As far as I'm aware, the general train of thought is not to use stainless steel fixtures or fitting under water because of the possibility of crevice corrosion occurring in the absence of air. For this reason the tendency is to use non stainless steel through-hull bolts. I've seen people use...

Which raft are you asking about, Charter, Iso, or Ocean? The 4-man Charter raft I have inflated here is 1650mm square, and 1300mm from bottom of floor to top of canopy. Hope that helps.

I've always been confused by which is which between Lidl and Aldi, I know we have one of them nearby, but no idea which one!

Randomly just came across this too, so it's still spreading! http://www.lovemoney.com/news/household-bills/gas-and-electricity/23220/how-im-heating-my-house-for-8p-a-day?source=1009001

I have heard a few people saying it's very fumey but haven't personally thought...

Sorry for reviving this but out of interest, do you remember where you got this (or was it home-made)? I've been looking for something similar for a while and this looks just the thing!

Well someone just payed £4.70 for that thing. That's most expensive than buying the parts new !?!

Any pictures? Sorry... :rolleyes:

Having seen the results, most people are either just having time off from work, or retired. No surprises there then!

Although this sounds ideal, I'd personally be slighlty concerned about overheating issues. I know they don't get that hot, but running continuously the pump bodies do get rather warm, and put them in a confined space for 20 minutes (while pumping out a long shower perhaps) and it *might* be a...

Couldn't have summed it up better than this really.

Or just on the off-chance that you have some lying around on the boat, I've used Mylar sail repair tape with great effect on portlights and hatches with cracks to effect temporary repairs (one of which lasted a year and a half looking no worse that when it went on). Much better than sellotape.
