Hi Frank, welcome to CF.com

By cruising if you mean visiting the IOM (and therefore the boat then leaves the IOM and doesn't try and claim a 10 year stay as a "visit", whilst you also live and work in the IOM )......then should not be a problem.

FYI our French cousins give Jersey boats 6 months a year (if no VAT paid) before they try and charge VAT - in practice more than ample for the boating season.

Frank...May I suggest you go to the Plumbing Systems and Fixtures forum and start a new Thread.."How does My Shower Drain Pump Work on my Bavaria?"
You'll probably get more responses there.
Good Luck.
