There are different interpretations of the split, and how much money should be given to HMRC when buying fuel.

Obviously when under way your batteries are being charged and the water in your calorifier ( a bit like a narrowboat immersion heater) is being heated up, but the question is "Is the battery charging and hot water a by-product of the propulsion, or is the propulsion a by product of the battery charging and water heating?"

The answer largely depends on the personal integrity of the individual boater.
