Twin wifi dongles - thought it was an AP issue, but appears to be power...
#3
Yep. Turns out it was the USB-5mm power cable (cheap eBay job). It helps that I have a number of USB inline power meters to hand - I could see that the hub was trying to draw power from the cable connecting it to the RPI and not from the power lead.

Quite happily typing this now on my system running off a car battery in my living room. Will get to test on our boat in three weeks :-) Thanks.
