I can confirm that the online operation is trading and my item was eventually delivered. Some problems with out of date contact information held by Paypal.

I ordered an item with TCS Chandlery on Tuesday but received no order confirmation even though the transaction went through on Paypal. Tracked back on my phone to their trading platform which said "Transaction failed" although they've definitely received funds from Paypal. Their website has a...

NOW SOLD

Numax sealed

My Smartgauge (just changed both fuses) is showing error code 03 which means voltage is too high. I thought maybe the PWM controller has failed and 2 x 20 solar panels (probably not 2 x 20 after 10 years) overcharging the batteries, although lights on controller seem normal. However, with error...

Not drain plug That would just cause it to leak after the "misuse" event wouldn't it, rather than ongoing seepage?

It’s coming from the top end - I will check the drain plug

Replaced by transceiver. This is receive only so no complication of erasing MMSI number. NMEA 0183. Complete with power/data cable, Co-axial cable, manual and CD Rom. Also listed on Ebay and Facebook Marketplace

My Honda has an oil leak - it seeps down the leg and collects on the bottom. However when I look at the oil level it aways seems to be at or above the mark. Any obvious things to check?

Seemed a much better boat than the Shrimper 21 but I've seen a few of the latter in the wild but never a Crabber 24 (latest version). I...

The instructions for setting up my new ICOM VHF are ambiguous. On the one hand it says ATIS ID also needs to be set after MMSI input (except for USA and Australian versions) but the page on inputting ATIS ID says "for Dutch and German versions". Why not French - they have commercial inland...

This ones for the heads basin so sweetcorn only comes up..........sorry I'll skip the rest! My preference would be a reducer if I can find one

Tried to remove old hose to ensure replacement is right size - definitely need junior hacksaw for this but noticed the threaded plastic fitting on the sink outlet is bigger than the seacock and somehow the hose had been stretched over it . Doubt I could do that - is it possible to get “step up”...

Another vote for Nu Signs in Mutley, Plymouth

Further investigation shows galley drain hose is double clipped and although not reinforced type is pretty thick pvc with no cracks or kinks so will leave for now. So I’m just replacing the one in the heads which needs removing to double clip anyway. Can’t imagine anything more than 40C going...
