiators as a means of heating during the winter months?? and what type of Heater would you connect it to and how much cost are we looking at for 3/4 radiators?? reason being i would like to upgrade to Radiators.

Hi,Basil44, I have found a cooker Bompani 101 at Stalham gas they sell it for £223 i think you can get it on the internet for £187 from calors website but they charge £20 for delivery will also remove your old one for £12 and take the packaging away for £10 which i think is a bit steep.it has all the flame failure devices you want but the big question is getting a registered Corgi fitter to do it,even tho it says on the advert suitable for inland waterways boats.
-
Thanks david,it should'nt be a difficult job just cut another hole and screw a vent on it.as long as it is above water,don't want to be another casualty under water.

Has anyone re-fitted the inside of there boat ie: new galley,lounge,bedrooms showers,toilets and do you have any info pics etc?

Decided on Jeckells of Wroxham for my covers as i had previously had some seating done which was excellent and reasonably priced if you order before end of December you can get a winter discount of 25% which i did and they will be ready sometime next week. Saw the chap who owns Wroxham boat covers and he could not fit them in the boatyard as he would not pay the extra insurance to work on the boat and his price was a lot more than Jeckells.!!! Thanks all for your valued comments and help much appreciated.
