TO celebrate River Canal Rescue’s 25th anniversary, managing director Stephanie Horton is giving away prizes every month, throughout the year. In November, 13 Towpath Talk readers can win a copy of Stephanie’s book, Narrow Boat Engine Maintenance and Repair, worth £20 each.
This practical guide details everything you need to know about how to keep your engine operational and your boat moving.
With a focus on diesel engines and their arrangements, it explains the theory behind the boat’s main systems – including propulsion, cooling and electrics – and gives instructions on how to identify key components, how to locate faults and, where possible, how to fix them.
There are tips on everyday engine maintenance and how to complete a service and all instructions are accompanied by more than 260 colour step-by-step photographs and 60 technical diagrams.
For your chance to win a copy, simply enter here (https://www.rivercanalrescue.co.uk/towpathtalk/) with your contact details.

The draw is final, and no correspondence will be entered into. Entry is free and open to residents of the UK aged over 18. Only one entry permitted per person, there is no cash alternative, and the prize is not transferable.
