I do have a 240 fan heater that does a good job when we have shore power, but the noise and the positioning of it with limited sockets does become annoying. I would like something that doesn't rely on shore power or the engine running.

WOW ! Never seen anything like it. Creaking! i'm surprised it hasn't snapped in half with all that junk on it. I couldn't even step onto a boat in that state. Plenty of room though and it looks like a smooth if noisy ride.

Much the same from me. I empty all my domestic water though and I do close the sea cocks (I very rarely use the river or sea water for flushing the toilet any way). I leave the taps open. Tube heater in the engine bay set to cut in at 6 degrees. I do keep it cosy in there by blocking of the...

Hello all, I am considering installing heating in my s23. Can anybody recommend a particular make and model of heater. Thanks.

so, currently, what colour diesel is for sale in and around the solent and how much £ is it. last time I filled up it was £1.10 pl on a 60/40 split.

Diesel for me. The boat will cost you more but the re-sale value will be much better and the boat will be easier to sell. Cheaper to run, safer and much more readily available. Service costs I believe will be a higher but I don't know by how much £ exactly. I know its a bit more complex with...

I have a Sealine S23 with a KAD32 . The last time I had it at any sort of speed was 2019 and it was doing 30knots. I don't see why it shouldn't do the same now with a decent clean and a service. Despite what 'alt' said earlier about avoiding them at all costs, I find it quite a capable little...

Hello Croftie. M4 nut fits, so does 8/32 unc although its a bit tighter.. 2BA ???, I don't know about that.

I haven't tried a cover maker yet. I guess that's the next step. There is one that advertises at my local marina.

Evening all, I have a couple of 'lift the dot' studs missing from my windscreen track where it fixes my canopy to the screen on my Sealine s23. The studs are 24.3 mm long of which 10mm is a M4 thread. Does anybody know where I might get some from ? I have tried seabridge and britboats, both no...

Thats cleared that up then

Thank you. I'll give that a try. I assume the water pump is in the engine bay.

Good afternoon all. Long time since I've been on the forum. I hope everybody is well. I have a Sealine S23. When working properly the water pump pulses and water flows from the tap at a steady stream. Lately it seems to be pumping out lots of air and spluttering and when I turn the tap I can...

Nice to see you Paul. Can i poke around in this area safely if i isolate the batteries. Also, If the motor reservoir is low on hyd fluid will this stop it operating.
