Thanks for your comments one and all,i'll look at the cutout switch first.as the engine does not appear to overheat as per the gauge which holds around 80C when run for awhile.
-
You have explained it right Barry, it's simply that the engine water heat trips the thermal cut out on the immersion element, there is no adjustment as it's a safety device, I guess you could try replacing it as they cost bus fares, if that fails you can fit a restrictor valve in the engine hot water circuit so it doesn't get so hot. Another possibility which I have seen is in a twin coil calorifier where somebody has plumbed it to circulate both coils, in that case just disconnect one coil and see if that helps.
Hi,David do you mean replace the immersion coil (single in my case) or the thermal cut out.Does that not come with the coil as one piece?
Is it just a case of unscrewing it and replace,i have'nt looked yet as its blerdy cold on the boat and iv'e put it to bed.But will look at it when it gets a bit warmer.Thanking you.

Don't know if anyone else has this problem,when the engine is running it heats the water to a high temperature,
if i moor for the night with Leccy i switch it on and it does not heat the water.
Unless i take the cap off the top of the boiler tank and push the safety switch back in then it works ok.
Is there a temp switch on the Calorifier to turn it up or down as it seems that it trips the switch.
after running the engine for awhile.? Maybe the temp is too high which trips the switch.
not a big problem just annoying i have to keep resetting it.
not sure iv'e explained it right.

I am currently with BT and have been for quite some years,no problem with download speeds etc,but does anyone know if there is a better option out there ie: as regards phone/Broadband savings.
I looked at Talk Talk today some quite good deals there at the moment but when i looked at the current reviews 95% were awful.citing slow download speeds,poor customer services etc.non existant help.overcharging the list goes on.Help.

Now that would be catastrophic if that were to happen,The world as we know it would stop..everyone including me would be affected..

Whats worrying for me and we have been on about 6 cruise ships is that it does not appear that they did a lifeboat jacket drill that same evening.we have had a drill within 2 hours of boarding the ship. So this question of hitting a reef etc does not tally up. I do not think this captain or his no 2 will get another job.

Does anyone know if its 100% secure on wifi at home?

Spent last saturday night on the boat in the marina,with howling strong winds which moved the ariel perched on the roof pointing it the other way and still got a perfect picture.WOW before the changeover i would regularly lose the picture.
-
Have not tested it lately Andy,but only 10 days ago on the southern rivers most places i got at least 60 channels on Freeview.
And i have an old caravan ariel on the roof.(altho a good one) It was a case of pointing it in the right direction with no trees in front.
I know most of the best reception areas down south for recieving signals and they are Cantley and Hardley mill,Bramerton woods end, Reedham and Surlingham ferry inn.
WRC,Beccles and Oulton broad, New inn moorings can be pretty patchy.

I`m ALWAYS looking at the brokerage websites, and saw a nice little Hampton 25 at Waterside marine. It was on their site since last year, and Karen and i looked at it in late June when we were up there. We worked out the cost etc involved, and decided we wanted to go for it. We went back the next day, and Alan May at Waterside explained they`d arranged a trial run for somebody else the following day, and they subsequently bought it
. Just bloody typical, we see one after waiting so long, and it goes the next day 
.Hi,Bill theres 2 more Hamptons for sale at WM both at £14,950..

Nice bit of kit david..

WOW,This has caused so much grief with locals..Since introduced 4 years ago from £3 and now to £10 for everyone next year..Looking at the replys on the EDP site they will stand to lose many,many customers over this..Where do these airport managers get there brains from,if they have any at all..

Hi,Lori,
Missed you at Oulton yacht station i think i saw your boat come in but did'nt know it was you.
Our boat "ToT Tyme" was moored behind that old wooden boat (yellow and white ) on the floating pontoon outside.
We had a fab week too. and now i am looking to go out next week as well seeing as it could be Hot,Hot,Hot.
Glad you both enjoyed your holiday (goes quick don't it)
