I want to live on a narrowboat within London; what's the best mooring to rent/are there any moorings to buy?

Something within easy commutable distance to central'd be lovely, as would a lot of greenery. Thing is, I don't want to be on a stuffy mooring, as I'd like to host a couple of parties. That said, I don't want security to suffer.

What's the best thing for me to do?

1.)Just bought a new boat. I have run it 4 times end every time its something new. Its the 5.7L Mercruiser, rebuilt in 2005. Today I was running it for about 1.5 hrs and then it suddenly cut off. I put it in neutral and it fired back on, but quickly cut back off. Tried to start it again, but I am getting nothing, hardly even a click. I tried the batteries, and they were both almost drained (couldnt even power the radio). Got back to my house and tried to start it again, but nothing. This time the batteries would run the radio and also tilt the motor. 2.)I also have been having problems with it running. Twice I have taken it out and ran fine for an hour or so, then it cuts off. Those times it will start back with some coaxing, but will only idle...if i throttle up it quickly kills followed by a little backfire. Seems like there is water in the fuel line.
Any ideas on these two issues? Could they be related?

So I mixed the fuel correctly, and charged the battery. Put the boat in the water and motor doesn't turn over. It just emits this spinning sound. Help?

On the bottom of the trailer, where the boat sits on, its a carpet material. I heard someone say you can buy plastic ones for you to load you boat easier, anyone no what they are called? and where I can get them?

Just picked up a Mercury outboard 80hp, 2 cycle from the late '70's, I assume, serial # 5773548- What is the fuel mix ratio? I have added a fuel tank of regular gas, without mixing- How do I now mix the fuel?

Thanks!

And if somebody knows Spanish too, which would be the best for "velero"?
But anyway, the difference between these two is the most important part of this question.
Thank you.

It seems that boats would be able to go a lot faster if they had something similar to an automatic transmission that cars have. By limiting a boat to one forward gear it seems as if a lot of the engines potential is wasted. If your car only had one forward gear you would never be out of first and really only be able to do a maximum of like 40 miles per hour.

So I know Red, Right, Returning, but what about travelling from the mainland to an island (5 miles from shore). Does it switch at some point as I head into the dock on the island?

How do I know when it switches?

What about travelling along the island or coast from one port to another?

For my assignment i have to find out the difference between a barge and tug boat / supply vessel.

"A company once used to build barges now builds tug and supply vessels"

now this company is making losses, and my task is to reorganize the yard according to good management practice.

so people could you please tell me where i can find information on the differences (in terms of structure, machinery, material etc)?

Many thanks

I am doing research on the Bermuda Triangle and I cannot find anything that explains what "all hands" means.

example: "USS Cyclops disappeared with all hands."

I have an 89 ranger 2.9L with 4.10 limited slip axle. and was wondering how big of a boat can I reasonable pull out of the water with this truck?

Im thinking 18-20 ft but dont want to try it and slide off into the lake.

PS Im thinking of a concrete launch not gravel or dirt.
