Narrowboating Quickies – Webasto Heater Exhaust Rehash

Posted on April 22, 2020April 12, 2020 The Engineer

Since rebuilding the burner for the Webasto water heater on board nb Tanya Louise, I figured it was about time I sorted the exhaust out as well. The standard Eberspacher / Webasto type exhaust system components are shit. Nothing is properly gas tight, no matter how you build the system,

Boating: Drydock Time – New Running Gear & Rudder Modifications

Posted on July 9, 2016July 9, 2016 The Engineer

We’re now on the final leg of the jobs to be done on the boat! Above is the new prop & shaft, supplied to us by Crowther Marine over in Royton. To fit our current stern tube & gland, the shaft is the same diamter at 1-3/8″. Unfortunately no 4-blade

Boating: Drydock Time – Running Gear Replacement

Posted on July 3, 2016 The Engineer

Things are coming along nicely with this year’s drydock operations. Shes looking much better, the second coat of bitumen blacking is on, we’re going to continue at a coat a day until we’re due back in the water. I’ve now removed the shaft from the stern tube to gain better

Boating: Drydock Time – The Inspection

Posted on July 1, 2016 The Engineer

It’s that time again, so the boat is out of the water for it’s 3-yearly maintenance. Some things over the past few months have been bugging me, namely a pronounced vibration in the running gear while underway. (Issue was easy to spot here!). nb Tanya Louise being a very odd

nb Tanya Louise – Compressor Install

Posted on November 26, 2015July 13, 2016 The Engineer

Compressed air is a rather useful power source, especially when all maintenance is done by the on board crew instead of by boatyards. Screwfix had a good deal on a 50L 3.5CFM air compressor, to save space this has been permanently mounted in a free space & air will be
