    Cost to fit wind mast head unit and cable.

    Nope, just cable to the foot of the mast and, yes, there is an old cable to pull through.

    Cost to fit wind mast head unit and cable.

    As per the title. I've had a quote of over £370 ex vat. Is this in the right ballpark, or do I assume the rigger does not want the job?

    Cockpit enclosure

    Thanks a lot everyone. Looks as though a trip to the Solent might be on the cards. The only mention for the Dart area is negative and one of the alternatives is Westaway.:(

    Cockpit enclosure

    Inspired by the glorious spring weather our thoughts have turned to a cockpit enclosure. We're based on the Dart. Anybody got any recommendations? If anyone has had an enclosure recently I'd be interested in the price. I know dimensions will be different but a ball park figure would be...

    AGM Carbon Leoch LDC, Experiences?

    We fitted 4 of these at the beginning of last season. Not long enough to provide any useful data on longevity but I will say that (subjectively) they seem to recharge from solar on the morning much quicker than the SLAs they replaced.

    CE decision - will it affect RCD?

    So, if I understand correctly, we just need the VAT nonsense sorted and we'll be able to buy/sell leisure boats within the EU again. AS Dunedin says bad news for boat builders but good news for the rest of us.

    CE decision - will it affect RCD?

    Probably being thick but how does this relate to RCD? Are the two sets of regulations linked? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

    Power draw and inverters

    The inverter is a Sterling 1600 pure sine wave. Claims 1600w continuous and 2000w peak. Sounds as though I should be able to run an air fryer or microwave. Useful to know that the air fryer does cycle.

    Power draw and inverters

    Thanks everyone. A secondary if I may. Anybody have any idea of the power usage of , say, A 500w microwave over a a half hour period. I'm assuming that it will not draw full power over the whole period. Same question for air fryer.

    Power draw and inverters

    These may seem stupid questions but I can't find answers anywhere. I am aware that some appliances draw much more than their stated power on start up, but is there any way of finding how much. As an example I have a 1600w inverter - could I run a 1kw air fryer or a 600w microwave? If I manage...

    gas again

    I've nearly exhausted my last 4.5 Calor cylinder and, like everyone else, am finding it impossible to source a replacement. Having now been shafted twice (we used to use camping gaz) I'm keen to switch to another supplier. Our local marina have switched to Flogas but are not able to supply new...
