*Shore Power Post*

[CaptinDread]

For the time being there will only be 2 electric posts working at Bramerton/waters edge as some idiot has wrecked the first post by what looks like leaving with shore power connected and ripping the thing right out of the post itself.

*So thanks you idiot!*

[CaptinDread]

[Baitrunner]

[JennyMorgan]

In the lazarette? Just a thought, it could drive a bike dynamo!

Thank to Google!

Really posh boats have a bucket & a live-aboard maid to chuck it for the owner.

Don't mistake the lazarette for the heads that could lead to all sorts of problems.

I wont comment on this, I did it myself years ago where I moored, lots of nice people waving at me so I waved back being the friendly type, TWANG!!!!!! power lead overtakes me leaving socket hanging out.... It seems they were not waving but pointing.

I was only nipping across to the fuel staging too.

Captain, Do you mean Bramerton Common, or The Waters Edge Pub? Both as a recall have three outlets.

The one I pulled out was re-fitted slightly on the lash with self tappers, stayed like that for years and worked fine, life is so much easier without h&s worries.....

Similar thing happened to the one at Sutton Staithe a few years back, one socket ripped out and one at Hardly Mill on the pontoon, was originally on the outside and it got clobbered, with a close encounter with the overhanging bow of a battle cruiser, so they moved both of them to the rear of the pontoon.
