Engine manufacturers have a case to answer here but I also wish BW would make more of an issue of running engines in gear on a mooring. Maybe mooring fees should go up to cover the extra cost of bank repairs and dredging ;-)
Steve NB Bream Because I take boiler feed from the canal and normally feed the boiler when passing moored boats (to balance the reduced demand from the engine) I'm only too aware of the mud stirred up by people who run engines in gear! Personally I'd put a complete ban on electricity in boats... Sean
