getting a few jobs done....

We decided to stay in the marina today, and get a few jobs done.....Firstly, we've noticed that if the Eberspacher is run with the tender in the davits, it traps the exhaust fumes and leaves a sooty black mark on the side of the transom... so out with the Oxalic acid to clean that off..... it largely came off, but perhaps needs to be slightly warmer to complete the job.... in future we'll drop the tender if we want to run the heating....Secondly, the fridge popped a fuse last night.... I had a spare, but not of a high enough amperage.... I tried it, but no joy.... so a visit to the chandlery... nope... that fuse size isn't available in that rating.... it must have been at some point though!So I bought the bits to bypass the fuse, and put a spade style fuse in line of the correct rating.... and pop... that one went too.... so there is obviously a problem somewhere in the system.... I removed the controller... looking on the web its a very old model... so not sure what the situation will be for spares.... hope its not a new complete fridge unit needed, as i'm skint at the moment!
