Small solar panel and bilge

Finished installing the 10w solar panel - any bigger would have needed a regulator. Changed the lead over from croc clips to cigarette lighter socket.
Painted the bilge with red oxide and touched up the hull with blacking. Also tightened the bolts on the stern gland - they were very loose and I was getting through a lot of grease.
Replaced the old damaged hose from the coolant header tank to the engine heat exchange also replacing the jubilee clips, then topped up with coolant.
Took the boat out for a quick run to stenson - no leaks detected on the cooling system.
