BOATDATE: 01082019
ENGINE STATUS: Dead as a Dodo
HEADING: Nowhere, obviously
Doing the usual round of engine and battery checks in the morning I turned on the ignition and zilch, nada, nothing. Spent an hour examining the electrics and eventually found a cable detatched from its spade connector on the starter motor. The connection had not been crimped tightly enough and not soldered either. Don't have crimpers or a soldering iron with me but there's ways round that. Got it fixed and continued on our way to Gas Street Basin in Brum though we ended up mooring just before Deep Cuttings junction and the turn onto the Birmingham and Fazeley canal.
When I get home I'm going to re-wire this boat.
