My understanding is that cars A to E would all claim off car F. He’s the one who caused all of the damage. What if car C had already bumped into car B in front of it.... and then car F came along and shunted the lot. Do they all jump out and point the finger at F, or try to work out what was the first damage caused by car C? If I was the driver of car C then I’d certainly jump out and point at car F and exclaim “He did it!” 😜

I have sometimes wondered how insurance companies work out this kind of vehicle accident. Say there are 5 cars in a line waiting at traffic lights (A B C D E) and car F comes along at speed and crashes into the last car in the line, car E. And the whole lot concertinas. Is car B responsible for the damage to car A? Is car C responsible for the damage to car B? etcetera..... or is car F responsible for the whole lot? What if car D didn't have his handbrake on, which would have possibly stopped him colliding into car C? My understanding is that cars A to E would all claim off car F. He’s the one who caused all of the damage.

So we're not allowed to wish him a happy birthday ? Rog ETA Actually he was last online yesterday at 1.25pm naughtyfoxYes, he’s often to be found wandering aimlessly around assorted forums (not fora).

Electric motors have a completely different power curve to IC engines. I'd say larger diameter and reduced pitch. Buy another prop keep the existing one in case of a return to diesel in future. Consensus elsewhere suggests that a large diameter with small pitch will be more prone to picking up rubbish than a small diameter with greater pitch.

I do see very high charge rates which ramp down very fast, today my bank was fully charged I turned on the kettle over 60 amps going into the bank minutes later it just dropped to a couple of amps, and it wasnt because the sun had stopped shining! Yeah, the ramp down is very rapid, it seems, and you’ll only really get a chance to see it at low charging rates. The curves tracked by experimental users are quite illuminating.

I do give blood Tony, having received a lot of it over the years, I sort of feel the need to repay the debt! I have been doing it since I was in the forces, and only stopped for a while when I had strange jabs for the Gulf and Sierra Leon Yeah, I wasn’t suggesting that you should, merely confirming that your B- is rare

Did you know this is 'Gypsies blood'? Nope, but it makes sense. My father was from a Spanish circus family.

... if push came to shove I could crossmatch a couple of units of blood for you but the techniques have changed since I did it on a regular basis so it could take some time. I’m B+, does that help?

I’m quite sure that D9 could, if he wanted to.

CO (carbon monoxide) is probably the greatest risk. Petrol vapour the second greatest. Something to do with electricity, earthing, and shocks, is probably the third. As for CO I’m not sure it necessarily makes much difference if you simplistically say “don’t run it on the boat”. You could run it on the bank near an open window with the wind in the wrong direction and get CO inside the boat. Or you could run it on a cruiser stern with back doors closed and wind blowing it away from the boat, and not have a hint of CO in the boat. I think common sense has to prevail, and for when there is a common sense hiccup, have a CO alarm or two inside the boat. Petrol vapour - don’t refuel it on the boat. Simples. Electrickery. Well it depends on what you are connecting it to. Let us know, Understand not refueling on the boat.
It will be used for charging batteries rather than using the engine. CO alarms aplenty on boat.
I suppose my thoughts are about what do I need to consider to apply common sense, importantly am I missing something out. At the moment I think I've got it covered.
The ‘common sense’ bit is keeping the exhaust gasses away from the living accommodation.

Only ever use it on the bank, downwind of the boat. Ensure that you have working CO detectors. Chain it to something to stop it going walkies. Then we can talk about earthing...

Well yes, she’s odd. She wrote “As probably the only lady on here who had hunters and went hunting and did a bit if farming...” earlier today. She’s definitely female. Woulld that be Hunters wellies, Hunter horses, Hunter fighter jets or Hillman Hunters? Yes.
