Agreed I can see those chocks damaging the tender. Wood is for more forgiving. Not difficult to make and should be a lot cheaper. Like this

Thanks for sending me the pdf files That impeller is:- 18948-0001B JABSCO IMPELLER I bought mine from here:- 18948-0001B JABSCO IMPELLER You may need to file the keyway slightly (one of mine had a small burr) But apart from that it fits well and lasts way longer. IIRC, it was a recommendation...

Not a parts list but the raw water impeller can be replaced by a Jabsco nitrile rubber alternative that is cheaper and lasts years longer. I was talking to a friend yesterday who has the manual you are referring to. I am either going to copy it or find it on line somewhere.

Following on from my last post. Since making that step, I have been helping a friend with his bathing platform. Between us, we have been working on a new technique. Using my 3D printer, I have been making various templates to help with Top Welding. These are the kind of things that I've been...

Sorry - I had problems with this forum software so continuing with a fresh post. Steps The steps from the bathing platform were done in Flexiteek - I didn't make them. I haven't done the flybridge steps yet but I have done some mockups. First mockup I welded the step panel and then Top Welded...

Sorry for the delay in the reply - we were traveling out to the boat and I want to give a full reply rather than use a mobile phone. Without a doubt this is the best heat gun to use:- A Leister Hot Jet S Leister HOT-JET S, 230V/460W, EU plug | 100.648 | Heat Guns There are lots of different...

The Sailrite is definitely the tool for most sewing jobs on the boat. However, it can be difficult doing the thinner fabric jobs like curtains etc. So, don't give up on the domestic sewing machine. We use both. SWMBO has a nice Pfaff machine that we use for light stuff. But that machine...

Yes that's correct. I bought the internal led lamp at the same time. It integrates into the new motor control and lights up the working area from a light above the needle. That was a good addition as well. I've only done a couple of jobs with the new motor. It feels like it is sewing too...

My bilge pumps are always on but I switch everything else DC off. Shore power stays on. Battery charger on. Plus some other shore powered devices - 4G router, VPN router and security cameras.

The PVC supplier is Lows of Dundee. Lows of Dundee Ltd | Industrial Textiles | Coated Fabrics | UK Wide Distribution | Sidecurtains I think the part number is C7456 - they do white, grey and an awful shade of blue. The white rolls are 2180mm wide and 25m long so quite heavy to ship. Other...

It isn't so much skills as patience and an attitude of "bloody mindedness".

Yep - it DOES take me a long time. I'm retired and I have space at home so I can set it all up - do a bit - leave it - do a bit - leave it etc. But in answer to your question - a couple of weeks of evenings. The hardest bit is getting the size correct - the boat is 1000 miles from home - no...

I think that your motor home would have had it all integrated into the fridge (gas etc). But these Waeco units are available for all DC fridges. Check them out.

For the very reason in this thread. Shore power goes off so any DC left switched on will discharge the batteries.

For me, leaving the DC switched on whilst we are away from the boat is a No No No No If you must have a fridge on whilst you are away, why not arrange for it to be powered by the shore supply. All mine are. Waeco supply fridge power unit that will power a DC fridge from both 240v and DC (12v /...
