I’ve not posted for a while, I’ve just been lurking recently. I’m having problems with my engine it’s just stopped. I’m just wondering if I should take it out and leave it on my back deck for three weeks? As I understand it that’s what’s recommended by the most knowledgable person on here.

Put diesel in tank, bleed via the fuel filter then crank in the key until it starts.

It would be worth looking at putting it on the back deck for 21 calendar days to air any grievances the engine may have.

Tony Dunkley is the man to help with this. Perhaps it might help if you allow your BSS certificate to lapse or loosen your mooring ropes so that your boat floats off for a bit and smashes a few other boats up.

How would it help letting my bss lapse? As I understand it I can self declare that in fact my boat doesn’t have an engine or gas or a multi fuel stove and crt will just let me off.

I'm not sure but as Tony Dunkley is the only boater on the entire network to understand licensing rules, I'm sure he will be able to explain it.

No. CRT have cracked down on this, they now only allow engines to be on stern decks for a maximum of 14 days. Consistency of rules, alignment with mooring regulations, Parry would have learned this at management school. Major stakeholders in canals, dog walkers and cyclists, find engines dumped on stern decks unsightly and sometimes upsetting, not fitting with the now accepted ambience; that life is better by water.

Maybe your engine just wants to hibernate till the sun shines again

has your engine been in close proximity with others within the past 14 days?
is your engine in a vulnerable category?
please DO NOT contact RCR, they are currently underwhelmed.
